If space is at a premium we can offer pallet racking that can be used effectively even in very narrow aisles. Wide aisle racking with sprinklers, column protection and rack aisle end barriers Wide aisle racking Adjustable beam racking is the most widely used of pallet storage systems and allows direct access to each pallet. By selecting from a wide range of sizes and duties for standard frame uprights and beams, Avanta racking can be configured to meet precise criteria in terms of load volume and weight, accessibility, handling requirements and space utilisation. By allowing fork lift trucks to operate in aisles up to half the width required in conventional pallet racking, Narrow aisle racking makes excellent use of floor space and maximises the height at which goods can be stacked.

9 Our full range of Pallet Racking is available at: Drive-in racking Utilise your cubic space not just your floor space High Density Storage Effectively utilising floor and cubic space, dynamic Push-back racking is amongst the most space and time-efficient pallet storage systems available. Pallets are loaded in sequence onto wheeled carriers of differing heights and are pushed back along inclined steel guide channels to utilise the full depth of the racking. Drive-in racking Push back racking DESIGN A variant on standard adjustable beam racking, Double-deep, as the name implies, allows pallets to be stored two deep but still accessible from the same aisle. By reducing the number of access aisles and using the space saved to accommodate additional racking, a Doubledeep configuration provides a highly spaceefficient storage system. Drive-in racking provides a highly space-efficient solution to the storage and throughput of palletised goods. By dispensing with access aisles drivein racking provides a high-density of storage in a given area to increase capacity by some 60-80% over conventional aisle racking. Push back racking Double deep racking 10

10 Pallet live racking Dynamic Storage Pallet live racking provides high levels of storage density in a given area. Pallets are loaded onto dedicated lanes of inclined gravity rollers which are set at a fixed gradient. When a load is taken from the picking face, the next pallet rolls into position, with replenishment stock loaded at the opposite (upper) end of the lane. Carton live storage or flow racking operates on the same principle as pallet live storage, but is used for stock which needs to be hand-loaded and picked. Pallet shuttle systems from Avanta UK, offer a deep lane storage and retrieval system. It is a carrier used to move pallets within a specifically designed racking structure. Mobile racking Avanta pallet racking systems can be converted to a mobile version in order to save space.

27 Our clients include: From a single item to the full turnkey package sales@avantauk.com 28 Case Studies One Customer, Two Storage Solutions From Avanta UK The client is one of the world s foremost steel component manufacturers with multiple manufacturing sites across the globe. The company has achieved growth organically and through acquisition. Avanta UK Ltd was invited into two sites in the North of England to offer solutions for two distinctly different storage issues. DESIGN Site1 This site needed to increase production and storage capacity. The client was looking at the design and feasibility of a new purpose built warehouse in order to extend the manufacturing facility into the existing warehouse. Avanta designed the new VNA racking system to give a storage capacity of 5000 plus pallets measuring 1200mm wide x 1000mm deep x up to 2020mm high. Site 2 This site also needed to increase production and storage capacity but there was no additional space or option to build. To cope with increasing demand the client was having to single stack pallets on the ground in lanes. Avanta UK suggested a Radio Shuttle Racking system to the client as the best way to deposit and retrieve pallets in a building with limited height.
