Vospers head back to SSI Schaefer
30th May 2011 
Vospers Motor House Ltd in Plymouth, Devon, which has recently undergone a full and extensive make-over, has developed a new parts storage area running alongside its existing stores area in order to fully facilitate the additional storage requirements resulting from its recent expansion into a multi-franchise dealership.
As an existing supplier to Vospers with a relationship spanning over two decades, SSI Schaefer were drafted in for their expertise in materials handling and space utilisation – SSI Schaefer had to ensure that shelving and flooring in the new parts area tied in seamlessly with storage products from the current stores facility installed over 15 years ago (by SSI Schaefer).
Making the most of available space within the newly developed parts area, cushioned alongside a number of offices, thereby limiting surroundings, SSI Schaefer has cleverly designed and installed a new mezzanine floor that meets at the same floor level as the older oversailing floor and R4000 shelving originally built by SSI Schaefer – complementing their existing parts store.
In addition, SSI Schaefer has fitted its R3000 multi-tier shelving, including RK containers and shelf dividers for optimum organisation, designed to house small and medium-sized goods and accommodate bulky components – a unique shelving product, popular for its space optimising credentials and flexibility – the system that can be easily adjusted to suit future business expansion.
The shelving in the new parts area is now joined onto the new mezzanine floor in the ‘older’ parts area via a bespoke staircase.
Bob Foster, Vosper Group Parts Director, said: “As a business we are continually growing and looking ahead, the recent expansion into a multi-franchise dealership meant that we needed more space to house a mixture of car parts from six manufacturers – however, with limited resources to achieve this we required the available space to be used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
“Having built a new stores area, SSI Schaefer were then able to provide, within a very tight area, a workable storage facility with mezzanine floor that now flows smoothly from our existing stores area – they really have given us maximum use within a confined space which is exactly what we requested.”
