P.E. O'Brien tools up with Storage Systems.

PE O’Brien & Sons Ltd was established in 1948 and since then has become the largest specialised hand tool distributor in Ireland. Following strong growth the business outgrew its current warehouse and in 2006 moved to a new purpose built facility in Magna Business Park, West Dublin. Storage Systems Ltd was awarded a major contract to provide a complete storage solution for this new facility.

Storage Systems Ltd installed a Three Tier HI-280 Shelving supported mezzanine floor structure 6m high x 25m long x 20m wide providing 400 shelving bays at ground floor level and 400 bays at first floor level. The top floor level was left clear for the storage of bulkier items. The design of each floor level also incorporates 70m² of marshalling area at each end which is serviced by forklift trucks via Up and Over Pallet Gates

In addition over 100 bays Redirack Pallet Racking 10m high was installed for palletised goods. All frames incorporate sacrificial legs enabling damaged frames to be repaired quickly and easily without the need to remove the damaged frame from the rack. The entire contract was completed on time and to the very tight time schedule demanded by the client
