Alwayse Engineering Ltd has entered a strategic partnership with Rapid Racking Ltd, the UK’s leading specialist in shelving and racking solutions, to integrate its precision range of ball transfer units into custom tables for roll-on/roll-off capability.
This collaboration between the two UK businesses aims to reduce the risk of physical strain and fatigue for warehousing and logistics workers when loading and unloading shelves, particularly when handling heavy items.
The integration of Birmingham-based Alwayse Engineering’s 3016 series ball transfer units into Rapid Racking’s tables also offers enhanced customisation and flexibility for warehousing operators. They can be introduced during the design stage for new storage systems, as well as to improve the efficiency of existing installations.
The ball tables will be available across Rapid Racking’s Rapid 1 workbench range and are available in 1830x760mm and 1830x915mm tables.
“We are thrilled to partner with Rapid Racking and begin integrating our ball transfer units into their custom tables,” said James Turner, Head of UK and Ireland Sales at Alwayse Engineering. “Poor manual handling is one of the biggest causes of workplace injury, so finding a safe, efficient and repeatable way to improve processes was a key driver behind the partnership.”
Tom Ellis, Head of Product & Services at Rapid Racking Ltd, added: “We are always on the lookout for innovative ways to help make our customers’ lives easier. The integration of Alwayse ball tables into our racking units will deliver a step-change in workplace safety and productivity. Our team is very excited at the opportunity of partnering with another UK business that shares our vision of transforming the warehousing industry.”
