Easy Rider shelving system solves storage problems for food processing sector

Teknomek has added the Hupfer Easy Rider shelving system to its product portfolio, to solve one of the food processing sector’s biggest challenges: lack of storage space.  Teknomek, known as one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of hygienic solutions, recently became the UK distributor of Hupfer equipment. 

Typically, fixed walkways are needed between shelving racks so that people can reach them, meaning half of a storage room is taken up by access space. The Easy Rider system takes away this need for fixed walkways, using mobile shelving racks housed on ball-bearing runners.  Users simply move the racks to access the section they need.  Without fixed walkways, twice as much storage space can be incorporated into a facility. The runners mean the shelves glide smoothly, with no strain or effort from those accessing them, making the process of moving one rack to reach another completely strain free.

Shelving can be wired or solid, and the height can be adjusted easily to accommodate changing stock, and processes.  The system is easy to install and can be customised to suit the size of the space available. 

In keeping with Teknomek’s commitment to supplying its customers with hygienic and sustainable solutions, the Hupfer Easy Rider system is manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, for durability and corrosion resistance. When a deep clean is required, the racks can be fully dismantled to ensure no bacteria can hide unnoticed.  Another hygienic benefit is that installation requires no drilling into the floor, which would create dirt traps.

Because the system is easy to disassemble, with no building work required to ‘make good’ or reinstall, it can also be relocated to a different space if required.

Michelle Locke is product and marketing manager at Teknomek.  “We know that storage space is one of the biggest challenges for food processing businesses, particularly for those that are growing or extending product ranges. The Easy Rider system can double storage capacity without the need for a complicated installation process.  Because it is designed and manufactured with hygiene in mind, like all Teknomek products, it supports cleaning regimes and helps ensure that food businesses are audit ready, every day.”
