Proper and efficient use of shelving
is about versatile adaptation to the
environment. If you have something
that can be flexible – as well as robust
– you have the best chance of reacting
quickly to a new challenge or a new
workflow. Meta says that its Meta Quick
product is designed to do just that.
The German supplier, based at
Arnsberg, east of Dortmund, develops,
produces and distributes stationary
and dynamic shelving and racking
systems. Its product range includes
shelving systems, longspan, pallet and
cantilever racking systems, as well as
mobile racks and flow racks, storage
platforms and multi-tier shelving.
Not unnaturally, the company says that
warehouse halls are the ideal location
for its Meta Quick product. The core
product is designed as a two or three-
tier shelving system, but it also offers
a wide range of accessories, enabling
maximum arrangement options for all
kinds of stored goods. In addition to
this, customers benefit from individual
consultation from qualified Meta
specialists.
So just how is META QUICK so
flexible? The company promises that its
systems owe their versatility to plug-
in connections. This special form of
installation makes it easy to construct
shelving systems, and the robust
design ensures maximum stability.
Shelving Simplicity
Conveyor systems and offices can
also be integrated into the design.
The company argues that the reason
logistics centres and dealers all over
the world rely on META QUICK shelving
systems is because these systems can
adapt to shifting requirements without
major effort, saving customers time and
money.
Single-source supply ensures that
everything runs smoothly. META
specialists offer professional advice
and company personnel stay with the
project from planning right through to
completion – they remain available to
customers for questions even beyond
this. This is possible because design,
delivery and installation all come the
Arnsberg base.
META QUICK shelving solutions are
quick to install without the need for
tools. The solid basic structure is
composed of two modules: the frame
and the shelves. These can form
both single shelf rows and complex
systems, enabling users to benefit from
maximum flexibility in their warehouse.
Each shelf within the META QUICK
system can be used to store products
weighing up to 330kg.
The company recognises that the
shelving needs to be appropriate for
many kinds of storage of all shapes
and sizes. The material is Sendzimir
galvanised and therefore resistant
to oils and alkalis. Customers can
therefore be confident of storing
contaminated items without damaging
the shelving. The systems can be
plastic coated in an individual RAL
colour on request. The shelves are GS
certified and quality certified according
to RAL 614/1, offering users maximum
safety.
There is a wide range of accessories
available to customise the META
QUICK shelving: the full-height dividers
arrange the storage products within a
single segment. They can be used as
needed, moved to another position
or taken out altogether. This extra
division enables efficient storage of
piece goods. Locking doors offer
protection for the stored items. These
individual features can be implemented
according to customer requirements.
The key to efficient storage is integration, according to
one industry leader. If it’s that easy, how do they do it?
