Selective Rack and Cantilever Rack for Building Material Company

Case Study: Optimized Storage Solutions for Building Products Industry – Selective Rack and Cantilever Racking

Storage Type: Selective Rack and Cantilever Rack
Site Location: Calgary
Project Size: 50,000 sqft of Selective Rack, Cantilevers, and Bankers
Industry: Building Products

Main Challenges:

A leading company in the building products industry was relocating to a new facility in Calgary and needed an efficient storage solution for a variety of materials. The project came with several challenges:

• The materials to be stored varied in size, shape, and weight, requiring different storage configurations.

• The move had to be completed on a tight timeline to ensure minimal disruption to operations.

• Some of the existing storage materials had to be dismantled, transported, and reused at the new location.

Trimet’s Solution:

Understanding the complexity of the project, Trimet designed a fully customized storage system. Selective Rack solutions were implemented to accommodate high-access inventory while ensuring flexibility for different material specifications. Cantilever racks were also incorporated to store long and bulky items effectively.

To meet the tight timeline, Trimet coordinated multiple installation teams working simultaneously, ensuring an expedited and seamless setup. This approach allowed the project to stay on schedule without compromising quality.

Additionally, Trimet efficiently dismantled the required storage systems from the old site, transported them, and reassembled them in the new facility. By carefully planning the relocation process, Trimet minimized downtime and ensured a smooth transition.

Outcome:

The new storage system significantly improved space utilization and efficiency for the client. The Selective Rack system provided organized, accessible storage for a diverse range of building materials. The combination of Selective Rack and cantilever racks ensured that all products were stored optimally, enhancing overall workflow. Thanks to Trimet’s precise planning and execution, the client successfully transitioned to their new facility with a fully functional, high-efficiency storage system.
