Maximize Storage, Increase Productivity and Improve Safety

Solutions to whatever material handling problem you face from design, engineering and integration of complex systems. Extensive line of stacker cranes, standard overhead cranes, laser guided vehicles (LGV), vertical carousels & VLM's to basic storage needs like modular drawer cabinets, workstations and pullout shelving. See how stacker cranes have helped companies solve their storage/production needs.

Automotive Solutions

Problem: Handling bulky and oddly shaped truck frames efficiently off of rail cars. There were a number of different size and shape truck frames to be handled at any given time. The top of the rail car platforms was approximately 5 feet above the finished floor. Lastly, the floor space was restricted.

Government Solutions

Problem: Lack of organization with component storage led to reduced productivity of the employee. Time was wasted looking for various parts and then attempting to retrieve them. This created a bottleneck that negatively affected the entire production process.

Utility Solutions

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.

Plastic/Rubber Solutions

Problem: The customer was currently storing molds inan old pull out shelving system. The quantity of molds grew to a point that a lot of the molds would no longer fit in the shelves and were scattered all over the floor. This resulted in a lot of wasted time in just trying to locate the mold required for each changeover cycle. Also, once the mold was found it took two to three people to retrieve it. Back strains and other injuries were a result of this operation as well as reduced production on the injection mold machines.

Tool & Die Solutions

Problem: The customer wanted to increase their die changeover times

Metal Processing Solutions

Problem: Customer needed to add a new production equipment line without adding a new addition to the current building. The casting molds were stored using pullout shelving and located in two different areas, one area was the main storage area and a second area. This second area is where the customer wanted to put the new production equipment. Secondary problems included ergonomic issues and cycle times using the current pullout shelving systems.

Rolls: Paper/Film Solutions

Problem: Rolls required handling through the cores to prevent damage to the film. A person had to assemble special supports for each roll so it could be stored in standard pallet racking. This added another step in the manufacturing process while taking up a lot of floor space. Raw material and finished roll storage was spread throughout the plant that resulted in long machine changeover times (and machine downtime) and also made it difficult to pull orders for finished product.

Chemical Solutions

Problem: The customer's business was expanding but their plant capacity was fully utilized.

Aircraft Solutions
Problem: Floor space in the existing facility is fully utilized. Customer required a better way of storing and organizing the engines prior to repair. Customer has plenty of vertical space but could not find a storage solution which could handle the large & bulky engines.

General Solutions

Problem: The customer had a space available that was less than 500 square feet and was surrounded by production equipment. Space was at a premium.
