The UK’s Largest Three-tier Cantilevered Hanging and Box Storage System

Works: Mezzanine Floor, Office Fit Out, Racking (Including 3 Tier)

Location: Sutton in Ashfield

Site Size: 77,000Sq Ft

Project Value: £1.5m

Our client approached and engaged with us in regards to a requiring a complete turnkey fit-out as part of their relocation from Forest Town, Mansfield to a significantly larger facility at Castlewood Business Park in Sutton-in-Ashfield. The new facility spans an impressive 77,000 square feet, enabling a substantial expansion of their operations.

Our fit out was incorporated into both the warehouse and newly constructed office areas, each bespoke to meet the client’s immediate requirements whilst accommodating future growth.

The main objective for the warehouse was to maximise the buildings cubic capacity while being mindful of the headroom height of 12m, both to meet their current requirements and allowing future expansion. Our implemented solution not only meets the current requirements of the business but also supports long-term scalability.

The UK’s Largest Three-tier Cantilevered Hanging and Box Storage System

One of the projects highlights was the design, supply and installation of the UK’s largest three-tier cantilevered hanging and box storage system, spanning 13,500 square feet. This unique storage solution, manufactured by Metalisistem in Italy, used over 120 tons of steel and provides space for over one million Stock Keeping Units (SKUs).

Additionally, we integrated a three-tier belt conveyor system, adding flexibility and efficiency across all shelving levels for seamless access regardless of floor level.

To further optimise the storage capacity of the warehouse space, a 2 tier shelving system was also installed, allowing for additional storage options while leaving room for upgrades in the future.

Storage Mezzanine Floor Design and Build

A large mezzanine floor was installed within the warehouse to host additional handpick shelving solutions, including a conveyor from the ground to the mezzanine level to provide quick and easy transport of garments and storage units.

The underside of the mezzanine supports suspended electrical sockets to allow employees the utilisation of machines withint disturbing the warehouse slabs.

Additional Warehouse Works

Dedicated embroidery rooms have been built within the warehouse using industrial double skin and partical board partitions, including easy hand pick access storage of garments on the ground level. The interior workspace benefits from newly installed power and data throughout, allowing for the flexable placement of embroidery machines througbout the workspace.

High bay LED warehouse lighting and site wide emergency lighting was introduced to the space, to both provide quality lighting to space and providing clear pathways in case of an emergency.

Our approach led to a 35% improvement in picking speed and accuracy, thanks to strategic design details developed in close collaboration with the client.

Warehouse Office Space

In the newly created office areas, we installed frameless glass partitions to create a modern, open aesthetic while allowing the natural spread of light into newly created meeting spaces. A new canteen (tea-point) and staff room facility were built to provide employees with a comfortable, well-equipped break area removed from the workspace, while modern new washroom facilities were constructed to improve convenience.

All areas were supplied with high-quality, durable office furniture to create a professional and comfortable working environment, while acoustic panels helps minimise noise levels from both the warehouse and office spaces.

For flooring, we installed a combination of durable vinyl sheet, Luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and carpet, each chosen for their suitability within different functional areas alongside their ease of maintenance.

AC and Mechanical Works

To ensure a comfortable work environment, we installed new air conditioning and fresh air ventilation systems, paired with energy efficient LED lighting integrated into the suspended ceilings, enhancing light quality while reducing energy consumption.

The electrical setup was upgraded with new mains distribution boards alongside a complete overhaul of the general power systems to meet the on-going and future expansion plans.
