HIGH BAY PALLET RACKING:

Germans Boada, the construction tools and machinery manufacturer and distributor, has used an effective yet rather uncommon approach to designing its new facilities in Tarragona (Spain). The design of entire production plan and warehouse facilities came about through a group effort, involving both the contributions of those responsible for engineering, together with input from a number of businesses who would eventually become the Company’s warehousing, storage and computer solutions suppliers. Once the logistics and manufacturing requirements has been set, the company was on its way with the construction of its 22,000m2 facility.

The picking warehouse has a surface area of 6,000m2 and houses the stock used in order preparation. In this case, the racking, which can hold up to 2,448 pallets, measures 50.5 meters in length by 52 meters in width by 6.5 meters in height. One shelving unit has been reserved for manual picking, which has 141 picking levels, each of which can hold up to 600kg of weight. Merchandise is also dispatched from this bay, and each of the carriers that the Catalan company works with has its own assigned docks and exits.
