Warehousing

Storage and distribution is a fast moving highly skilled discipline within the logistics industry. Eddie Stobart Ltd operates over 2.6 million square feet of warehousing, strategically located throughout the UK and Europe, with a huge variety of storage options. Facilities range from standard block stacking to narrow aisle, very narrow aisle and high bay racking.

Each warehouse is serviced by a range of the very latest equipment, including articulated and 'man-up' fork lift trucks for the rapid movement of goods. 'Paperless' warehouses use a range of sophisticated bar coding and tracking systems that are able to give full pallet traceability and manage large scale case picking operations. Customers can access their stock levels in real time via electronic communication, and if required Eddie Stobart Ltd systems can be interfaced to customer systems to give seamless information flows in real time.

Eddie Stobart Ltd operates in varied warehousing environments and catering for a wide range of product, which includes food, medical products, packaging, building materials and consumer goods. Any dimension of pallet can be accommodated and product can be received and palleted.

There are a variety of long or short-term rental and leasing options offering customers maximum flexibility. Eddie Stobart Ltd can provide warehouse management on a customer's own site, by providing fully trained staff, up-to-date equipment and vast experience in storage and distribution operations.


Consolidated Distribution Centres

Consolidated distribution is a demanding service calling for a high degree of organisational skills. Consolidation warehouses operate a 24 hour intake programme serviced by highly efficient vehicle scheduling. Each incoming pallet has a unique identity which is traceable at any time. Customers have constant access to this information and ultimate control over its movement, from manufacture to final destination. Up-to-date communication systems allow consignment and delivery data to be received direct from the customer and pallet-trace technology allows assembly and delivery of loads within demanding time frames. At Eddie Stobart Ltd planning and scheduling operators define the most efficient procedures, which are carried forward by a highly skilled team.
