Avanta provides shelving for fashion retailer

Avanta has provided a stockroom storage solution for high-street fashion retailer Allsaints.

The solution has helped to maximise storage capacity within a number of the retailer's stores nationwide.

The installations have centred around use of the Just shelving range that not only offers simple, versatile construction but also provides a choice of standard or heavy-duty shelving as well as a dedicated garment-hanging option.

Each location is now also benefiting from the space-saving advantages that arise from shelving installed in a 'mobile' configuration.

Andrew Chipp, sales director at Avanta, said: 'The ability of mobile shelving to maximise capacity within a given footprint is well understood.

'Because it only requires one access aisle to be open at a time, the remainder of the mobile shelving facility can remain in a closed position, thus maximising the density of the "storage cube".

'However, with garment hanging, there can be a risk that, where products overhang the edge of the bay, tangling could occur, which is not only inconvenient but, far worse, could lead to product damage.

'Our designers have addressed this by incorporating a simple buffer mechanism on each mobile base that prevents aisles from being completely closed while still providing sufficient benefit from the mobile shelving concept,' he added.

According to Chipp, the Just shelving concept is ideal for this type of application.

'Its simple tap-together and highly adjustable design offers unrestricted access to both sides of each shelving run - very useful in a mobile configuration such as at the Allsaints sites.

'With beams simply slotted into the uprights, the structure can hold either chipboard shelves or can be fitted with the purpose-designed garment-hanging system, both of which we have used extensively as part of the Allsaints project,' he said.
