Our Role
Collaboration to design a storage system to suit the customer’s laboratory environment.
The Challenges
Our customer wanted to improve material transportation within their laboratories. The trollies they had were no longer fit for purpose and there were safety concerns around the loading and unloading of product. The incubation rooms could not accommodate the volume of product required due to the size of the trollies. Access was also an issue given the constraints of the narrow and low door frames.

Our initial approach was to visit the client’s site to observe their current process.
The solution consisted of building stainless steel transportation trollies with chemical resistant surfaces.These units were designed for purpose thus offering safety and ergonomic improvements as well as increasing space utilization and visibility of parts.
