DTZ Property Consultants

DTZ Property Consultants 3One of the country's leading international property consultants is amongst the first organisations to benefit from Link 51's latest shelving equipment development. The Birmingham offices of DTZ, feature three separate installations of 'Stormor' mobile shelving systems - now key to a recent office centralisation that has seen offices on six separate floors relocated into a new, single 22,000 sq. ft. facility

The Stormor installations have been undertaken by Morgan Lovell and house a wide range of files in regular, daily use. Because of the mobile shelving configuration, only one access aisle in each of the three separate blocks needs to be opened at a time allowing the majority of the installations to be kept closed. Thus the maximum amount of storage can be achieved within a given footprint - typically, claims

Link 51, up to 50% more can be gained compared to static systems.

DTZ Property Consultants 2A combination of filing boxes, lever arch files and colour-coded document wallets are used at the site with the shelving layout designed to accommodate the wide range of dimensions. This sees eight shelf levels provided in back-to-back runs, each three bays wide with up to six faces in each location. Flanked by static shelving, the mobile units are mounted on parallel rails located into a raised floor, with movement achieved through the simple action of a hand-wheel. Because the Stormor product has been specified, slim upright sections are used so maximum space can be dedicated to the storage area. The easy-to-assemble, clip-together design means that DTZ can simply adjust the shelf layout should future requirements change.

The Link 51 mobile units mean we have been able to position filing appropriate to specific operational divisions without extensive demands on floor area,' comments DTZ Surveyor, Catherine Thompson. 'This clearly saves time and makes handling document material easier particularly when compared to the previous operation across six floors.'
