Industrial Market

We have the knowledge and expertise to design and engineer custom storage solutions to fit the needs of your warehouse facility.

Today’s warehouses can be a challenge when considering storage.

Many warehouses and industrial environments have the need to accommodate large equipment and parts, but also need to have quick, easy access to smaller parts, tools, and inventory. A warehouse staff’s ability to retrieve items in an efficient manner is directly related to its productivity.

Efficient storage increases a warehouse’s bottom line.

Our partnership with Spacesaver has given us the knowledge and expertise to design and engineer custom storage solutions to fit the needs of your warehouse facility. These storage solutions make it possible to increase SKU’s or pallet positions by mounting your existing pallet racks or shelves on mobile carriages that move back and forth on rails anchored to the floor.

We understand how important yet limited your space truly is—and we can help. Taking a different approach to your space by installing compact shelving is a way to avoid additional lease expenses, a costly expansion, or a new facility. Take a look at our storage solutions below.

Industrial Storage:

Solved.

Heavy-Duty Mobile Racking

Heavy-duty mobile racking is ideal for warehouses, frozen warehouses, cold storage facilities, and any location that requires a compact storage solution for heavy items. By mounting pre-existing pallet racking or shelving onto mobile carriages that move along tracks, Spacesaver’s ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System reduces wasted, and unused aisle space. These carriages are equipped with numerous safety and security features and have a load capacity ranging from 3,000 to 30,000 lbs.

Due to its heavy-duty capacity, ActivRAC is an obvious choice for a variety of storage issues, including the storage of equipment and supplies as well as freezer and cooler contents. This transportable pallet racking system can increase capacity in any location without the expense of restoration or expansion because it can be fastened to pre-existing concrete.

Metal Shelving

Part of what makes high-density mobile shelving so cost-effective is that it can utilize your existing pallet racking or shelving. If you find yourself in need of additional shelving, we offer a variety of durable options, such as wide span and 4-post to solve your shelving needs.

Vertical Lift Modules (Modula)

Not only can you now store a large amount of goods safely, but reduce up to 90% of your storage footprint by using vertical space. Modula Vertical Lifts do just this, and are a fully automated and ergonomic vertical storage system. They are known to increase speed, efficiency, and accuracy of your operations. All it takes is a simple touch on the user-friendly Copilot controller, or a scan of the barcode, and you will have exactly what you need, fast.
Modula VLM
Don’t believe us? One automotive dealership struggled with inefficient processes that were labor intensive and time consuming. Parts needed for a repair were tough to locate, and there was no tracking system to monitor what tools were being used and when. This led to damaged and unusable tools, and in some cases, theft. When they implemented our Vertical Lift Module, they were not only able to quickly and accurately locate needed parts and tools, but they also incorporated an alphanumeric LED message center bar that allowed them to locate items immediately. It achieves a 99.9% picking accuracy, as it points directly to the item location within a tray.

Industrial Storage Applications

Centralized MRO Storage

Organization is Key

Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory can account for as much as 40% of an industry’s annual procurement budget. This number can actually increase, based on how well or poorly the inventory is managed. Having a well-maintained and tightly managed inventory storage area is the main goal to help reduce the cost. Spacesaver’s high-density mobile systems, and metal shelving will keep your tools, parts, and repair items in a central storage area, which is critical to your bottom line.

Has this ever happened to you?

A system in your warehouse breaks down, and the part you need to make the simple fix is nowhere to be found. You know you have the part—you just saw it while rooting around in your MRO inventory a few days ago. After a few hours of searching and failing to find it, you decide that you need to order the part immediately. Just to be safe you add a rush order, with expedited freight and order a few extra, in the event a similar situation takes place. Days later, the part comes in and the money is subtracted from your already limited budget, and just then, you look to your left and see the exact part you need and an extra— it was there the whole time. Now, you have five of the same part when you only needed one, and the money that you could have spent on something else is now tied up in inventory you don’t need. Want to make sure this doesn’t happen again? Spacesaver’s heavy-duty mobile racking systems feature load capacities from 7,000 to 30,000 pounds per carriage—and are cost-effective solutions for increasing volume in any space.

Climate-Controlled Storage

A Safety Net for Your Cold Chain

If you’re constructing a new climate-controlled warehouse space, you know it’s expensive—the average being around $200 per square foot. And, if you’re a medium or small-sized company, you might be renting that space, so the money you could be spending diversifying products or adding value in other ways is getting wrapped up in rent. No matter if you rent or own, one thing is for certain—there’s never enough space. Constructing or renting additional cold storage space isn’t your only option. Rethinking your cold storage shelving and utilizing heavy-duty mobile racking can maximize that square footage in ways you may not realize. Spacesaver’s ActivRAC heavy-duty mobile racking is designed to withstand temperatures of -4 degrees Fahrenheit and above, and for environments below -4 degrees, we offer a stainless steel option.

Additional Applications

In addition to MRO and climate-controlled storage applications, the uses for ActivRAC heavy-duty mobile storage within a warehouse are limitless. Other applications include:
  • Auto parts and manufacturing storage
  • Composite storage for aerospace industries
  • Museum storage
  • Military storage
  • Pharmaceutical processing and inventory storage
  • Keg beer and food storage

We can walk you through your options.
