When multi-million pound Portsmouth based internet sports equipment company, Wiggle, needed additional storage capacity to cater for its ever-expanding order book, it turned to Southampton based Spaceway. Won against stiff competition against other companies, Wiggle had previously worked with Spaceway and knew its reputation for innovative designs, fast response times and attention to detail.

To kick off the project, Spaceway’s design team set about creating an innovative design that would enable it to provide both storage and a picking area. The design, based on using a Linpac pallet racking system, enables Wiggle to store around 500 pallets with forklift access and in addition accommodates a pedestrian picking area above. Pallets are stored on beam levels up to a height of six metres with the end frames rising to over eight metres. Walkways have been installed at six metres high with lighting underneath so that a forklift truck can operate safely. Spaceway has also decked out the beam levels for the storage of large boxes, which can be hand picked and accessed easily and quickly at any time.
