Oversailing floor

Chicken & Sons Cyclekit has expanded its storage capacity with the installation of an oversailing floor which uses the full height of its storage and distribution facility in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

Chicken Cyclekit sources and provide goods to serious cyclists in the UK from component suppliers around the world, Following investment in IT and logistics the business has grown, hence the need for increased storage space.

Having installed Chicken Cyclekit's original standard R3000 shelving system, SSI Schaefer was called back in to design and quote for a standard 'traditional' mezzanine floor.

Aaron Thornton, at SSI Schaefer, who suggested the oversailing floor, explains: "Providing a flexible oversailing floor removes the need to invest heavily in a fixed solution that can be limited when adjusting to future business developments or expansion plans." The oversailing floor was welcomed for its adaptable structure and easy dismantling frame and installed with ease onto the existing single level R3000 shelving.
