Custom Aerospace Storage Boosts Warehouse Efficiency

When an aerospace company in Langley, BC specializing in parts, repairs, and overhauls relocated to a new warehouse, they saw an opportunity to improve storage capacity, organization, and workflow efficiency.

With construction underway at the new facility, they partnered with Hi-Cube Storage Products to design and install a storage solution that would support inventory, streamline operations, and maximize vertical space while integrating seamlessly into an active build environment.

Challenges Faced

The client required a storage system that could:

  • Maximize capacity within the new warehouse footprint
  • Organize aerospace components for efficient access
  • Repurpose existing shelving to keep the project budget-conscious
  • Meet engineered load and safety requirements
  • Coordinate installation alongside ongoing construction activities

Solutions

  • Hi-Cube designed and installed a structural warehouse mezzanine system measuring 511 square feet to capitalize on vertical space and expand storage capacity without increasing floor area.
  • Mezzanine shelving was strategically repurposed from existing shelving units, maximizing usable storage while maintaining cost-efficiency.
  • To provide direct access to parts and support efficient daily operations, Hi-Cube installed a selective pallet racking system tailored to the client’s inventory needs:
    • 4 bays of selective racking (1 row, 2 bays per section)
    • 144” width x 192” height x 42” depth
    • 5 shelf levels
    • 800 lb capacity per shelf
  • This configuration ensures organized parts storage while allowing quick retrieval and smooth workflow.
  • From concept through completion, Hi-Cube managed the entire project, including:
    • Engineering and system design
    • Supply of materials
    • Professional installation
    • Final inspection
  • With the warehouse still under active construction, including the flooring, painting, plumbing, and other trades, our team worked closely with the general contractor to coordinate timelines and maintain productivity.
