MISSION OBJECTIVE


We understand the requirements for the storage of a product is often determined by the nature of the product. Accordingly, our warehousing facilities offer the necessary storage features to ensure that our client’s product is afforded the most suitable handling and storage.

ESSENTIAL FACILITIES

1. The product will be kept under cover in a secure facility.2. The product will be kept “dry and clean” at all times. We understand that as the product is still to be sold, maximum product presentation should be maintained.3. Stock rotation will be based on the FIFO (first in first out) principal subject to specific alternative instruction. Batch integrity will be maintained at all times.4. To eliminate the chance of product contamination, and for ease of stock taking and handling, similar products will be stored together.5. Depending on requirement we are able to block stack or rack the cargo. Generally racking facilities minimise damage and help speed up handling times.6. The storage facilities include both customs bonded and free storage sections. This allows Importers the option to customs clear cargo on a demand basis to maximise cash flow options.

1. Mechanical forklift vehicles which are equipped to handle both drum and palletised products.2. The forklift vehicle’s size allows for easy entry into sea containers to minimise manual handling.3. Each forklift has high reach lifting capabilities matched to the racking installations on site.4. A container dock loader is accessible to maximise container destuffing times.5. Adequate vehicle access is available to handle both interlink and 12 metre semi- trailer configurations.6. All vehicle loading and unloading is supervised by qualified personnel.

Depending on requirement, full loads can be arranged to facilitate multi-drops. By load scheduling we are able to satisfy most customer’s service requirements and at a competitive rate.

This will be signed by a responsible party who will check and record the condition and quantities of product received. Any irregularities will be recorded with the necessary endorsement.

Each and every shipment drawn from stock will be documented. A signed consignment note will be obtained from the consignee being the final proof of delivery.
