Our customer approached us to help them maximise their storage capacity. Currently implementing a 5m pallet racking system in their yard, they were unable to access most of the higher shelf levels which left them unused with much needed additional storage space required.

Optimising storage space in timber yards and warehouses is becoming increasingly important for merchants wanting to find efficiencies in how their businesses are run.

Filstorage has accomplished the complete fit out from design through to installation of John Nicholls’ Building and plumbing Merchants new branch in Towcester.

With a critical shortage of warehouse space in the UK, so much so national media reports have suggested Britain could run out of space entirely within a year, it is no surprise builders’ merchants are struggling to find new sites. Here are our top tips to utilise your space.

According to Paul Taylor, Managing Director of Yorkshire-based racking company Filstorage, builders’ merchants wanting to expand need to look to the heavens.

Filstorage has helped Fielden Factors with their requirement to expand the storage capabilities at their Todmorden branch with the design, supply and installation of a rack supported mezzanine floor in the warehouse and cantilever racking in the yard.

Filstorage has completed the installation of a new run of cantilever racking with a canopy at NMSB’s Builder’s Merchants branch in New Milton, Hampshire.
