Optimised racking systems play a pivotal role for timber merchants handling a diverse range of products. S.E.M.CO offers bespoke racking solutions designed to meet these needs, ensuring efficiency and organisation.
Key Storage Solutions for Timber Merchants
Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking is ideal for storing large quantities of timber. This system provides easy access for both manual picking and forklift use. It’s designed to hold long, bulky items such as timber beams and planks.
The open design of cantilever racking allows for the arms to be adjusted based on need, which can be tailored to accommodate various lengths and sizes of timber products. This adaptability ensures that timber merchants can efficiently store and retrieve their inventory, minimising the risk of damage and optimising warehouse space.
Pigeon Hole Racking
Pigeon hole racking is perfect for smaller quantities of timber and panel products. Pigeon hole racking consists of multiple compartments, or “pigeon holes,” that are ideal for organising smaller, thinner pieces of timber or panels. This type of racking is particularly useful for keeping different types of wood separated allowing for ease of access and handpicking.
Vertical Storage Racking | A-Frame Racking
Vertical Storage Racking sometimes known as A-frame racking, is designed to store sheet materials such as plywood, MDF, and other panel products.
The A-frame design supports the panels at an angle, making it easy to slide individual sheets in and out reducing damage.
Benefits
Maximised Storage Capacity
Efficient use of vertical and horizontal space allows for more inventory to be stored without expanding the physical footprint of the storage area.
Improved Organisation
Specific racking types, such as pigeon hole and A-frame racking, help keep different timber products well-organised and easily accessible.
Enhanced Safety
Properly designed racking systems reduce the risk of accidents and injuries by securely holding timber products and preventing shifting or falling.
Increased Efficiency
Streamlined picking processes and easy access to products reduce the time and labour required for inventory management.
Reduced Product Damage
Robust and tailored racking solutions protect timber products from damage during storage and retrieval, preserving product quality.
Adaptability
Adjustable racking systems can be customised to accommodate a wide variety of timber sizes and types, ensuring flexibility in storage needs.
