How Steel Shelves are Useful in Managing Storage Solutions

A lack of storage is a common problem for many commercial and industrial businesses, as well as government entities. Used for a variety of reasons, including organizing documents, auto parts, retail merchandise, medical equipment, books, and much more, the appropriate industrial storage shelves will prevent things from becoming chaotic. Among the different products available, steel shelves are an excellent solution. 

As with any product, some are of outstanding quality, while others fall short of expectations. Therefore, if a supply chain manager’s goal is better organization, it is imperative that they look at the right type of shelving systems. For example, lite-duty shelving works great for relatively light objects, whereas heavy-duty steel shelves are often a better choice for heavier and bulkier items.

Of course, supply chain managers usually request custom shelving. Customized shelves are designed according to specific needs, as well as boltless storage shelves; RiveTier® is a prime example of the latter. Especially if space is limited and value is considered, boltless storage shelves are ideal. Professional installers need only one tool when assembling RiveTier®.

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.
