The applied concept
GlideStor Storage Systems is a name synonymous with the provision of high-quality solutions to everyday storage requirements.
With a growing portfolio of blue-chip customers who benefit from our bespoke developments and off-the-shelf products, we pride ourselves on delivering products that work.
Our policy is very much to deliver products designed to meet your specific need.
Mobile storage and filing systems can effectively double the storage capacity of most offices and archival units, by halving the footprint of traditional static systems, thereby creating greater flexibility in the use of floor space. By applying this system to standard racking systems we have designed and patented Glidestor to increase space and efficiency for our clients.
Before GlideSTOR
The same storage area before the installation of the GlideSTOR system:

Faster picking solutions
Glidestor is typically used on pallet racking and long-span shelving, 800 to 1200 deep. Traditionally pallet and large boxes are used to store extra stock/ less moving files on the higher levels. Boxes would be stacked on top of each and to gain access was slow.
Open file picking, e-commerce, and mail order never made the best use of the lower and ground level used for picking by operatives with trollies. The picking boxes tended to be one box deep very often leaving the space behind empty or used for replenishment stock.
The Glidestor system allows boxes to be stored 2 to 3 boxes deep x 2 to 3 boxes high. Front and middle boxes are pushed aside to allow access to the boxes behind.
Picking times increase, cost per pick decreases and space used for picking is made more efficient. More can be picked in less space and faster moving lines can be located in the front boxes, less popular in the boxes behind and slowest at the back. It has been said picking times have become at least twice as fast perhaps five times faster.
Glidestor can be made to accommodate existing picking boxes sizes. Advise can also be given to specify best fit boxes size to make the use of the Glidestor system in conjunction with lenght of beam used on the tracking.
