Efficient storage for awkward shaped goods

We can integrate silencer racks, exhaust pipe racks, windscreen racks, small parts storage, brake, shock absorber and tyre shelving into cost efficient systems. Our client base includes projects undertaken for some of the major automotive manufacturers, dealer groups, motor-factors and tyre distributors in Europe.

Because of the variation of shapes, sizes and weights of parts stored (from light bulbs to batteries, and gaskets to body-panels) you need to make the most of your space, especially when safe storage of awkward items is important.
