Double-deep Improves Storage Capacity
 The storage facility of bookbinding company Callenbach in the Netherlands had been too cramped for some time. The arrival of another 400 pallets from a new client for which the bookbinder does the ordering only made it worse. A practical solution was needed, as even the plans for a new storage room would not solve the current lack of space. Thanks, in part, to Komatsu, new space has been created.
The existing warehouse has been reconfigured with the help of Komatsu and a warehouse designer. “That was quite a puzzle”, remembers Ab van Plaggenhoef, manager at Callenbach. “The old building is full of steel structures, so there is no room for a compact storage system”. Nevertheless Callenbach’s storage capacity has been doubled to 1500 pallets. The increase has been made possible by using a Komatsu Reachtruck (type AR-FB 16 RW-1R) equipped with KOOI Reachforks. The truck stacks pallets double deep, thereby optimising the use of the available space. Not only are the gangways are less wide than before, but fewer aisles are needed as well.
