Maximising storage capacity
Published: 08 August, 2014
Steel stockholder Abram Pulman and Sons has taken delivery of two more SIDETRACKER multi-directional lift trucks as part of a major investment to increase storage capacity and reduce manual handling at its West Yorkshire premises.
The company aims to provide a one-stop-shop service for engineering steel products.
Apart from steel plate, which has been stored on cantilever racking and handled by a Sidetracker for the last 15 years, stock was previously stored on the floor and moved by a combination of cranes and manual handling. With no space to expand the premises, Abram Pulman says it has increased the amount of stock by installing narrow-aisle cantilever racking and buying two more Sidetrackers to handle it. The steel is stored in stillages with fork pockets, with the trucks designed to match the fork pocket positions.

Storing liquids in tanks is essential for many process industry applications, as is the need to agitate the contents to avoid separation and sedimentation. Fluids can be recirculated through tanks to achieve separation, although the process can be enhanced by the introduction of eductor nozzles.
