Case study I Fruvemex
Advantages for Fruvemex
- Maximum use of space: the three Fruvemex cold storage installations are clad-rack constructed and
occupy only the essential space and volume, reducing the consumption of power needed to keep a
constant temperature.
- Massive capacity: the racking installed in all three cold storage installations, altogether, offers a storage
capacity of 5,728 pallets of 40” x 48” with a maximum weight of 1.1 t each.
- Future growth: the first installation is set up to be extended with a new clad-rack warehouse in anticipation of Fruvemex’s future needs.

Handling equipment
Double-depth pallet racks require specific
lift equipment to handle the goods. In these
warehouses, the reach trucks used incorporate a scissor or pantograph system in the
fork carriage. The mast is fixed and does not
retract, instead the pantograph extends to
reach the second pallet in each location.
