Project brief

Bowker Transport is one of the UK's leading logistics providers, delivering warehousing, distribution and transport solutions across a wide range of industries. As a longstanding client, Stamina Storage Systems has supported the business on several warehouse storage projects, including a previous pallet racking installation at their Thorne facility. This project involved the expansion of storage capacity at Bowker's Selby Distribution Centre, a 25,000m² AA BRCGS-accredited warehousing facility.

Project Scope

After a detailed site survey and consultation took place, Stamina developed a bespoke storage solution that complemented the existing warehouse layout while maximising the available space. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the current operation, the installation provides the additional pallet capacity required to support Bowker’s continued growth and the increasing demands of its warehousing and distribution services.

Having previously partnered with Bowker Transport at their Thorne facility, Stamina were delighted to once again support the business with the expansion of one of its key logistics sites.

The solution

With warehouse utilisation increasing, Bowker’s required additional pallet storage that would integrate seamlessly with its existing operation. The installation needed to maximise the available footprint while accommodating different pallet heights and maintaining clear, safe access for forklift trucks and warehouse staff.

The design also had to take account of existing building services and ensure the finished installation was robust enough to withstand the demands of a busy logistics environment.

Working closely with the Bowker’s team, Stamina designed and installed a bespoke adjustable pallet racking system comprising multiple single and double-sided runs, with a combination of three and four beam levels to accommodate varying pallet heights and maximise storage flexibility. Additional wall-mounted racking was incorporated following final site surveys to ensure seamless integration with existing building services.

To enhance the longevity of the installation, every upright was fitted with  Protect-it XL  upright protection, while rack end barriers were installed at key impact locations to reduce the risk of accidental damage.

The racking system was designed to safely support uniformly distributed loads of up to 2000kg per beam level, providing a durable and flexible storage solution for Bowker’s expanding operation.

The Results

The additional pallet racking has significantly increased storage capacity at the Bowker Transport Selby warehouse, allowing the business to make better use of its existing facility while supporting continued operational growth.

Having previously partnered with Bowker on their Thorne warehouse, we were proud to continue supporting the business as it invested in expanding its Selby operation. This ongoing relationship reflects our ability to deliver reliable, high-quality warehouse storage solutions that meet the changing needs of the logistics sector.
