How To Save Floor Space With ProStak Storage Systems

When is comes to saving floor space th ProStak Storage System out performs any conventional storage system. In the example below an injection mold company has eight injection mold machines and some conventional pallet racking. The pallet rack is spaced to allow for a conventional forklift to access each aisle. On the left two rack sections the owner has stored maintenance and process materials.
 On the right two rack sections the owner has stored the injection molds. Now the owner just received a new order and needs four more machines to meet the demand. What are his options? 1) He could expand his building at $125.00/sq ft and increased taxes. 2) He can relocate to a new facility and have to shut down for three months loosing thousands of dollars a week. 3) He could purchase a ProStak Storage System.

By purchasing a ProStak Storage System all of the maintenance and process materials could be stored in the system on the left. The system on the right would then be used to store all of the injection molds needed to produce the products. To simplify matters you could combine these two systems into one storage system with a side access aisle.

By reducing the amount of space needed to store the maintenance equipment, process materials and injection molds, the owner would than be able to add four new injection mold machines in his existing facility. So by purchasing a ProStak Storage System this company was able to reduce storage space, increase floor space for new equipment, save money and increase revenue.
