Wins the Case for Storage
As one of the UK’s leading business lawyers for all corporate,
commercial and business legal services in the UK and Europe, Eversheds
generates enormous amounts of paper-based documents.
Efficient storage and rapid retrieval of these files and documents
is therefore top of the agenda, to ensure the most time-and-cost-effective
use of both employees time and office space. Couple this with the
requirement for extensive archiving and the whole process becomes
particularly complex.
Based in Bermondsey, the Eversheds London archive holds more than
330,000 folders, containing legal paperwork and other correspondence.
Although there is no need to access all the documents on a daily
basis, the folders must be easily reached, as over two hundred files
must be referred to every day.
Both manual and automatic mobile shelving systems have been installed
by Rackline, specialists in storage solutions, providing high density
storage for different sized archive boxes.
Facilities systems manager, Chris Ledger, said, “The Rackline
system had clear benefits over the others we considered as the bespoke
design meant it could take four boxes of one size and five of another
in each shelf - thus increasing capacity. Because there was more
room between each box, access was easier and Health and Safety requirements
were fully met.”
Multitrak, and the automatic version Powertrak, is designed for
carriages up to 15 metres long and with loads of up to 20 tonnes
per carriage. A powerful guidance and drive system ensures each
carriage remains perfectly aligned on the tracks.
Nick Marchuk, Rackline’s national sales manager, said, “We
have done lots of work for Eversheds, in their offices all over
the country, and it is a testament to the quality and versatility
of our installations that we were invited to tender once again.”
Rackline is the leading manufacturer of mobile storage systems in
Europe with an expanding portfolio of clients and 15,000 installations
in a wide variety of sectors including architects, financial organisations,
legal firms and the public sector.
“The Rackline system had clear benefits over the
others we considered.”
