Helps reduce lost working hours
Lift Safe Ltd has supplied more than 650 FurniBox systems, which are specifically designed to safely and efficiently store and move furniture and other bulky high value items, to a major fashion and furniture retailer.
Widely used in mainland Europe but relatively new to the UK, using FurniBox saves on labour costs – one man can transport a three piece suite rather than needing six to carry it. Easy to push around on castors, the cage also helps reduce lost working hours due to employee injuries such as back strains.
The system protects furniture in storage and transit, minimising losses from damage. Furthermore, it helps with stock picking accuracy; a customer’s entire order can be picked and stored in FurniBoxes for collection.
Stackable up to three units high, the system allows for optimised use of warehouse floor space, while also reducing spend on wrapping and packaging pallets. It is suitable for block store, high rack store, mixed warehouse and low level warehouse use. If the FurniBox is not required during quiet periods, it can be folded down to just 25 per cent of its original size, making it easy to store.
FurniBox is available in three sizes, all with adjustable racking. Lift Safe also offers a bespoke unit specifically designed to protect upholstered furniture. Accessories include protective foam wraps, label retainers, solid shelves and elastic straps.
