Pets Choice Ltd, Blackburn

Pets Choice Ltd have been manufacturing pet food for many years and during thus time the existing racking systems in their two main warehouses had endured heavy use and had sustained a large amount of damage from fork truck activity.   Rather than continuously spending large amounts of money on patching and fixing damage, Pets Choice called in Universal to tender for the removal of the old racking and replacement with Second Hand racking.   A third warehouse had also just be acquired to store packaging materials.
For the main warehouses, Universal confirmed that it would be more cost effective in the long term to strip out and scrap the damage racking and recommended the installation of good quality Used Link racking system to the same specification.   For the new warehouse Universal recommended a Used Dexion racking system with a slightly longer Beam length to accommodate larger packaging materials.

Pets Choice chose Universal on a combination of price, lead time and makes of racking (Dexion and Link are the two best known makes and future parts are more readily available)

Jack Taylor, Pets Choice’s Operations Director said “We are delighted with the whole installation.  Universal supplied good quality racking at a very good price and were able to schedule the work without unnecessary disruption to our operations. We will certainly be using them again for future work”
