PE Cold Storage
(PECS) is
extending the
working season
for its giant multi-purpose
warehouse complex in the
Coega logistics zone by
also making it available
for general
cargo outside
of the peak
deciduous
and citrus
seasons.
The secure
facility, which is suitable for
both dry and cool cargo, will
now be operating between
the months of October and
March, according to director
Mark Jensen.
New rooms in the
R100-million extensions,
which have increased
capacity from 7 500 pallets
to 15 000, are fitted with
roof-high mobile racks
which have helped improve
productivity and flexibility
within the warehouse.
Logistics management
software and equipment,
used to store and manage
pallets for export, can equally
be used to
provide
logistics
support for
importers,
exporters
or local
producers of dry goods and
cargo during the lead up to,
and over the busy Christmas
period.
“So, rather than businesses
building capacity for those
few months which then stands
idle for the rest of the year, we
would like to see them making
use of the PE Cold Storage
warehouse,” he says.
