Question for industrials

[asbru]

Our main industrial duty uses a 48 box frame the same as an IPS frame to set up in the morning. There's nearly 200 drops on the round, but 70ish are residential. That still leaves most of the slots at least doubled up, usually more so. I find that this means I'm still setting up well over an hour after the last letter is thrown in the frame. Surely this duty would be better off on an RM2000 frame?

What do other industrials use? And if you use an RM2000 frame, what do you do with the really high volume calls that were better off in a couple of boxes on a box frame?

We only have one such duty. It has 8 residential drops and about 40 businesses. It is preped on an RM2000, but since there aren't many drops there is loads of space on the frame so most of the businesses have half a box each which is generally enough.

How different duties are - the firms delivery in my do has about 50 firms but over 250 houses plus packets and we use a RM2000 frame +1/2 with bigger gaps for the firms.

My duty has 500 residential and 130 firms. I use an extended RM2000.

The only duties in our office that use the old style 48 box frames are those that are made up entirely of firms, i.e. driving duties.

Thanks for those replies. Seems like this duty would be better suited to a RM2000. Anyone else got experience of industrial duties?

The industrials in our office use rm 2000 frames about 350 calls mostly businesses
