Storage Rack Systems - Case Studies
Badcock & More
The Problem:
Badcock sales dictated that they consolidate two of their Georgia distribution centers into one mega-center geographically located in the center of their AL and GA store locations.
The Solution:
- Worked together with Badcock ownership, warehouse operations VP and director of transportation for over a year.
- Designed a narrow aisle solution that included 36’ high x 42”, 74” and 84” deep pallet racking. All rack aisles were angle guided for 58” narrow aisles utilizing high reach platform trucks.
- Allowed Badcock to close their Cullman, Alabama and Thompson, Georgia distributions centers and consolidate into one 750,000 square foot mega DC.
- Expect cost savings in operations efficiencies by reducing duplicate storage slots and incoming transportation costs.
Crown Shredding
The Problem:
Crown Shredding purchased a new building for their corporate offices in Winter Haven. The owner wanted something to do with the additional space they had designed into the new facility.
The Solution:
- FHS, Inc. worked together with the owner, to evaluate options for the space and determine the best possible use for the space.
- Because the additional built out space was high bay, we suggested that Crown utilize the space for a new archive storage venture.
- FHS, Inc. engineered, designed provided and installed a “Turn-Key” 4-level archive storage racking system with punch decks and special floor supports due to the sub-par capacity of the concrete pad. FHS, Inc. managed the installation of the sprinkler system and lighting.
- Because the system and new venture was so successful, Crown Shredding installed a second addition to the system (which is now full) and we are currently designing the final third phase to be implemented in the spring of 2018.
