Harlech Foodservice, an expanding Welsh food wholesaler, has fitted their Gwynedd frozen store with Rack Collapse Prevention’s safety system. With a strong reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service Harlech Foodservice supplies a total foodservice solution to the catering industry throughout Wales, the North West and the Midlands.
Harlech Foodservice’s Ian Evans commented: “As Head of Operations at Harlech Foodservice, my primary focus is the safety and well-being of our staff. The recent installation of the Rack Collapse Prevention system in our Gwynedd frozen store is a critical development in our commitment to creating a secure work environment. This state-of-the-art safety system is specifically designed to prevent accidents and ensure that our team can work with confidence, knowing that their safety is our top priority.
“By integrating such advanced safety measures, we not only enhance our operational efficiency but also reaffirm our dedication to the health and safety of every member of our team.”
Warehouse racking can be affected by various factors over time, such as vehicle traffic and pallet handling. And no matter how recently installed, or how long, high or low the racking is, serious operational problems can be created should an impact event take place. Rack Collapse Prevention removes this risk. Installation of the racking safety system also delivers several additional benefits including reduced business insurance as it is regarded as a positive risk factor.
Rack Collapse Prevention’s Managing Director, Craig Attwell, commented: “Our safety system provides a safer working environment for employees whilst safeguarding against potential stock loss and the subsequent business disruption should racking fail.”
It has been proved in real-world racking impact events that by installing the top supporting safety system should a racking leg be damaged under load – which could lead to buckling, making the structure unable to hold its designed load capacity, and the potential for collapse with a chain reaction to nearby racking – Rack Collapse Prevention’s system ensures racking remains upright, eliminating rack collapse risk even if a rack leg has been removed.
