BHD decided to expand its client’s operations
Queensland Bottlers, a company that makes natural spring water products, had a big problem. They were making more products than their warehouse could hold. The warehouse was 7000 square meters in size. They needed to find another way for storage.
They talked to a company called BHD Storage Solutions for help. BHD had a smart idea to fix the problem without needing a bigger warehouse.
BHD Storage Solutions put in a new system called “shuttle racking.” It used special carts to move things around. They could store 1535 pallets of their products, each 1300mm high. These products were delicate, so they couldn’t stack them on top of each other. This new system used only 570 square meters of space to store all the products. The old way of storing things on the ground could only fit 313 pallets in the same space. So, the new system increased the storage space by 80%.Using this new system turned out to be a smart money decision. If Queensland Bottlers had rented a second warehouse, it would have cost a lot in the long run. But with the shuttle racking system, they made back their money in just 1.8 years. After that, they started making more profit.
This story shows how it’s important to use new and smart ways to store things when a company is growing. The shuttle racking system made the warehouse more efficient and saved them money. They didn’t have to spend on a second warehouse. This shows that making smart choices can help a company grow and make more money.
BHD Storage Solutions is happy to have helped Queensland Bottlers use their space better and succeed in a tough market.
