AR Racking, a leader in industrial storage solutions, successfully completes an ambitious project to install a new storage solution for Boughey Distribution at their new warehouse in Newcastle Under Lyme. This project, which has been a showcase of innovation and efficiency, underlines AR Racking’s commitment to excellence in the logistics sector.
The project consisted of the installation of the AR PAL Conventional Pallet Racking system. The implementation was carried out in a new warehouse, designed to optimise space and improve the operational ability of Boughey Distribution, a company dedicated to the logistics of non-refrigerated food products for third parties. The installation was completed in a record 16 weeks, highlighting AR Racking’s ability to meet demanding deadlines without compromising on quality.
‘We are delighted with the outcome of this project. AR Racking has proven to be an invaluable partner, delivering a solution that not only meets, but exceeds our expectations,’ said Danny Earp, Operations Director for Boughey Distribution. This storage system provides 52,000 positions, allowing Boughey Distribution to efficiently manage a large volume of products. The design includes specific features that maximise warehouse functionality, such as an upper level height of 14.7 metres and wide aisles for easy access and maneuverability. In addition, the warehouse operates in ambient conditions and has been equipped with an integrated sprinkler and lighting system, which increases both safety and energy efficiency.
Boughey Distribution, with over six decades of experience in the logistics sector, has entrusted AR Racking to deliver this crucial on-going growth project. Danny Earp and Frank Murphy supervised the development of the project, ensuring that all the client’s expectations and needs were met. On behalf of AR Racking, Mike Smyth led the project, working closely with the engineering team at Boughey and the AR Direct Project team to ensure a successful outcome.
Mike Smyth, project leader for AR Racking, said: ‘The collaboration with Boughey Distribution has been exceptional. We have worked closely to ensure that every detail of the storage system was perfectly matched to their operational needs.’ This project represents a significant milestone for both Boughey Distribution and AR Racking, ushering in a new era of efficiency and operational capability for the Newcastle Under Lyme warehouse. The completion of this facility not only expands Boughey Distribution’s storage capacity, but also significantly improves security and operational efficiency, reinforcing its position as a trusted logistics partner to its customers.
