STURBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — RLS Logistics, a leading third-generation provider of cold chain solutions, through its affiliate RLS Partners in Sturbridge, MA, held an open house on October 20th to celebrate the completion of their newest full-service refrigerated warehouse operation. The well-attended event included local and national dignitaries as well as the public. The event featured tours of the facility and the opportunity to observe mobile racking in action.
The 83,000 sq. ft. (3,900,000 cu. ft.) temperature-controlled facility will boast 18,000 pallet positions with the support of the mobile racking system. The state-of-the-art mobile racking system allows the facility to hold 40-45% more pallet positions than the standard double deep racking.
