S.E.M.CO has completed phase 3 of Racking Project for Timber Merchant. S.E.M.CO has worked with various branches of this well-known Independent Timber & Builder Merchant for over 25 years and has recently completed Phase 1 & 2 of their new storage solutions at their 11-acre South West based site.
The site, one of the company’s larger multi-operational distribution centres operates a sawmill and treatment facility servicing the group as well as external customers throughout the UK and The Channel Islands.
Phase 3, the biggest phase to date was completed in 2 weeks and has been transformative to the site and how it operates.
Warehouse & Yard Racking Manufacturer
When the site was acquired in 2019 it was in a deteriorating condition and has been brought up to date over the past 5 years.
Working closely with S.E.M.CO the requirements and needs of the site were identified allowing them to design a plan that would optimise space whilst minimising disruption and enabling 100% selectivity of stock.
S.E.M.CO are full members of SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association), with our teams fully SARI (SEMA Approved Rack Inspector), and SEIRS (Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme) registered.
Timber Merchant Racking Supplier
The installation crew took 2 weeks to install 4 runs of double-sided Cantilever Racking, which consisted of 33 columns at 5928mm high and were configured into 3 column blocks, or 11 double-sided racks.
Additional arms and columns were provided to allow for flexibility of the racking when product lines change.
All components were fully galvanised to protect it from weathering and to increase its longevity in the covered, open-ended warehouse.
Benefits of Timber Racking Solutions
Choosing the right racking supplier can make a huge difference in the benefits you can achieve from your storage systems.
This Timber Merchant has noticed increased storage capacity and selectivity as well as less product damage and deterioration. Since the installation, the facility has been easier to navigate stock, cutting selecting and loading time by up to 50%.
They also expect forklifts to use significantly less fuel after project completion, reducing carbon emissions and improving operational efficiency.
