AR Racking and First Floors Mezzanine have deployed a custom AR PAL Adjustable Pallet Racking system in a new Wolverhampton warehouse for a global chemical and adhesive solutions provider. The installation—part of a 405,000 m² facility—delivers 5,370 pallet positions across 11,500 mm of vertical height, ensuring full selectivity for Euro pallets and ground-floor picking. Completed in seven weeks (including a three-week on-site installation), the project incorporated reused AR Racking beams, mesh decking, rack-end barriers, and upright protectors. Client feedback highlighted exceptional safety focus and on-schedule delivery, while AR Racking’s Project Manager Gonzalo Crovetto underscored the synergy between engineering precision and installation expertise in delivering a future-ready, height-optimised storage solution.
AR Racking, in collaboration with First Floors Mezzanine, has supplied a tailored AR PAL Adjustable Pallet Racking solution for a new warehouse and production facility in Wolverhampton. The project has been developed for a global leader in chemical and adhesive solutions for the construction industry, with the aim of maximising storage capacity while maintaining direct access to every pallet.
Large-Scale Installation with High-Density Capacity
The installation forms part of a large-scale warehouse project covering 405,000 m². With a total capacity of 5,370 pallet positions, the racking system has been designed to make full use of the building height, reaching 11,500 mm, and to provide full selectivity for Euro pallets, including ground-floor picking locations to support agile daily operations.
Accelerated Timeline and Integrated Safety Components
The project was supplied, delivered and installed within seven weeks from the order stage, with a three-week installation programme on site. In addition to the pallet racking structure, First Floors Mezzanine also delivered and installed mesh decking, rack-end barriers and upright protectors, reinforcing safety and security throughout the facility.
Engineering Innovation and Component Reuse
A key feature of the project was the collaboration with AR Racking’s Engineering Team, which developed a specialist solution to reuse previously supplied AR Racking beams within the new configuration. This customised approach allowed the installation to respond to the operational needs of the new facility while making efficient use of existing components.
“What stood out most was the attention to detail and commitment to safety throughout the process. Everything was completed on schedule and to a very high standard. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and well-executed racking design and installation,” stated a representative of the end customer.
“This project reflects the value of combining AR Racking’s engineering capability with the installation expertise of First Floors Mezzanine. Together, we have delivered a robust, efficient and future-ready storage solution that maximises the height of the building, ensures direct access to every pallet and supports the client’s new production and warehouse operations,” said Gonzalo Crovetto, Project Manager at AR Racking.
Through this project, AR Racking and First Floors Mezzanine strengthen their collaboration in the UK market, delivering high-quality storage systems designed around each client’s operational priorities, available space and long-term growth needs.
