The Brief
Following sustained growth across the UK, this national automotive parts wholesaler acquired a new site in Warrington to support increased throughput and faster regional fulfilment. They needed a fully integrated storage system designed to handle both bulk stillages of tyres and high-speed picking zones all within a single cohesive layout.
The Challenge
This was a large-scale, high-stakes installation involving over 750 tonnes of racking, multiple storage formats, and 18 months of planning. The system had to accommodate stillages, longspan shelving, VNA truck navigation via wire guidance, and a complete warehouse labelling strategy. Precision, long-term durability, and operational flexibility were essential from day one.
