Racking case studies. Measured before, counted after.

Six projects from workshops, plants and warehouses across South Wales. Each one starts with the numbers: pallet positions before and after, floor area recovered, how long the installation took and what downtime was avoided. Then the reasoning behind every line of the specification.
