When it came to developing a storage solution which could not only maximise capacity in the available area but could also offer the flexibility to store a range of products from IBCs to packaging to finished goods, the client was obviously looking for a solution that was, well, ingenious.

With its extensive knowledge of the food and drink sector, Thistle Systems was appointed to work closely with the client and explored the possible options before developing an approach that delivered exactly what was required.

Thistle designed a high density storage solution featuring a customised version of its Maxi Cube Push Back Racking which provided the flexibility to store IBCs below and pallets above. Bunds were also installed underneath the racking to comply with the strict health and safety requirements for IBC storage.

This solution provided the storage capacity for 24 IBCs plus an additional 24 pallets in just 18.9 square metres, storing them 4 deep, 4 high and 3 wide.
