Straight up storage

Aluminium profile building systems company SAPA has recently installed two Modula lifts from Couzens Storage Solutions that will give the scope to consolidate three existing premises into a single facility. The units have been designed to store an estimated 153,000 items in 1258 lines including fixings, seals, handles, brackets and other components for its replacement window and conservatory business. They are being used to hold small and medium parts to support production and customer installations, while longer profiles are stored on cantilever racking. Modula is an advanced, computercontrolled vertical lift storage, picking and retrieval system. Suitable for storing a variety of goods of different dimensions in a single unit, it automatically selects and transports items to and from the operator, delivering improved productivity, faster picking and lower costs.
