Wire Mesh Security Cages: What Are They? 27/06/2024 News Wire mesh security cages serve a variety of functions in warehouses, factories, and other commercial buildings. What are they? Their main role is typically to enhance safety and security. In this blog, we will explore the different types of secure cages and propose several potential uses for them. If you are considering a security cage for your business, give us a call on 0800 612 33210 to discuss your requirements. What Are Wire Mesh Security Cages? Comprised of panels, posts, and doors, our security cages or steel partitions create restricted access areas for quarantined goods, hazardous substances, or high-value items. A well designed system with a strong focus on security. The wire mesh cages consist of steel mesh panels made from 2.8mm wire mesh, available in 50x50mm or 25x25mm mesh apertures. These panels are welded to a 20x20mm box section frame, providing structural rigidity. The panels are then secured to 60x60mm posts using an easy-to-use clip that holds them firmly in place. The three primary uses for security cages are: Security cages for high-value items Aerosol cages (gas bottle security cages) Machinery guarding (steel partitioning around areas with potentially hazardous machinery) Security Cages for High Value Items Unfortunately, theft can be an issue that you or your customers may encounter in warehouse spaces. The most common application for our wire mesh cages is to secure high-value items or assets, such as forklifts. The fully modular system allows for the creation of cages in any required size, offering various door and lock options to meet different security needs. Our lock partner, provides several options ranging from a standard key lock mechanism to digital locks on one side with a quick-release mechanism on the other. Aerosol Cages Aerosol cages, also known as gas bottle security cages, feature smaller aperture panels. These are specifically designed to store pressurised canisters, such as deodorant cans. The smaller mesh aperture helps prevent container fragments from escaping and causing harm in the event of an explosion. These cages are essential for meeting the requirements of most insurance companies when storing pressurised containers. The primary difference between the standard system and our aerosol solution is the mesh aperture. Instead of the regular 50mm x 50mm mesh, we use 25mm x 25mm mesh. This design complies with the RC19 recommendations for the storage of aerosol products. Machinery Guards Machinery in factory spaces clearly presents a potential hazard to anyone with access to the factory. An effective way to prevent accidents and ensure safety is to install mesh partitions around specific machinery or areas that pose a risk. You can further secure these enclosed areas with locking mechanisms, ensuring that only authorised personnel have access. The System At Shelving & Racking, we provide mesh partitions and cages designed as a fully modular system: Panels available in three standard widths (700mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm) and two heights (1100mm and 2200mm), which can be mixed and matched to meet your specific needs. The standard 2200mm high posts come with the necessary fixtures and fittings for panel attachment. Option of both swing and sliding doors, available as single or double doors. Additionally, you can select from a variety of add-ons, including locking options, a post splice kit to increase height, and even the option to add a roof. Of course, our sales team are always on hand to assist with creating your cage. You can send your enquiry by email to sales@racking-ltd.co.uk or call us on 0800 612 3210.

Are Load Notices Required on My Storage Equipment? 04/06/2024 News A question that is often asked is “are load notices required on my storage equipment”. To answer this you first should know what they are and why they are needed. Load notices are signs which tell users how to use and how not to use their shelving or racking systems and specifically how much weight can safely be loaded onto the system. These notices give vital safety information and when clearly displayed and combined with the correct training, give businesses the reassurance that staff are informed about how to safely load their storage systems. In worst case scenarios, over-loaded pallet racking can cause catastrophic and even fatal collapses. Contact us today to order your warehouse load notices on 0800 6123210, our sales team are happy to help! A load notice is normally fixed to the outer structure of the pallet racking (usually the frame or upright at the end of a run). Ensure they are secured with permanent fixings that keep them correctly positioned on the structure, such as screws or plastic ties. Avoid using something that allows easy removal, like clips or magnets. Do I Need Load Notices and How Many Do I Need? SEMA Codes and HSG 76 are guidance documents, not legal requirements. Displaying SEMA load notices on your pallet racking isn’t mandatory by law but it is the industry standard method to show compliance with Health and Safety legislation. Without clear load notices, you risk non-compliance and serious consequences if an accident occurs. There is no specific guidance on the amount of load notices required however signs should be visible and should clearly state which pallet racking they refers to. There is an obligation for the employers to ensure that their employees are covered by PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998). Regulation 4, requires every employer to ensure that work equipment is appropriate for the required operation. Pallet racking is classified as work equipment. It is crucial to health and safety that the pallet racking system installed can support the loads required of it and that these loads are clearly displayed. As an example, if a whole of a block of pallet racking in a single warehouse is serviced through a single door and is all to the same configuration, a single sign on entry might be deemed acceptable as all drivers will see if as they enter the warehouse. However, if every run of pallet racking has a different configuration then you can tackle this in a couple of ways: A different load notice for each configuration. However this would need to be clear which load notice relates to which bays. One load notice that gives an acceptable solution for all configurations in that run. This would need to be based on the worst-case (weakest) configuration of that run. What Information Should Be on a Load Notice? It’s challenging to balance the amount of information on a notice with the likelihood that people will read it. Too little information and important points might be missed; too much, and no one will read it. The load notice aims to balance this. By providing key safety messages and specific information that is easily read by workers during their normal duties. It doesn’t cover every safety detail and doesn’t replace any formal training required. The design of the load notice on the pallet racking should contain, as a general rule the following elements. Safety and prevention warnings, the load capacities, and the contact details of the manufacturer and distributor for the end customer. Signage in accordance with the Safety Signs and Signals regulations. First sign is a warning, ensure regular inspections, correct usage, and check for damage. Second sign is an instruction, report all damage so the rack can be taken out of use if needed. Third sign is a prohibition, do not alter the rack without checking with the supplier first. The fourth sign is also a prohibition, do not climb the equipment, as it is not designed for climbing and could topple. The final notice provides useful information and warns to contact the supplier if unsure about the equipment’s limitations. Brief description, comments of the system (usually includes the manufacturer of the system installed). Maximum load per beam level (UDL). Height from the floor to the top of the first beam level. Height from the top of first beam to the top of the next level. Maximum bay load, including all levels. Space for supplier information of the storage system. What should I do if my pallet racking doesn’t currently have a load notice? The load capacity of pallet racking systems varies significantly. Factors like steel grade and thickness, configuration (number of beams per bay, height to the first beam, beam pitch, number of bays in a run), and floor fixing type all influence the maximum load capacity. Therefore, you would need to consult the company that the pallet racking was purchased from. If you do not know where the pallet racking was purchased from you could either get in touch with the manufacturer or consult a trained professional to ensure the information is accurate. In summary, to answer the question are load notices required on my storage equipment? Simply the answer is yes, if you are to adhere to the legislation set by SEMA, HSE and PUWER.

VNA Pallet Racking: Maximising Your Warehouse Space 29/05/2024 News What is VNA Pallet Racking? VNA pallet racking, or very narrow aisle racking, is great for maximising your warehouse space. By stacking pallets closely together, it’s a system that allows easy access to all pallets while utilising every bit of available space. In warehouses, making every square metre profitable is crucial. VNA pallet racking achieves this by using narrow aisles and stacking pallets high. Call us to discuss your requirements on 0800 612 3210 or send us an enquiry. VNA pallet racking stands out as one of our best options for making the most of space when storing pallets. Its narrow aisles allow more pallets per m2 compared to standard pallet racking. Very narrow aisles push this efficiency to an even greater extent. See the typical aisle widths for pallet racking below. Standard or wide aisle pallet racking:• Aisle width – 3.5m to 4m• FLT – Counterbalance truck• Can be as narrow as 2.5m for access via reach truck Narrow aisle pallet racking:• Aisle width – 1.8m to 2.3m• FLT – Specialist narrow aisle truck VNA pallet racking:• Aisle width – 1.5m to 1.6m• FLT – Rail or wire-guided VNA truck Why Use VNA Pallet Racking? VNA pallet racking achieves an average of 55% space utilisation. This means an average of 55% warehouse space used for storage and 45% for aisles. In contrast, standard (wide aisle) pallet racking achieves 40% space utilisation, while narrow aisle pallet racking achieves 50%. Although a 5% increase in space utilisation may appear small, the impact becomes clear when you crunch the numbers. A 5% expansion in pallet space translates to a notable revenue boost. For larger warehouse operations, this increase is significant. How Safe is VNA Pallet Racking? VNA pallet racking is typically higher than standard APR, enabling loading and unloading from significant heights. What’s more, the specialised trucks used with VNA pallet racking are very efficient and designed for safe operation at these heights. Various options are available for VNA pallet racking trucks. Including a man-up truck, which allows the operator to ride with the pallet to the top, improving visibility. In addition, backstops can be installed to prevent pallets from accidentally being pushed off the rear racks and anti-collapse mesh can be added to secure the goods on the pallets. Rail Guided VNA Pallet Racking In this system, forklifts need rollers as guides on their sides. Metal rails are then installed along the sides of the working aisle to guide the truck along it. Therefore, ensuring it stays on a straight course. The guide rails can be high or low depending on the storage needs of the first level of the pallet racking. Wire Guided VNA Pallet Racking The inductive or wire-guided system uses sensors and a cable circuit under the floor to guide the forklift. This cable or wire under the floor generates a small electromagnetic field that connects to the sensors built into the forklifts ensuring that the forklift stays on the designated circuit without any lateral deviations This system ensures maximum safety and automates forklift movements in the aisle. Install the wire circuit after setting up the VNA pallet racking. Do I need a P&Ds for my VNA Pallet Racking? VNA pallet racking trucks are highly efficient within the racking system but slow down when moving pallets outside this area, such as to an external doorway. For these tasks, a counterbalance truck is faster, but it can’t place pallets into the VNA system. The common solution is to use pick and deposit stations (P&Ds), located at the entrance of the VNA pallet racking. The counterbalance truck drops pallets at the P&Ds, and the VNA truck then picks them up to store them. There are two types of P&Ds: castellated, where every other racking row is extended for better access, and cantilevered, placed at the end of each row, allowing both trucks to work efficiently in a two-directional motion. When deciding between cantilever and castellated P&Ds, consider the pattern in which pallets are picked and transported during delivery. Since pallets are not equal on all sides, they need to be correctly angled on the P&Ds to align with the non-turning guided VNA truck. Narrow aisle racking bays are typically 1100mm wide, suitable for both UK and EU pallets without decking. However, UK pallets measure 1200mm x 1000mm, and EU pallets measure 1200mm x 800mm, so the 1200mm side should always rest on the 1100mm beams when placing them onto the pallet racking. Advantages of VNA Pallet Racking Effective Space Utilisation – maximising both floor and vertical space can significantly increase storage capacity, potentially by up to 50% or more for some businesses. Increased Productivity – using faster specialised trucks, VNA pallet racking ensures that the picking and loading process is both safe and efficient. Stock is easy to find with 100% direct access, even at heights, using the specialised trucks. Increased Safety – advanced handling features on narrow aisle trucks, including “man-up” capabilities, enhance the safety of load handling for your staff. Reduced Damage – guiding the forklifts down the aisle without manual steering greatly reduces the risk of pallet racking damage, minimising the chance of collapses. Disadvantages of VNA Pallet Racking Lower Flexibility – all pallets need to be the same size to get the most from the VNA pallet racking. Requirement for Specialised Equipment – a narrow aisle trucks is necessary to allow for manoeuvring between the narrow aisles. These specialised trucks are not functional outside of the working aisles. Fitting of Guide Rails or Wire – a guidance system at floor level is necessary to ensure the precise positioning of the forklift trucks. The main downside is that VNA pallet racking requires installation on a perfectly flat concrete floor. It is essential that the warehouse floor meets the required specifications including a super flat surface. VNA pallet racking is normally higher than standard pallet racking, with an uneven floor the trucks can tilt and knock the pallet racking at height which is highly dangerous. If you have weighed up the pros and cons and would like to find out more about VNA pallet racking for your business, you can contact our sales team on 0800 612 3210 to discuss your requirements.
Warehouse Labelling – The Correct Way 22/05/2024 News Whether you’re overseeing a small warehouse or a large distribution centre, maintaining an organised and well-labelled environment is essential for streamlined operations. An effective labelling system can enhance accuracy, efficiency, safety, and customer satisfaction. If you’re in the process of setting up or looking to improve your existing system get in touch with our sales team on 0800 612 3210 or send us an enquiry Continue reading this guide to understand the significance of warehouse labelling the correct way and how we can help you implement it in your business. Warehouse Labelling Systems What is a Warehouse Labelling System? Using a good warehouse labelling system can help your business in many ways. A warehouse labelling system involves the process of marking and identifying storage locations and products within a warehouse or distribution centre. Labels can be placed on floors, pallet racking, shelves, bins, and even individual products or pallets to clearly indicate their location and contents. Why do I need a Warehouse Labelling System? A well-designed warehouse labelling system is crucial for helping employees quickly and easily find products and materials. This boosts efficiency and productivity while reducing errors and accidents from misplaced or mishandled items. Additionally, an effective labelling system helps businesses optimise space, reduce clutter, and improve organisation. What are the types of Warehouse Labelling Systems? There are various types of warehouse labelling available, including: Pallet racking labels identify individual shelves or bays. They are usually made of polyester, paper, or vinyl and are often placed in label holders to protect them from wear and tear. These labels attach to pallet racking using magnets or adhesive. Aisle and bay markers identify large sections of the warehouse. These labels, which can be attached to the floor, ceiling or directly onto pallet racking, often use numbers, letters, or colour codes. Floor marking tape can also be used a cost effective way to mark out areas. Floor labels mark aisles, walkways, and traffic lanes in the warehouse. Made of durable materials like vinyl or polyester, they often feature arrows, numbers, or symbols to guide traffic. Floor labels can also be as simple as floor marking tape to mark out pedestrian areas of a warehouse. Pallet labels identify individual pallets and their contents. These labels may include information like the product name, SKU, lot number, and expiration date. Regardless of the type of warehouse labelling system you use, the goal is to enable employees to quickly and accurately find products and materials. Choosing the Correct Warehouse Labelling System for Your Business Assess Your Needs Before choosing warehouse labels, consider your specific needs by asking yourself: What products or materials do we store? How much space do we have? How often do we move inventory? What kind of traffic flow is needed? What level of security is necessary? Understanding these factors will help you select the right labels for your business and ensure that you are labelling your warehouse in the correct way. Assess Materials and Durability When choosing warehouse labels, think about the materials and durability. Labels in harsh environments or frequent handling may need durable materials like polyester. For less demanding environments, cheaper materials like paper or vinyl may work. What type of fixing do you need? Consider the fixing method for your warehouse labels. Self-adhesive labels are permanent, while magnetic labels can be easily removed or repositioned as needed. Consider Size and Visibility Labels that are too small can be hard to read and may lack information, while labels that are too large can take up too much space. Place labels in visible locations so employees can quickly find the information they need. Customisation Finally, think about whether you need custom labels with your company logo, branding, or specific product details. Custom labels can boost brand recognition and help employees easily identify products or materials. By assessing these factors and choosing the right warehouse labels, you can make your labelling system effective and efficient. Setting Up a Warehouse Labelling System Setting up a warehouse labeling system can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Follow these steps for a successful implementation: Planning Before labelling your warehouse, plan your layout. Consider the size and shape of your space, the type of products you store, and the traffic flow. This will help you choose the best locations and types of labels. Selecting Your Labels Once you’ve planned your layout, select your labels. Think about factors already outlined like material, durability, fixing method, size, visibility, and customisation. Create a Labelling Plan After selecting your labels, create a labelling plan. Decide what information each label will contain, like product details, location, and safety info. Plan where to place each label and ensure consistency across your warehouse. Train Your Employees Training your employees on the new labelling system is vital. Ensure everyone understands the plan and how to read and interpret the labels. This boosts efficiency and accuracy in your warehouse. Assess, Maintain and Update Lastly, regularly assess, maintain, and update your labelling system. This helps identify areas for improvement and ensures it meets your needs. By following these steps, you can establish a successful warehouse labelling system that boosts efficiency and productivity in your business. In summary, a warehouse labelling system is essential for an efficient and well-organised warehouse or distribution centre. Tailoring a labelling system to your needs can enhance efficiency, safety, and space optimisation. Consider factors like material, durability, fixing method, size, visibility, and customisation when choosing warehouse labels. Making informed decisions ensures an effective and efficient labelling system for your business. At Shelving & Racking, we provide a variety of warehouse labels to meet your needs. From location markers to pallet rack labels, our products are designed to streamline operations and help you achieve your goals. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
Are Locking Pins Needed on Pallet Racking? 16/05/2024 News When setting up pallet racking systems, customers often ask about the purpose of the ‘clips’ or ‘pins’ that join the connector on the beam to the front face of the upright frame. The primary function of the locking pin (or beam lock) is to prevent accidental movement of pallet racking beams by the forklift truck. Locking pins are small but essential components that secure your beams, preventing unintended disassembly and improving safety. Let’s delve into why locking pins are so important. The locking pin is a small yet strong device that locks the pallet racking beams in position. These locking pins are designed to meet industry standards set by organisations like the Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA). They are specifically designed to prevent the beam from dislodging when knocked from underneath, but also to break in the event of a more serious impact when an excessive amount of pressure is applied. This can result in limiting the damage of a localised accident to a few pallets rather than a more serious full pallet racking collapse. We often see nuts and bolts being used as an alternative (or in addition) to the beam locks supplied by the manufacturer. These should never be used as they are not designed to break under the same pressure. This could result in the collapse of your whole pallet racking run. If the beam does not dislodge the result will be to destroy the upright in the area of the beam connector which can result in a whole upright buckling and collapsing which in turn results in all the beams in that bay falling and rotating against the next upright down the aisle causing this to also collapse and so on. The ultimate result could be a chain reaction collapse along a full run of racking which can be catastrophic and very costly to replace. When you purchase new or used pallet racking beams with Shelving & Racking we always include beam locks free of charge and we always hold stock of beam locks for all major pallet racking systems available for quick dispatch! To summarise, the use of locking pins is a fundamental aspect of warehouse safety and racking stability. While their small size might make them easy to overlook, they play a crucial role in keeping the integrity of your storage systems. Locking pins are an indispensable component in the safety and effectiveness of your warehouse pallet racking. Contact us today to order yours on 0800 612 3210.
