Logistics & 3PL

Kentron has equipped more than 350 logistics and 3PL operations across the UK and Europe — from 5,000 m² ambient overspill sheds to 60,000 m² multi-client national distribution centres. Every project pairs SEMA-approved engineering with SSIP-certified installation under one accountable team, so throughput targets and compliance obligations move together.

We design to EN 15512 and FEM 10.2.02, issue full structural calculations for every load case, and install in phased programmes that keep your operation live. From VNA and narrow-aisle pallet racking to pick modules, mezzanines and ASRS interfaces, we size the building around your MHE, pallet profile and shift pattern — not the other way round.

Challenges

Where operators get stuck.

  • 01 Peak-season throughput stretching existing pick faces and pallet velocity.
  • 02 SKU proliferation forcing a mixed profile of bulk, narrow-aisle and carton-flow.
  • 03 Damage-rate creep and missing SEMA inspection records on legacy racking.
  • 04 Live reconfiguration pressure with no route to plan downtime.
  • 05 Insurance, fire-code and sprinkler in-rack compliance on mixed-use sites.
  • 06 Net-zero, embodied-carbon and waste-reduction targets from the client.
Our approach

How Kentron solves them.

  • High-density racking, VNA and mezzanine strategies engineered to your MHE and flow.
  • SEMA-approved damage assessment, remedial repair and a written inspection regime.
  • FEM 10.2.02 / EN 15512 calculations for any new load case, seismic or dynamic.
  • Phased install programmes and out-of-hours crews that keep the DC running.
  • In-rack sprinkler, smoke-detection and flue-space design coordinated with the client.
  • Bolted, reusable structures with recycled-steel content and end-of-life buy-back.
