At McGee Storage and Handling, we help you to not only implement the most efficient storage and racking systems but also guide you in finding the equipment that matches your warehouse design and the jobs you need done to make your operation lean. Optimizing your warehouse is not just about having the best equipment in the market, the key factor to maximizing efficiency is matching your storage solutions and your equipment. Whether you are in the early stages of building your warehouse or simply ordering new equipment, ensuring that your equipment fits the space and task at hand will allow your operation to reach its full potential.
The layout of your warehouse should directly influence the material handling equipment you are utilizing. Mismatches in design and equipment can create bottlenecks, unutilized space, and increase labor costs. Our solutions encompass a variety of systems designed to optimize your space and create a seamless operation between equipment and warehouse.
Implementing the Right Racking Solutions
Misused racking can create safety hazards, structural damage, and put your productivity at risk especially when the design is not mindful of the equipment and product that will be interacting with your racking system. Ensuring your storage system can handle the weight of your inventory and still allow for your equipment to perform efficiently is essential to furthering your operations success.
Common Mistakes when Purchasing Equipment without Space Consideration
1. Attachment Incompatibility
Using the available attachment rather than an attachment designed for the job at hand can not only be inefficient but also put your equipment, racking, and product at risk.
2. Clearance Conflicts
When equipment is too high for the warehouse your structural and employee safety is at risk. Alternatively, equipment that does not reach high enough can cause jobs to be incomplete and slow down your operation.
Common Mistakes when Designing a Rack without Considering Equipment Need
1. Missed Opportunities for Integration
Designing your racking system without equipment consideration can result in missed opportunities to implement integrated systems or expansion down the line.
2. Overcrowded Layout
Not considering equipment in your design can lead to your facility feeling crowded.
