Christchurch-based warehousing, distribution and international freight forwarding company Sorted Logistics needed an earthquake safe, cost-effective solution to optimise space in a large distribution centre with challenging dimensions.
Scope
From design to consent and installation of a 5,000+ pallet distribution centre in a challenging seismic zone. The layout was specifically designed to maximise usable storage space with a high stud and narrow aisles. Plans were drawn up and adjusted to create the most effective solution.
Challenge
Finding a cost-effective solution to maximise pallet locations in a distribution centre with a high stud and narrow aisles in a challenging seismic zone. Sorted Logistics started with a huge warehouse, then worked with us to see how much racking could fit without compromising operational efficiency. It also had to be delivered to specific time deadlines.
Solution
Key to the success of the project was supplying the highest quality materials to comply with seismic conditions, while remaining cost-effective. John Fenwick took time at the start to propose a range of design options – each offering short, efficient lead times to fit the warehouse build programme. His willingness to fine-tune plans meant that Sorted Logistics received exactly the right pallet racking system and components.
The project was installed on time and on budget. Sorted Logistics now has a sizeable new warehouse that’s perfectly fitted out and configured to serve their storage clients.
Products Used
- Pallet Racking Frames and Beams
- Seismic Bracing
“I recommend Pallet Racking Solutions on a regular basis and will continue to do so.”
Kris Webster, Director, Sorted Logistics
Sorted Logistics, a Christchurch-based 3PL and freight forwarding company, partnered with Pallet Racking Solutions to fit out a new large distribution centre in a challenging seismic zone. The warehouse was designed with high stud ceilings and narrow aisles to optimise pallet density. PRS engineered and installed over 5,000 pallet positions, using pallet racking frames, beams, and seismic bracing that comply with earthquake safety standards. The layout was carefully designed from the ground up — from initial concept through consent and installation — to maximise usable storage while remaining cost-effective. The project was delivered on time and on budget, giving Sorted Logistics a high-capacity, safe, and fully optimised facility for clients.
