ERF – one of the UK’s premier commercial vehicle parts suppliers.

"The reasons are many but we settled on two vertical carousels for the lighter parts and two Modula S500 units for the heavier items". ( each Modula drawer is capable of taking up to 500Kg with the overall machines maximum load being 60 tons. The Modula range drawer loading goes even higher ). "Weight was important to us when you are talking commercial vehicle components. Plus the fact that we could have the machine accessed from the inside of the building but the machines are outside giving us the much needed space inside."

The Modula units were installed on the outside of the building some 10 metres high, using what was essentially dead space in the yard ( about the size of 3 car parking spaces ) to provide storage and retrieval for those heavier components. The units are clad to provide weather-proofing |
| Having reduced the footprint of the storage from conventional racking this system enabled ERF to increase order fulfilment from a turnaround of one week to daily fulfilment with the addition of two vertical carousels. Add to that the improved stock control, less space, increased efficiency with the same staff means payback is short and because of the increased ability to fulfil clients requirements promptly, this helps to secure ERF’s future. |
