The Brief
Magnum Logistics were launching operations at a new distribution facility at London Gateway Port, marking their strategic entry into the 3PL logistics market. After years as a freight forwarder, they required a versatile pallet racking solution capable of supporting a broad mix of client products, pallet types, and handling requirements all within a layout optimised for performance and scalability.
The Challenge
Design a system that could handle a wide range of inbound and outbound stock profiles with the flexibility to adapt as the client base expanded. The racking needed to support both Euro and CHEP pallets, ensure fast forklift access, and allow for efficient reconfiguration as warehousing contracts evolved. Timing was critical, with installation needing to align tightly with the site’s launch schedule.
What We Delivered
- Full design, supply and installation of a wide aisle racking system for over 8,000 pallet positions
- Custom layout built to handle Euro and CHEP pallets within a single configuration
- Rack geometry optimised for high throughput, smooth traffic flow, and rapid picking
- Designed with flexibility and modularity in mind ready to adapt to changing client requirements
- Delivered on a tight programme, aligned with the launch of a new 3PL operation
The Result
Magnum Logistics now operate a future-proofed warehouse racking system designed for multi-client efficiency and fast stock turnaround. With built-in flexibility and full compatibility across pallet types, the system supports their evolution from freight forwarder to full-service 3PL provider with space, access and scalability built in from day one.
