Nanjing Peter Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd.

Client Background: Established in 2008, Greenfield Logistics Ltd is a well-known third-party logistics provider settled in Manchester Trafford Park, UK, specializing in FMCG stock storage, e-commerce order picking and nationwide distribution for UK local supermarket chains and online retail brands. By early 2025, the firm faced severe warehouse space shortage: their 3,200㎡ single-story warehouse reached full stock saturation, daily inbound pallet cargo kept rising with peak holiday season coming, while factory reconstruction and new warehouse leasing would cost over 35% extra annual operating expense and need 3–5 months vacant period, which could not match their fast-growing order volume. After comparing multiple domestic UK racking suppliers, Greenfield chose our company to customize full-set rack-supported steel mezzanine platform solution for vertical space upgrading. Project Design & Core Technical Parameters: We completed on-site survey, structural calculation and UK building regulation compliance design within 7 working days in accordance with UK Part B fire safety standard and local industrial storage load specification. The whole mezzanine covers total usable area of 1,420㎡, single-layer platform height set at 3.65m, rated uniform floor load capacity 500kg per square meter for daily carton picking and pallet temporary storage. The platform adopts rack-supported integrated structure, using standard bolted selective pallet rack uprights plus welded step beams (your core hot-selling welded step beam products) as main load-bearing frame instead of independent heavy steel columns, which greatly saves ground aisle space and reserves full forklift access on ground floor. Ground floor is equipped with standard selective pallet racking for bulk palletized finished goods storage; upper mezzanine floor lays anti-slip high-density particle board decking, matched with 1100mm-height yellow powder-coated safety guardrails, two sets of dual-flight industrial anti-slip steel staircases and 2 automatic safety pallet drop gates for forklift pallet loading/unloading from ground to upper floor. All steel components go through pickling, phosphating and electrostatic epoxy powder coating to resist UK humid industrial warehouse corrosion, fully pass UK local third-party load test and fire rating inspection before delivery. Production, Shipment & On-site Installation: All structural steel frames, uprights, welded step beams, platform deck accessories were finished production within 22 working days at our factory, loaded into 4×40HQ containers and shipped to Liverpool Port then inland trucked to Manchester warehouse smoothly. Our professional overseas installation team arrived on-site, split construction into 3 phases to avoid full warehouse shutdown and stop client’s normal daily warehousing operation; total on-site assembly and installation took only 18 calendar days and finished ahead of pre-agreed delivery deadline. Post-installation Operational Benefits & Client Feedback: After official acceptance, Greenfield Logistics gained an extra 1,420㎡ usable storage area without expanding original warehouse building or changing factory exterior structure, effectively lifting overall warehouse storage capacity by nearly 52%. Ground floor bulk pallet storage plus upper mezzanine small-batch SKU picking layout optimized internal material circulation route, average daily order picking efficiency improved by around 38%, annual warehouse rent and factory expansion cost saved more than £78,000. In mid-year follow-up email, the client commented our mezzanine solution cost-effective, stable load performance and full compliance with UK industrial safety codes, and signed a repeat order of 960㎡ secondary small mezzanine expansion project for their Leeds branch warehouse in the third quarter of 2025, also introducing 3 local UK logistics partners to consult our steel platform and pallet racking solutions. This mature UK installation case has become our typical European mezzanine rack reference project for new customer development.

1. Project Overview & Client Background This complete practical case study focuses on a successful warehouse upgrading project implemented by Nanjing Peter Storage Equipment, a professional storage racking manufacturer with over 10 years of production and export experience, for a large-scale textile manufacturing enterprise based in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Faisalabad is known as the “Textile Capital of Pakistan”, hosting countless spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing factories, and undertaking most of the country’s textile export business. The client is a local leading integrated textile enterprise, mainly engaged in the production, processing and export of various textiles, including cotton fabric, polyester fabric, blended fabric, yarn rolls and finished textile rolls. Its products are exported to Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions, with stable and large annual export volume. The client owns a professional textile raw material warehouse covering 5200 square meters, specially used for storing various bulk fabric rolls and yarn materials. Textile fabrics are soft, high-value, moisture-sensitive and scratch-prone materials, which require dry storage environment, flat placement, anti-extrusion protection and classified batch management. With the continuous expansion of the client’s production and export business in recent years, the inventory of various fabrics has increased year by year. The original traditional fixed selective racking can no longer meet the growing storage demand, resulting in insufficient warehouse space, disorderly fabric placement, low access efficiency and frequent material waste. To solve these bottlenecks and upgrade the warehouse storage system, the client finally chose our customized motorized mobile racking system to realize high-density, standardized and intelligent storage of textile fabrics. 2. Traditional Warehouse Storage Challenges & Pain Points Before the renovation, the client’s warehouse adopted conventional fixed pallet racking with independent operation aisles reserved between each group of racks. Combined with the storage characteristics of textile fabric rolls and the local industrial environment of Pakistan, the traditional storage mode exposed many unavoidable problems, which seriously restricted the enterprise’s production and warehousing efficiency. First, serious waste of warehouse space and insufficient storage capacity. Fixed racking requires a large number of fixed forklift operation aisles, which occupy more than 45% of the total warehouse area. Most of the warehouse space cannot be effectively utilized. Textile fabric rolls are bulky and diverse in specifications, resulting in limited single-layer storage volume. With the continuous increase of fabric orders, the original warehouse capacity was severely insufficient. The client had to stack part of the fabrics on the ground or rent additional small warehouses, which not only increased extra rental and handling costs, but also caused scattered inventory and difficult unified management. Second, easy damage and moisture deterioration of high-value fabrics. Fabrics stacked on the ground were prone to extrusion deformation, surface friction and yarn loosening. Pakistan has a humid and hot seasonal climate, and ground stacking makes fabrics directly affected by ground moisture, leading to mildew, color difference and damp damage. In addition, the disorderly placement of different types of fabrics caused frequent scratching and pollution during manual handling and picking, resulting in economic losses and affecting the quality of finished textile products for export. Third, low picking efficiency and chaotic inventory management. The traditional fixed racking layout was scattered, with mixed placement of different specifications, colors and batch fabrics. Warehouse staff needed to spend a lot of time searching and sorting materials every day. The manual picking error rate was high, and the overall material access efficiency was low. It was impossible to realize accurate batch management of incoming and outgoing fabrics, which could not match the client’s fast-paced production and export delivery cycle. Fourth, high labor cost and low warehouse utilization flexibility. The fixed racking structure cannot be adjusted according to inventory changes. During the peak production season, the warehouse was extremely crowded, while the off-season had redundant idle space. The long-term manual sorting and handling increased labor input, resulting in high comprehensive warehousing costs and poor overall operational flexibility. 3. Customized Motorized Mobile Racking Solution for Textile Storage According to the client’s warehouse size, fabric storage characteristics, local climate conditions and actual operational pain points, our professional engineering team designed acustomized heavy-duty motorized mobile racking system specially suitable for textile fabric roll storage. Different from ordinary fixed racks, the electric mobile racking cancels multiple fixed redundant aisles. All rack groups are installed on electric mobile base rails, which can automatically move left and right through the motor drive system. Only one working aisle is reserved according to operational needs, which greatly improves the warehouse space utilization and fully adapts to the high-density storage demand of textile fabrics. The whole set of racking is made of high-quality Q235 national standard steel, with automatic robotic welding technology and high-standard electrostatic anti-rust and anti-corrosion spraying surface treatment. It has strong compression resistance, deformation resistance, moisture-proof and dust-proof performance, which can well adapt to the hot and humid storage environment in Pakistan and effectively protect high-value textile fabrics from moisture and damage. The bottom is equipped with silent mobile tracks and stable motor drive devices, with stable operation, low noise and strong load-bearing capacity. The core design parameters of the project are as follows: The overall racking height is 6.8 meters, with 4 storage layers, equipped with 8 sets of independent electric mobile racking units. The system reserves only one adjustable working aisle, reducing redundant aisle space by more than 60%. It supports electric one-key movement and remote control operation, with a total of 3200 standard storage positions, fully meeting the client’s large-scale fabric roll storage demand. The beam spacing is flexibly customized according to the diameter and length of common fabric rolls, avoiding extrusion and friction between fabrics. At the same time, we added anti-collision induction devices and emergency stop buttons for each mobile unit to ensure 100% safety during equipment operation. In terms of functional design, this mobile racking system supports classified storage of different fabrics. Cotton fabrics, polyester fabrics, blended fabrics and yarn rolls are placed in different areas, realizing standardized classification management. The electric mobile operation mode can flexibly open the corresponding operation aisle according to the picking and warehousing requirements, which is convenient for forklift and manual access, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of material handling. 4. Project Production & On-Site Implementation After the design scheme was confirmed by the client, our factory started standardized production in strict accordance with international storage equipment standards and Pakistani local safety specifications. All steel materials underwent strict raw material inspection, welding quality inspection and surface treatment testing to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment. The motor drive system adopts high-quality industrial dedicated motors, with stable power, long service life and low failure rate, adapting to long-term high-frequency operation. All equipment production and factory inspection were completed within 40 working days. After passing the quality test, the goods were packed in export-standard wooden cases and shipped to Karachi Port, Pakistan. With the cooperation of our long-term cooperative local agent, we completed customs clearance, transportation and warehouse entry efficiently and smoothly. Subsequently, our professional installation team rushed to the client’s warehouse for on-site assembly, track laying, equipment debugging and safety testing. During the installation and commissioning stage, we completed the fixed laying of the bottom track, the overall assembly of the rack body, the wiring debugging of the motor system and the induction test of safety protection devices. After the installation was completed, we conducted multiple full-load operation tests, mobile sensitivity tests and safety emergency stop tests to ensure that all equipment operates stably and meets the design standards. In addition, we provided free professional training for the client’s warehouse managers and operators, including equipment operation specifications, daily maintenance methods, fault judgment and processing, and fabric storage management skills, to ensure that the client’s team can proficiently use and maintain the new system. 5. Post-Project Operation Effects & Core Improvements After the official operation of the motorized mobile racking system, the client’s textile warehouse has achieved comprehensive upgrading in storage capacity, material protection, operational efficiency and cost control, and all traditional storage pain points have been completely solved. First, the warehouse space utilization rate has been greatly improved. By canceling multiple fixed aisles and adopting flexible mobile operation, the warehouse space utilization rate has increased by more than 65%, and the total fabric storage capacity has nearly doubled. It fully meets the client’s peak inventory storage demand, completely eliminates the need for external warehouse leasing, and saves a large amount of annual rental, transportation and management costs for the enterprise. Second, the fabric damage and deterioration rate is effectively controlled. The standardized layered storage avoids fabric extrusion and friction damage. The dry and tidy storage environment matched with the moisture-proof performance of the racking equipment completely solves the problems of mildew and damp damage of fabrics caused by ground stacking. The client’s fabric damage rate has dropped from the original 7% to less than 1%, effectively protecting high-value textile raw materials and ensuring the quality of export products. Third, the warehouse operation efficiency is significantly improved. The electric one-key mobile design realizes fast switching of operation aisles, and the classified storage mode makes fabric picking and warehousing more accurate and efficient. The material search time is shortened by 70%, the overall access efficiency is increased by more than 60%, and the manual picking error rate is almost zero, which greatly matches the client’s efficient production and export delivery rhythm. Fourth, the warehouse management is standardized and safer. The intelligent mobile racking system realizes unified classification and batch management of all textile fabrics, with clear inventory and real-time controllable quantity. Equipped with perfect anti-collision and emergency stop safety devices, the equipment operation risk is extremely low, eliminating safety hazards such as rack collision and material collapse in traditional warehouses. The standardized operation also reduces labor investment and reduces long-term warehousing management costs. 6.

The case study focuses on FreshPro Australia Pty Ltd, a leading mid-sized food distributor headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria, with over 15 years of experience supplying ambient, chilled, and frozen food products to supermarkets, convenience stores, and food service providers across Australia’s eastern seaboard. The company manages a diverse inventory including packaged dry goods, dairy products, fresh produce, frozen meats, and ready-to-eat meals, serving more than 300 retail and hospitality clients daily. Prior to 2022, FreshPro operated out of a 6,200 m² conventional warehouse in Brisbane, Queensland, equipped with standard selective pallet racking and limited cold storage zones. As the Australian food retail sector expanded—driven by post-pandemic demand for consistent food supply, growth in online grocery shopping, and stricter food safety regulations—the company faced critical operational bottlenecks that threatened its ability to scale. The existing warehouse suffered from severe space constraints, inefficient inventory rotation, high labor costs, and inconsistent temperature control, which directly impacted product quality, order fulfillment speed, and profit margins. Core Challenges Before Implementation Insufficient Storage Density & Wasted Space Traditional selective pallet racking required wide forklift aisles (3.5–4 meters) and only utilized 35–40% of the warehouse’s vertical and floor space. With inventory volumes growing by 28% year-over-year, FreshPro was forced to rent additional off-site storage, incurring AUD 120,000 annually in extra rental and transportation costs. The fragmented storage layout also led to 15–20 minutes of forklift travel time per pallet movement, drastically reducing operational efficiency. Non-Compliant Inventory Rotation (FIFO Failure) The food industry demands strict First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory management to minimize food waste and comply with Australia’s Food Safety Standards (FSANZ). Manual operations and disorganized racking made FIFO enforcement nearly impossible: 8–10% of perishable goods (e.g., dairy, fresh produce) expired before distribution, costing FreshPro approximately AUD 85,000 annually in write-offs. Additionally, 3–5% of orders were shipped with expired or near-expiry products, leading to client complaints and potential regulatory penalties. High Labor Costs & Safety Risks The warehouse relied on 12 full-time forklift operators and 8 pickers for daily operations. Forklifts entering deep storage aisles increased the risk of collisions with racking, pallets, or personnel—resulting in 3–4 minor workplace accidents per year and rising insurance premiums. Manual pallet handling (average weight 25–30 kg) also led to repetitive strain injuries, with 2–3 workers taking medical leave annually, further disrupting operations and increasing labor costs. Inefficient Cold Storage & High Energy Consumption FreshPro’s cold storage zones (1°C–4°C for chilled goods, -18°C–22°C for frozen products) used traditional racking, which required frequent forklift entries and exits. This caused thermal leakage—warm air entering the cold zones and cold air escaping—leading to inconsistent temperature control (±2°C) and 30% higher energy bills than industry benchmarks. Inconsistent temperatures compromised product quality, particularly for frozen meats and fresh produce, increasing the risk of spoilage. Lack of Inventory Traceability Manual record-keeping and barcode scanning errors resulted in 7–9% inventory inaccuracy, making it difficult to track product batches, expiration dates, or recall items quickly. This violated FSANZ’s traceability requirements and put FreshPro at risk of non-compliance during food safety audits. Solution Selection: Customized Shuttle Racking System After evaluating multiple storage solutions—including drive-in racking, push-back racking, and automated AS/RS systems—FreshPro partnered with Nanjing Peter Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. (a professional shelving manufacturer with 10+ years of production and export experience) to design and install a customized pallet shuttle racking system tailored to its food storage needs. The solution was selected for its high storage density, semi-automated operation, FIFO compliance, cold storage compatibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to fully automated systems. System Design & Key Specifications The shuttle racking system was installed in a newly built 8,500 m² warehouse in Brisbane, Queensland, completed in late 2022. The design focused on optimizing space, ensuring food safety, and integrating with FreshPro’s existing Warehouse Management System (WMS). Key specifications include: Racking Structure: Heavy-duty steel racking (Q235 grade, compliant with Australian Standard AS 4084) with a height of 10.5 meters, featuring 8 storage levels and 12 narrow aisles (1.6 meters wide) for shuttle cart operation. The system includes 6,800 pallet positions (1,200mm × 1,000mm standard pallets, max load 1,500 kg per pallet). Shuttle Carts: 16 lithium-ion battery-powered shuttle carts (48V LiFePO4 batteries, 8–12 hours of continuous operation per charge) with remote control and WMS integration. The shuttles operate on dedicated steel rails within the racking lanes, enabling automatic pallet storage, retrieval, and horizontal movement. Battery swapping takes less than 60 seconds, ensuring 24/7 operation for peak demand. 物流 穿梭车货架 shuttle cart Temperature Zones: The system is divided into three integrated zones: Ambient zone (15°C–25°C) for dry goods (packaged snacks, grains, canned foods) – 3,200 pallet positions. Chilled zone (1°C–4°C) for dairy, fresh produce, and ready-to-eat meals – 2,100 pallet positions. Frozen zone (-18°C–22°C) for meats, seafood, and frozen vegetables – 1,500 pallet positions.
