"Performance has improved considerably and the speed at which operations can now take place is providing significant benefits to the company. The new unit will continue to help Airbus grow, so it’s been a massive success!” Stuart, Airbus

WHO ARE AIRBUS?

Airbus is the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe, active in the commercial aircraft, helicopter, defence and space sectors.

Airbus is developing the next generation of aircraft to be lighter, safer, and more fuel-efficient, actively contributing to the industry’s goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

THE OBJECTIVE

Airbus logo

The main objective was simple, to design a storage system for a brand-new purpose-built warehouse for the future of Airbus Helicopters. The new warehouse was built to allow all operations to take place under one roof, instead of working out of four different units. With the aim to ensure a more streamlined and efficient service for their customers, making this an exciting project for Airbus.

WHY DID AIRBUS CHOOSE RAPID RACKING?

As a valued, repeat customer of Rapid Racking, Airbus was accustomed with how Rapid Racking operates and how customer projects are managed. From a free initial site visit, and a dedicated Design Expert, to support and updates on customer projects, Airbus trusted Rapid Racking with their project. Our reputation and experience in designing and installing large industrial storage solutions, meant Rapid Racking were a first choice for Airbus.

THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS!

Our dedicated Design Expert, Ian, liaised and worked with our customer Stuart throughout the project to ensure all requirements were met and every detail was accounted for. Based on our customers’ needs, Ian recommended a combination of Pallet Racking, as this is a safe and cost-effective solution for storing goods above ground level, and Cantilever Racking, ideal for storing long, heavy loads that are machine-loaded. In addition to this, Ian suggested a range of our Rapid 1 and Rapid 2 shelving due to its strength and durability.

In just twelve days, the racking and shelving systems were fully installed by SIERS approved installers. To ensure the highest industry standards and codes of practice were met, our installers were on hand to build the shelving and racking exactly as agreed.

Following the project’s completion, our customer has now moved into their fully functioning new warehouse. Stuart, Segment Manager at Airbus, explained how “performance has improved considerably, and the speed at which operations can now take place is having a significant benefit to the company. The new unit will continue to help Airbus grow, so it’s been a massive success!”
