Background
Based in Manchester, Pace Logistics are specialists in logistics, transport and distribution. The company operates within the UK Pallet Express Delivery Network.
Requirement
Pace required an additional covered area to temporarily store goods for loading and unloading purposes during the busy times of the day. They specifically wanted an area that was separate from the existing warehouse operation to avoid complicating the system already in place. As members of the Pallet Network it was essential the new area kept goods dry and safe as they have a duty of care to look after their own clients' freight and also the freight they are handling for other Network members.
Solution
Aganto provided 2 interlinked canopies 15m wide producing an overall width of 30m. The structures were 15m long on a 6.2m eave height. Micro mesh walls were fixed to the back gable ends to ensure air could move freely through the structure and lighting installed in each unit.
Benefit
Greg Thurston, Managing Director at Pace commented: “It is vital we keep freight dry when loading and unloading as damaged freight will not only incur costs but could lose customers. The canopies supplied by Aganto were an extremely effective solution that met our needs perfectly at a low cost and with minimal disruption. As well as being able to keep the new area separate from our existing warehouse, we are also gaining value from previously un-used site space”.
