Logistics

Here we describe the design of the packaging. We start with the format of the so-called EUROPAL as a platform to work on. We also have our logistical knowledge as furniture manufacturers with export experience both continental and overseas.

We begin the development of a packaging that optimizes space and content protection. The best relationship found on the project volumes is two units per package. Each package will occupy a surface of 600 x 800 mm, exactly half of a Europal. In this way, on the surface and per unit of pallet we can place two boxes or what is the same, four dismounted stools.

The tests carried out with different models determine the third dimension of the volume with 600 mm minimum. The placement in each box of the two units of stools is shown in the following figure:

The results obtained in the cubic capacity of the different transport platforms; 40’ DV container, 20’ DV container and 33 Europalet truck, satisfy the initial premise of duplicating the logistical capabilities in all cases.

According to the given distributions, these are the maximum transport capacities by type of vehicle:

Stool assembly

1. Insert the footrest into the base of the stool.
2. Insert the gas spring into the hole in the centre of the footrest.
3. Attach the piston cover to the bottom of the seat, keeping in mind that we must put a small spring in between. We must also give a small turn so that
4. the lugs of one of the caps of the piston cover fits correctly in the grooves of the cap located in the lower part of the seat.
5. Place the seating area on top of the assembly (base, footrest and gas spring). Thanks to the system of cones, the pressure applied on the stool when we sit down will leave it completely attached.

Placement of armrests

1. With the seat upside down, insert, from the rear, the clamping plate between the seat and the gas spring support plate. Position the holes according to the sketch.
2. Position the armrest piece on top, aligning the holes with those of the clamping plate in step 1.
3. Screw together with the two M.8 screws supplied.
