Assembly and installation of a fully automated crane, shuttle, and conveyor system in Rochdale, including 16 high-speed cranes, multi-level shuttle storage, Rota picking stations, and spiral conveyors.
971 Mechanical Engineering delivered the full assembly and installation of a highly automated storage and picking system at a major distribution centre in Rochdale. The scope included 16 high-speed storage cranes, integrated overhead and ground level roller bed conveyor systems feeding from Goods In through a buffer shuttle storage network into the main crane storage area. The installation also featured a six-tier multi-level shuttle storage system, 24 Rota picking stations, and five three-tier Ambaflex spiral conveyors, creating a fully integrated, high-throughput material handling solution. This system was designed to maximise storage density, optimise picking efficiency, and support continuous, automated flow from inbound to dispatch.
