SHELVING
THE
LOAD
| Client: | Palfinger NZ |
| Location: | Auckland |
Palfinger is the leading supplier of lifting, loading and handling equipment in New Zealand.
Scope
As part of the Gough Group they demanded the best when it came to the design, supply, installation and council consent for their new pallet racking and cantilever. This large installation saw the inclusion of longer length (3.6m) beams to accommodate the over dimensional products in their range.
Challenge
Aside from the installation of all new pallet and cantilever racking we handled the shrink wrap, lift, transport and installation of their existing steel shelving at the new site. This saved countless hours for Palfinger and allowed seamless business continuity. We installed our Longspan steel shelving together with their existing steel shelving to allow better product pick locations and opportunity for business expansion.
Solution
The new pallet racking was installed and allowed Palfinger to transfer product from the previous site to the new location. With the transfer of the product, we arranged the dismantling and removal of the pallet racking from the previous site. During a single day we relocated all of their steel shelving to the new site with all product in its’ existing location to ensure their customers’ orders were available to be picked the following day.

“The team at PRS were excellent from start to finish in all aspects of product quality, installation ability and communication. Their relocation of our small parts shelving in its’ existing form was a solution we had not considered but worked exceptionally well.”
Howard Hodge. Parts and Warehouse Manager – Palfinger New Zealand
Palfinger New Zealand needed a complete warehouse storage upgrade that included new pallet racking, cantilever racking and the relocation of their existing steel shelving from their former site. Pallet Racking Solutions managed the entire project end-to-end — dismantling, transporting and reinstalling the shelving, designing a new racking layout, and ensuring all work was completed safely with minimal operational downtime. The entire transition, including shelving relocation and new racking installation, was finished in just one day, allowing Palfinger to resume order picking the next morning. This project delivered a modern, efficient, and compliant storage system tailored to Palfinger’s heavy equipment parts and logistics needs.
