Storage systems for thermal covers
One of the additional products which are used together with thermal covers are storage systems on which the covers are hung-up. To do this the thermal covers are foreseen with straps on top of the covers which fit on the storage containers. These containers are foreseen with bars. A storage container can maintain storage of 20 covers depending on the thickness or insulation quality of the covers. If the covers are not used they are hung-up on these containers. The trick is to place the storage container strategically in the distribution center. The storage containers are also movable which makes it possible to move the stored thermal covers from the return entry of the distribution center to the temperature conditioned facility where they are to be used again. Next to the storage the storage containers can also be used to bring-on the thermal covers over the roller containers or pallets. When the covers are implemented with the folding system, the cover will automatically fold open on the storage container so the roller container or pallet can be driven in the open cover. Next the cover is taken from the storage containers and closed, ready for transport. This system is successfully implemented in several supermarket groups where they see that the time, used to handle an insulated cover, is reduced from minutes to just seconds.
