Barpro Storage SA was approached by Two Oceans Commercial Cold Store, situated in Bellville, Cape Town, to provide storage solutions for a cold room of approximately 2800 m². Barpro suggested a layout consisting of 21 STORAX mobile racks accommodating 6678 x 1-ton pallets with a height of 1.6m. An additional 1313 pallets on the static racking was also provided.
The freezer store can comfortably fit over 8000 pallets. Barpro’s mobile racking includes “cascade” functionality allowing entire banks of several racks to move simultaneously. Operators cannot only retrieve pallets quicker and with great ease but also operate in three different banks of racking at the same time. Despite a congested site, Barpro’s team completed the installation within a very tight program.
