Long Part Finished Order Truck Load Accumulation and Staging System

The cantilever rack system provides staging space for long building frame components in conjunction with a narrow aisle four-directional forklift guided by rails mounted to the cantilever rack structure. The system provides complete interior staging of all shipments to eliminate possible weather-related degradation.

Purchased Parts Rack Supported Mezzanine and Kitting Cells

A reconfiguration of available vertical space was needed to consolidate multiple MRO parts kitting operations onto a flexible mezzanine system. A combination rack-supported mezzanine and free-standing mezzanine were built to consolidate the operations. The design eliminates the need for order picking forklifts and rolling ladders used in the prior selective rack small item order picking process. The design significantly increases the pick rate per labor hour, resulting in indirect labor savings while producing kits in substantially less time.

Wide Aisle Selective Rack and Order Picking System

100% accessibility of low velocity products can be achieved by using a variety of selective rack designs with conventional, narrow aisle, or very narrow aisle forklift equipment. Specific designs are developed based on the available building area, building height, and other limitations discovered during a site visit and system design and development.

Narrow Aisle Selective Rack System

100% accessibility of low velocity products can be achieved by using a variety of selective rack designs with conventional, narrow aisle, or very narrow aisle forklift equipment. Specific designs are developed based on the available building area, building height, and other limitations discovered during a site visit and system design and development.

Finished Goods Transportation & Sorting System w/ VNA Selective Rack Storage & Order Picking System

The integrated system shown provided staging of flat retail and case packaging, rolled raw and work-in-process materials, a shared finished package take-away and sortation conveyor system, a finished goods very narrow aisle warehouse racking system, and a case picking, packing, and shipping cell. The system allowed for the merging of several smaller manufacturing operations into a centralized manufacturing and distribution operation.

Crane Based Die Storage System

The end customer was in need of a centralized die storage system to better manage the inventory of dies used within their production processes. The provided system was designed to work beneath an existing overhead craneway and also to utilize concrete footers that had been installed earlier for cantilever racks that the customer had relocated.

Maintenance Crib Rack Supported Mezzanine and Work Stations

The rack-supported mezzanine with workstations provides a greater work area for the maintenance department while allowing spare parts to be staged in the rack shelf levels below. It also limits access to the maintenance department's tools by unauthorized personnel. (Stairs omitted for visual clarity)

100% Inspectable Finished Product Accumulation Buffer

A plastics supplier needed a cost-effective way to increase their storage capacity and improve their first-in, first-out inventory tracking due to frequent customer-required physical inventories. The provided customized gravity flow system allowed that by providing a multi-level flow system with personnel walk aisles in place of the current floor-loaded system. The walk aisles allowed the customer to inspect and touch any load within the gravity flow cell without risking harm to the associate working within the system.

Work-in-Process KanBan Gravity Flow Rack Cell for Palletized Products

A roll-up door manufacturer needed to optimize the staging ability of their standard door components, which were long and heavy, while retaining first-in, first-out throughput capability. TSG took the layout of the building and provided a system that increased the area’s floor-loaded capacity by double and eliminated the multiple numbers of times a load was touched as the forklift drivers had to "dig" the desired load out of the floor-stacked configuration.

Long Part Raw Materials Staging and Picking Crane Cell

The provided crane and roll-out cantilever rack system is designed to assist associates in picking steel rod, tube, or structural components for delivery to a neighboring fabrication department. The combined crane and roll-out cantilever rack system provide direct access to every product being stored and virtually eliminate double and triple load handling to access any specific raw material. This streamlined process improves efficiency and reduces the risk of errors in material handling.
