Problem
Inventory Was Difficult To Manage. Material Was Stored Inside And Outside Of The Main Building . Due To The Large Aisles Required For Forklifts The Building Storage Capacity Was Severely Under Used.
Alternatives
Conventional Fork Lifts And Standard Pallet Racking Were Currently Being Used.
Rapistak Solution
One (1) 2,000 Lb. Capacity Double Aisle Prostak System
& Nine (9) Modular Cabinets.
Benefit Of Using The Prostak System
The Prostak System Created Additional Storage Space In An Existing Area. One Way This Is Accomplished Is With Narrow Aisles. The Aisles Were Reduced From 12’-0” Down To 7’-10”. This Allowed Two Additional Rows Of Rack To Be Installed. The Prostak Now Utilizes An Area Of Only 1,920 Sq. Feet.
A Second Way It Did This Is Through Increased Storage Density. The Original Pallet Racking Used Fixed Storage Levels. There Was A Tremendous Amount Of Wasted Space Due To The Variety Of Product Stored In The Rack. While Some Material Was Only A Few Inches Tall, Other Items Were As Tall As 36”-48”. The Standard Pallet Rack Was Not Capable Of Maximum Storage Density. The Prostak System Solves This Problem With Captive Steel Pallets Which Are Removable And Adjustable On 4” Vertical Increments. Now, Rack Openings & Storage Levels Are Custom Made With The Placement Of Each Pallet Load. The Rack Systems Fluid Design Allows For Constant Change In Material Size Without Compromising Storage Density.
A Double Aisle Prostak System Was Chosen To Eliminate The Up Front Cost Of Purchasing Two Single Aisle Stackers. Maintaining Only One Stacker Instead Of Two Reduces Long Term Miantenance Costs As Well. Navigation Of The Double Aisle System Is Improved With A Center And End Of Aisle Crossover Allowing The Stacker To Move Between Aisles.
Many Smaller Components Such As Nuts, Bolts, Fuses, Etc. Are Stored In (9) Modular Storage Cabinets. The Cabinets Were Chosen With A Variety Of Customizable Drawer Layouts. This Allows The Customer Flexibility In Selecting The Best Storage Layout For Their Material.
