Flanagan Fittings Case Study
Flanagan Fittings, a trusted name in the furniture fittings industry for 49 years, specializes in supplying premium drawer systems and kitchen accessories to Irish manufacturers. As demand for their products surged, their existing warehouse struggled to keep pace. They needed a high-density, scalable storage solution to optimize space and streamline operations—so they turned to Storage Systems Limited for expert support.
Flanagan Fittings required a space-maximizing storage system that would enhance efficiency while maintaining ease of access. Our team conducted a comprehensive site survey, analyzing inventory flow, space constraints, and future scalability needs. It was clear they needed a robust, adaptable racking system to support their expanding product range.
Our Solution
To meet Flanagan Fittings’ needs, we installed a Dexion P-90 Pallet Racking System, creating over 1,000 new pallet spaces across their warehouse extension and main warehouse.
✔ 24 Bays of Dexion P-90 Pallet Racking Installed:
- 10,000mm high x 2,700mm wide x 1,100mm deep – Each bay fitted with 6 beam levels
- 11,000mm high x 2,700mm wide x 1,100mm deep – Each bay fitted with 6 beam levels
✔ Safety & Compliance Enhancements:
- Column Guards installed on all front uprights for forklift protection
- 5 S.E.M.A. Load Signs fitted to ensure proper weight distribution and warehouse safety
Overcoming Challenges
One of the main challenges was ensuring that the installation process did not disrupt daily warehouse operations. By implementing a phased installation approach, we kept downtime minimal while seamlessly integrating the new racking system. Additionally, future scalability was a key priority—this system allows for easy expansion as Flanagan Fittings continues to grow.
