Local warehouse lighting in Acocks Green
In Acocks Green distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
We plan lift access in Acocks Green around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
We cover the whole of Acocks Green, including the B27, B25 and B26 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath.
