Solutions For an Over Packed, Under Leveraged Warehouse
1/31/2022
The last two years have brought unprecedented difficulties in the global supply chain to the attention of the world. Increasingly long lead and shipping times have many local or regional manufacturers, warehouses, and fulfillment centers thinking that it is time to better leverage what they have. The number one thing that these companies have is square footage, but the problem is how well that square footage is being used, can it be better leveraged?
Midwest Storage Solutions has two, incredibly versatile solutions for your space: Heavy-Duty Mobile Shelving and Vertical Lift Modules.
Heavy-Duty Mobile Shelving
The number one way to address perceived shortages in square footage is to consider 2 things: static space and vertical space. Heavy-duty mobile shelving, being on tracks or rails, removes the need for static aisle space between rows of shelving. Push-button electric controls or mechanical cranks safely and efficiently move the shelves along the rails. Mobile shelving is ideal for items in a range of sizes and is an excellent storage solution for items that are needed less frequently. By removing the need for static aisles between shelves, you can increase storage up to 60% in the same square footage. ActivRac Mobile Aisles leverage vertical space while still being on mobile tracks. Thereby increasing your storage capacity even more.
Vertical Lift Modules
Vertical Lift Modules are self-contained storage systems that leverage vertical space and top-of-the-line software for efficient storage and product picking. Ideal for high turnover products of medium to smaller sizes, Vertical lifts come in a variety of footprints to best serve you and your warehouse’s needs. Some key benefits of these vertical lifts modules include
- Improved picking accuracy
- Increase productivity
- Reduced risk of injuries
- Managing inventory in real time
Recover up to 90% of valuable floor space with a Vertical Lift. Couple that with Heavy Duty Mobile Shelving and see the change for yourself. What was once a warehouse packed to the gills can now hold considerably more without increasing the square footage at all!
