Auckland-based Humphreys Landscaping provides a full landscaping service, from landscape design, to construction and maintenance.

Scope

The project encompassed a highly-customised storage solution for this landscaping company to accommodate all their supplies, from fertilisers to plants. Work benches and storage lock ups needed to be included within the racking system. Our team worked closely with Humphreys from design through to consenting and installation.

Challenge

Humphreys needed pallet racking against the internal walls of its warehouse, using its full height to maximise storage and keep the floor clear for vehicle and trailer lock up. Attention to detail was paramount – to create a place for everything, with everything in its place.

Solution

We achieved this for the client by designing a pallet racking solution with varying frame heights and beam lengths. Wire mesh shelving was used to keep things clean and tidy, while plastic bins took care of bits and pieces, and clear labelling kept small parts easily visible. To integrate storage cages and benches, we used wider bays and longer spans between posts. These were designed so that the strength of the racking wasn’t compromised, and the design remained within code.

Owner Scott Humphreys was pleased with both the process and result.

“Out of the three companies that looked at the project, PRS were the most willing and able to resolve our problems and gave me confidence over the others that they understood what was required and were able to solve the difficult integration of storage and benches.”
