Warehouse Pallet Racking
Efficient Pallet Racking for Distribution Centres
Challenge: Consolidating Storage for Expanding Operations
AMG Group, a leading UK distributor of outdoor gear and clothing, needed a storage solution for their new 113,000 sq ft distribution centre at Westway Park, Renfrew. The challenge was to optimise the facility’s storage space, with the goal of achieving 11,250 pallet locations while accommodating the company’s rapid growth and future expansion plans. The warehouse had a 12m eaves height and required a layout that worked around structural supports while also ensuring efficient workflow, marshalling and picking.
Solution: High-Capacity Racking Installation
Link51 was tasked with providing a high-capacity pallet racking solution, utilising the full height of the building to maximise storage. The final design included:
- 21 runs of racking installed up to the maximum eaves height.
- A goods-in and goods-out area positioned in front of the racking.
- 10,500 pallet locations, meeting AMG’s 5-year growth plan.
- Careful consideration of the warehouse layout to work around structural steel supports.
Despite tight timelines and limited access due to incoming stock, Link51 completed the installation on time and within budget.
Impact: Streamlined Operations & Cost Savings with Centralised Distribution
AMG Group now benefits from centralised operations, with all stock consolidated under one roof. The new racking solution supports streamlined logistics, cost savings from reduced consignments and greater capacity to handle future growth.
Key Features:
- Efficient use of warehouse space with maximum pallet locations.
- Flexible solution designed to accommodate future expansion.
- On-time installation despite challenges, ensuring minimal disruption.
