Sticks & Licks Storax Mobile Racking

Santa and Rudolf install Storax mobiles at Sticks and Licks in time for Christmas

Sticks & Licks Storax Mobile Racking – Sticks and Licks, Ballito, KZN installed Storax rails but only fixed selective racking in their new freezer store during the 2014/2015 construction. By 2016 additional capacity was required so an order was placed on Barpro Storage in September for installation by end of November 2016. The six mobile bases had to be installed in the cold while the store was in operation, at the busiest time of year. This increased the store’s pallet capacity by over 50%. The six Storax bases were made in Cape Town, the additional racking sourced from Shelving KZN and the base installation took just more than a week.   Given the time of year, there were inevitable challenges, but the Storax bases were up and running well before Christmas and additional operator training is due for January 2017. The Barpro team consisting of Gavin Coetzee (Santa) and Danie Coetzee (Rudolf) are gaining hard won experience in this specialised work including some useful ways to speed up such installations.   Pictured: Santa and Rudolf deliver a mobile Christmas gift to Dhaya Govender of Sticks and Licks.

Sparta Foods with Storax Mobile Racking

Installation of mobile racking for Sparta Foods in Welkom

Barpro Storage SA has recently completed the installation of mobile racking for Sparta Foods in Welkom, leading suppliers of top quality beef and other frozen products in the Free State. Storage capacity was optimised in both the new freezer and chilled stores, with the use of Storax mobile racking providing for the fully selective accommodation of well over 2000 tonnes of product. Both stores were designed to enhance productivity by accommodating maximum full pallet loads, while still allowing for picking aisles.   Rails were installed to full extent of both rooms ready for increasing storage capacity in the future by the provision of additional mobile bases. Barpro Storage was also involved with the training of Sparta’s staff in the operation of the system, and has supplied Delf freezer wear to keep operators warm and productive while working in this hostile environment. “I am highly satisfied with the professional manner that Barpro handled this whole project. I will surely recommend them for anybody that is in need of such a system.” – General manager Niel Venter Require your very own STORAX mobile racking system?

News Article – Chill Out Distribution

Initially Chill Out Distribution in Ottery, Cape Town, decided to install STORAX rails only together with fixed racking for 359 pallets. As the project progressed storage demand increased and Chill Out decided to install mobile bases to increase the storage capacity to 602 pallets without having to extend the building. While installing the rails in the floor of a new freezer has proved to be a wise decision for a number of our clients; few have had their decision justified so quickly!
