Pallet racking in Llanelli, rated for steel coil, castings and chilled food.

Only if every component comes from the same manufacturer and can be identified. We check frame and beam profiles, connectors and markings, and measure frame depths, usually 900 or 1100mm, and beam lengths, which run from 1500 to 5000mm. That manufacturer's design data then gives load notices for the configuration as built, posted at the end of each run. If a run mixes two or more makes, common in older units on Dafen and around Trostre, it cannot be rated with confidence. We then quote to replace it, typically 4 to 8 weeks from order, changing over a few bays at a time so most positions stay in use.

For coil stored eye horizontal, coil cradles or dedicated coil racking with chocked cradles hold each coil securely and give a clear pick face for a crane or a forklift with a ram. For lighter coil on pallets, heavy duty pallet racking with steel decking or coil support bars can work. We confirm the heaviest coil weight and outside diameter, check your handling equipment and then specify. Lead time for a standard coil cradle installation is usually 4 to 8 weeks from order.

Yes. Many food producers and distributors on Dafen, Glanlliedi and Llanelli Gate prefer inspections during planned shutdowns, deep cleans or weekend downtime, because chill rooms and despatch areas are clear and safe to walk. A SEMA approved inspection of a typical 1,000 to 2,000 pallet position site takes one day, and from junction 48 we are on most of these estates within a few minutes. We follow your hygiene rules for clothing, hair covering and tools, and the written report arrives within about a week so you have it before your next retailer or BRCGS audit.

Our depot at Seven Sisters is about 40 minutes from M4 junction 48, so for a red risk upright in Llanelli we can usually attend the same day or the next morning. The first visit offloads and isolates the damaged bay and confirms the replacement part. Matching components from the same manufacturer are then fitted, often within a few days for common frame and beam sizes. If the frame is an obsolete pattern, we will advise on a replacement section rather than a mismatched part.

It depends on your trucks and pick rate. Counterbalance trucks need aisles of 3.5 to 4.2 metres, reach trucks 2.7 to 3.2 metres, articulated trucks 1.8 to 2.1 metres and guided very narrow aisle trucks 1.6 to 1.9 metres. On a typical Dafen or Llanelli Gate shed, moving from counterbalance to reach trucks can add a whole run of racking. We draw both layouts at survey, count the positions and show what changes in floor space before you commit.

Yes. Many metal processors and machine shops in Llanelli run two or three shifts, so we often install or repair in the gaps: Friday night to Monday morning, or across a planned maintenance week. A new installation of 300 to 500 positions typically needs 3 to 7 working days on site. We agree a phasing plan with your appointed person so each completed area can be signed off and loaded before the next is stripped.

Often, if there is enough clear height. A storage or office mezzanine can roughly double usable floor area in a unit with good headroom, which suits smaller Llanelli businesses that cannot easily move. We check column positions, the slab, fire escape routes and building regulations needs at survey. Mezzanine steelwork is usually installed in 1 to 3 weeks on site, and we can combine it with longspan shelving on the upper deck for spares and boxed stock.
