ROLL STORAGE.
Storing rolls of fabric is notoriously difficult. Standard racking systems up storage capacity but rolls become stacked on top of each other meaning they are difficult to access when picked, and also run the risk of being damaged from the weight of rolls above. Polymaster have two dedicated roll storage systems. Our Honeycomb system gives individual storage locations to give easy access for picking and prevent damage, and our Porcupine system for suspending rolls individually, ideal for velvet’s and delicate fabrics that can become damaged under their own weight when stored conventionally.
In addition we can provide storage carousels for rolls (or anything else) that can be used to move items between floors or to act as vertical storage. Carousel systems can also be utilised behind rolling machines to give easy access to your leading product lines.
HONEYCOMB RACKING. Our specialist honeycomb racking system allows each roll to have it's own location within the rack preventing any crushing from the weight of other rolls and meaning the roll is easy to remove and replace into it's location. We can provide full honeycomb systems or hybrid versions with stillage storage as shown. When combined with our stock control system each location is tagged giving each piece it's own individual location within the warehouse.

PORCUPINE RACKING SYSTEM. To prevent fabric rolls from touching a surface or each other when being stored is almost impossible unless you have the right storage system, and with the Polymaster "Porcupine" system...you do! This system is useful for any fabric that can become damaged when stored conventionally under it's own weight. Velvets are a common issue but any cloth with a heavy pile can become affected and marked when stored on normal shelving systems. All cloth is mounted centrally on the "Porcupine" system through the tube the cloth is rolled around. This ensures the roll is suspended and the cloth itself never touches a surface.
ROLL CAROUSELS. Taking full advantage of space available in a warehouse can be difficult but is essential in order to maximise storage and increase efficiency. A rotating carousel can act as either a storage unit for cloth rolls to take advantage of building height or can provide goods transfer & storage between departments using a mezzanine floor setup. This has proven successful in cut length operations where stock is held on one floor and the order processing is done on another. This maximises warehouse space and creates an efficient workflow between departments.
