DRIVE-IN RACKING:

Tombacco Marketing, Spanish subsidiary of the Italian parent company Tombacco, has recently installed drive-in pallet racking in its 5000 pallet-capacity warehouse. The new system allows the company to gain substantial storage space as well as improve product quality, given that items are no longer stores on the warehouse floor. In view of its success, the parent company has opted to upgrade its facilities in San Doná di Piave, close to Venice, with similar installations.

The developed surface area of the Gerona centre covers 4,600m2 (250m2 devoted to offices), of which some 3,100m2 are taken up by the warehouse. The company has installed a complex of drive-in racks measuring 100m long, 23m wide and a maximum of 8.5m high. The warehouse has 98 lanes with five and six load levels in height and nine in depth, with a capacity for 4,948 pallets measuring 100mm x 1200mm x 1200mm and a maximum load of 400kg per unit.
