Utilize Your Warehouse Space in the Best Possible Way

When your company is experiencing growth, maximizing warehouse space is extremely important. Including industrial storage solutions into how you organize will help enlarge the area you have to work with significantly. The more space you have to store products, the more chances you’ll have to increase your profit. Industrial shelving units are cost-effective ways to manage your warehouse without having to relocate or purchase more property. With these helpful tips, you will be able to utilize your warehouse space in the best possible way with industrial metal shelves.

Build Upwards
The best thing about industrial steel shelves is the ability to build upwards. Most warehouses are designed with an unnecessary amount of space overhead. In order to take advantage of this free space, you can install raised storage areas. This second-level of storage can essentially double your entire warehouse for a minimum cost that will maximize profit. For even more space, install a multi-level system that can add additional levels of fully accessible storage.

A Mix of Storage Solutions
Wasted-space is a thing of the past. When you’re looking to invest in industrial storage shelving, it’s important to remember that you don’t have to necessarily stick to one type of storage solution. To make the best use of your warehouse, incorporating shelving products with pallet rack products can help you better utilize all the space you have available.

Maximize Your Warehouse Space with Industrial Metal Shelves

Let’s face it: warehouse space is expensive. Even if you get the best deal in town on warehouse space, your company is a business, and you can’t afford to waste money needlessly. A disorganized warehouse translates directly into a loss of functional space, and a loss of space means that you are paying more for less. With that fact in mind, you might be able to see how valuable storage solutions like industrial metal shelves can be. Choosing shelves can seem like a minor issue; however, there are some important considerations to make if you want to get the most for your dollar.

First of all, you want to ensure that you are seeking out storage options that can withstand the trials of your workplace. Many business owners looking into storage solutions are tempted by “heavy duty" plastic shelving which can be bought at a very low price from general hardware stores. The downside of this type of shelving is that it isn’t close to being prepared for industrial applications. Instead, consider choosing industrial steel storage racks. Industrial steel storage racks are stronger than plastic options, more resistant to wear and tear, and are largely just as affordable, especially if you consider the savings that result from steel racks lasting longer.

The Various Industries That We Serve

With a broad range of shelving, rack, record storage, and mezzanine systems, Western Pacific Storage Solutions (WPSS) has the perfect solution for all types of industries. For more than 30 years, our goal has remained the same: to provide customers with the right solution that saves time and money and improves day-to-day operations.

Brief Introduction to Our Customers

• Beverage Distribution – Many beverage distribution companies struggle with limited space. We can rectify the problem by incorporating a cantilever rack with a steel shelf system. To reduce breakage, this custom-engineered product has rounded corners. Compared to traditional shelving, our one-piece steel shelves provide three times more length for improved storage and enhanced productivity.

• Medical and Healthcare – As baby boomers age, the need for medical care increases. As a result, hospitals, medical clinics, and doctors’ offices commonly store and archive patient records wherever they can find space. Our efficient solution takes advantage of vertical space. Reaching 20 feet tall, our two-level archive system can easily accommodate x-rays, boxes of archived records, and open files. To gain access to the second level, a freight elevator or reciprocating conveyor can be installed.

Choosing the Right Type of Industrial Shelving Systems

Although there are many differences in how various warehouses operate, one dynamic shared by all is the use of industrial shelving systems. Whether used strictly for storage or inventory being prepared for shipment, it is important to choose the right type of system. By doing so, warehouses run more efficiently, production increases, and safety improves.

•  Special Considerations -When looking at different industrial shelving systems, you want to consider several factors. With good planning, you will save time and money in both the short and long term.

•  Internal Business Operations– Whether you require standard or heavy-duty steel shelving, start by looking at the business as a whole. As part of this, include a forecast for growth. This allows enough space, as well as flexibility to adapt for any changes that might arise. Most importantly, consider current plans for expansion, including product lines, new stock, unique categories, and so on.

•  Industry Overview– You also want to consider how industry-specific factors might impact your business operations. For instance, is your company in slow or fast growth mode? Are you ready for changes in regulations that might affect the handling of stock? Does the business respond to seasonal variations? The goal is to look at steel shelving that offers long-term efficiency.

•  Picking Profile– The movement of your product range and SKU are also important. When researching industrial shelves, consider the method for receiving orders and the design of pickup zones. Shelves should handle changes that occur between levels of SKUs. For product range, you want industrial steel shelving that works best for the weight, height, and movement of your products.

Lessons Learned from Platform (Mezzanine) Installations

Providing Fast-Turnaround Workspace and Inventory Solutions When it comes to reaping the benefits of a new work platform (mezzanine), the key to keeping Murphy’s Law at bay is good planning and anticipation. But, for many platform (mezzanine) projects, lessons have been learned the hard way:

• Design integration is not given enough careful consideration (ex: base plate orientation, span not correlating with existing wall or column locations. Column bearing surfaces are of unequal height

•  Not enough contingency time is built into the construction time-line

• Life Safety and OSHAC considerations aren’t thoroughly addressed.

When a large material handling system is planned for and then implemented as part of a new construction effort, everyone involved can thank their lucky stars. This can be labeled a “best case” scenario, with ample time for planning and installation. More often than not, a client needs to integrate a new material handling system within an existing structure already in full operation.

Two common mistakes that can lead to “worst-case” scenarios when installing an add-on platform (mezzanine) are:

1.      Putting the cart before the horse:

Insufficient planning regarding how construction can impact daily operations can be costly.
A large east coast appliance company needed an efficient material handling solution built within its 500,000 square foot warehouse to accommodate the company’s imminent launch into the small-electronics market. The primary objective was to provide optimum efficiency, handling and delivery of small electronic goods to its customers arriving at a will-call location.

The warehouse space, initially set up to handle large carton items like refrigerators and washers, required space for an additional 10,000 electronic SKUs.

Working under a tight three-week production deadline, a 14,000 sq. ft. custom wide-span platform (mezzanine) was designed and built over the facility’s existing dock area with compliance to code and clearance requirements. The platform (mezzanine) span had to correlate with the building’s column span of 44’ and handle a load of 150 Psi.
