The Ramada Storax Group
The Ramada Storax factory was
founded in northern Portugal
in 1935 by engineer Francisco
Ramada. The company became a
licenced manufacturer for Dexion
Ltd – renowned UK founder
of the storage and materials
handling industry - in 1958. Their
relationship endured for nearly
40 years.
Independent since the late 1990’s, Ramada Storax
acquired a UK-based company called Barpro
in 2001. Having developed an innovative railmounted storage system in 1968, Barpro was the
pioneer of the modern mobile racking industry and
had continued to hone their invention, becoming
world leaders over the ensuing 30 years.
When the Ramada Storax Group acquired Barpro
in 2001, the company inherited the leading edge
technology and know-how that became the
springboard to further innovative research and
development. Today Ramada Storax export their
systems world-wide and are also involved in the
creation of pan-European EN design standards.
In 2003 Ramada Storax backed the creation of a new trading division of Storax
UK: Storax Racking Supplies. As a stock-holding source of supply-only racking and
shelving for trade dealers in the industry, the business is now a well-established and
respected supplier in the storage equipment marketplace.
Storax UK are Associate members of SEMA and full
members of the Sema Distributor Group.
The Ramada Storax Group plays an active part in the creation of industry
standards with the European Federation of Materials Handling (FEM).
SEMA stands for The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association. The
organisation was founded in the early days of the storage equipment industry, to
develop and establish design standards for racking systems installed in the UK.
Today SEMA continues to promote and champion standards across the fields of
product design, supply and installation, while also representing the UK’s interests in
Europe.
Storax SP80 (SEMA) racking complies with SEMA design standards and provides
efficient storage for palletised and non-palletised loads. It can be used with all
designs and makes of fork lift trucks and mechanical handling equipment.
Frames up to 12 metres high can be created
without splicing, making Storax SP80 (SEMA)
racking especially cost-effective in high-bay
installations.

As well as accessories that enhance safety, accessories that serve a dual role of
also reducing operating costs can be incorporated in Storax SP80 (SEMA) racking
installations.
In busy, fast-moving sites where frequent fork truck
impact is anticipated the vulnerable, bottom section of
aisle-facing uprights can be fitted with so-called ‘sacrificial
legs’.
Solid posts made from structural steel take the place
of the low-level upright sections. A cover made from a
section of upright – the part that gives this solution its
name - maintains the appearance of the installation. When
impact occurs, damage is restricted to the cover which is
quickly and cheaply replaced, while the structural integrity
of the racking is maintained. This minimises down-time,
repair costs and the temporary loss of warehouse capacity.
Installing P&D (‘Pick-up and Deposit’) stations onto
the ends of Storax SP pallet racking means that
dedicated trucks work exclusively within aisles
while ‘feeder’ trucks transfer pallets between the
P&D station and goods in/despatch points.
This improves pallet put-away and retrieval rates
while also minimising the number of trucks that are
operating in communal warehouse areas, reducing
the risk to pedestrians and operatives.
Providing rubbish sacks at the
ends of racks helps to keep
the workplace tidy and free of
potential trip hazards while also
making waste disposal efficient.
The prominent display of load
notices is an industry-wide
requirement and ensures that
operators know at a glance the
safe weight limits of the racks.
