Stakapal helps grow timber capacity

When a Southern based Builders Merchant made the decision to focus hard investment into their timber yard, one of their main priorities and considerations was to maximise their storage facility. The company had aquired a three acre site, seven years previously and had successfully retained their customer base and also achieved steady growth by offering a wide range of specialist timber products.

With a diverse stock-offering, ranging from quality European, American and Tropical hardwoods to solid and engineered flooring, the company is an ideal outlet for a multitude of trades. Ensuring the optimisation of space and flexibility within the company timber shed was therefore a key element within the site investment plans.


For a number of years the company have called on the expertise of Stakapal as 'their knowledge of our industry sector is second to none.' Stakapal not only design and manufacture their Cantilever Racking system but also provide an installation service using their own qualified SEIRS registered installers. This is unique in the market place and 'provides the company with peace of mind that Stakapal can manage any size of project from start to finish.' 

In this particular case the company's timber shed had many historical inefficiencies in terms of stock selectivity and presentation which, in turn had  a 'knock-on' effect for customers in relation to speed of service and accessibility. Health and Safety issues, as always, were a top priority and the Stakapal team worked very closely with the companies Branch Manager to finalise an ideal storage solution that not only allowed 100% stock selectivity but also adressed any previous day to day operational issues.

It took Stakapal's qualified fitters three days to complete the installation of Cantilever Racking with double sided column heights of 4.5 constructed of base plus 3 arm levels per column side.

Prior to the installation of the racking Stakapal also advised the company on the construction and dimensional details of the concrete bases that had to be layed prior to fitment of the Cantilever Racking System.
