Stored on Stakapal - Cantilever Racking

Stakapal supplied a bespoke Cantilever Racking solution for Timbmets new distribution centre in Stanford in the vale, Oxfordshire. Timbmet carry one of the most extensive product ranges in Europe, including certified hard-woods, quality soft-woods, engineered products & innovative designer panels. With a dedicated merchant's team offering ongoing support to the Timber industry, the opening of the company's new state of the art Centre will prove pivotal in helping them to continue serving their customers into the future.


Stakapal has worked in partnership with the company across their numerous sites, developing an in-depth understanding of their storage requirements and how the business operates. 
This particular site (which was originally a World War Two airfield) required extensive building work to be undertaken in order to make the site fit for the company's purposes, part of which encompassed three main dedicated storage areas.


Design and specification of the dedicated Cantilever racks varied to accommodate the multi-functional requirements of the operation, with common column heights of 5.9m for both internal and external racks designed to carry loads of 6000 kgs per column side. Rack profiles included Internal Hardwood Storage & Sheet Material that also applied to an extensive amount of external racks supplied in a hot dipped galvanised finish.
