XXXLutz inaugurates logistics centre
After almost twelve months of construction, the furniture dealer has officially inaugurated its new logistics and service centre in Schüttorf (Lower Saxony, Germany) and thus paved the way for improving the efficiency of its deliveries and furniture installation services.
The new centre in Schüttdorf is one of the most modern furniture hubs in Germany. The building is 190 m long, 72 m wide and 7 m high and contains 22 gates for loading and unloading trucks, two of which are specially designed to offer the option of independent night-time deliveries outside normal office hours.
In total, more than 325 t of steel, 8 km of data cables and 19 km of electric cables were built into the new centre. Forklift trucks can drive into the warehouse via a special ramp, which further speeds up the cargo handling process. (mw)
