Pipe Supplier

Cantilever Racking System Boosts Warehouse Capacity

In the bustling landscape of industrial growth, companies often grapple with the challenge of optimizing storage space to accommodate escalating demands. Such was the case with a pipe supplier in Delta, BC, facing exponential growth and the pressing need for enhanced pipe storage rack solutions—Cue Hi-Cube, offering innovative cantilever warehouse racking systems tailored to meet the unique needs of this established business.

Challenges Faced

The pipe supplier encountered several challenges. As the company expanded its operations, the demand for storage space surged beyond the existing capacity, posing a significant logistical hurdle. A notable portion of the company’s inventory, including different style pipes, fittings, valves, and more, overflowed into the yard, leading to a cluttered and disorganized workspace. This hindered operational efficiency and posed safety concerns for the workforce.

Solutions

  • Recognizing the need for a comprehensive pipe storage solution, Hi-Cube employed a structural cantilever racking system—a multi-level storage apparatus tailored for storing bulky and irregularly shaped items to effectively house the diverse array of pipe product lines previously scattered across the yard.
  • This heavy-duty 200-foot-long system, with a maximum load weight of 9000 lbs, optimizes vertical space utilization while ensuring easy accessibility to inventory. Each column, standing at a height of 21 feet, consists of 8 cantilever rack arms, enhancing its functionality and storage capacity.
  • Hi-Cube adopted a collaborative approach, working closely with key stakeholders to develop and implement a tailored warehouse cantilever racking storage strategy.
  • Through thorough management and seamless coordination, Hi-Cube ensured a cohesive and integrated approach in every stage of the process, from the initial consultation, permit coordination, and engineering to installation, ultimately ensuring the project’s success.
