Tesco approached Rack Armour for a solution to their ever increasing racking damage. With over 290 forklifts and lollops operating at one time, damage was an inevitable occurrence, and with the average cost of a racking leg replacement at £400 per upright, effective protection couldn't come soon enough.

"The New Daventry Grocery Depot distributes to all UK stores," explains Simon Harris, project manager at Tesco. "With over 5 million pallet movements each month at this one site, racking damage does occur, which is detrimental to the warehouse operation.

"To help us to reduce and prevent racking damage within our operation, Tesco trialled a number of racking protection options.

"The trial identified that the Rack Armour product was robust and easy to install, as well as a cost effective solution to reduce racking damage.

"We have now had the guards installed on over 6500 uprights for more than a week, and we have already seen a dramatic reduction in racking damage. I would wholeheartedly recommend this product to others looking for a solution that not only works, but is clearly the most cost effective product available." Tesco is another blue chip company to be added to Rack Armour's client list, with the likes of, IKEA, DHL, Mercedes Benz, Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Toyota, Superdrug, Poundland, ASDA, Coca Cola, Nestle and B&Q all having the guards installed.
