Last nights Inside The Factory, Gregg was getting excited in the Henry Vacuum Cleaner factory. Usual stuff, all very good. Topped off by the pallet racking system at the end of the factory. How do you get pallets together, neat and tidy, yet simple and efficient for putting there from the factory floor and loading onto vehicles? Answer - A racking system with a 6 degree slope, the pallets put on trays with wheels. Load the pallet on the rack from the factory floor. It glides, very gently, down the rack, guided by rails to keep it straight, until it gently reaches the bottom, where it would get loaded. When it comes to load, the FL operator takes the front one out, whilst they load, the one behind gently rolls down to be ready to be loaded. So simple, so clever. Love stuff like that.
