Streamline the Process with Expert Design & Installation Services from Apex!

Merging three distribution centers into one sounds like a smart and cost-efficient move, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy one. The new facility must unite a wide range of products, load sizes, and weights in a warehouse design that supports safe, efficient flow and inventory access. Luckily the Apex team is a full-service provider that can bring it all together and take the pressure off this busy customer. Apex warehouse design and engineering worked seamlessly with our project management and professional installation staff to bring the customer’s vision to life.

Project Challenges

Tight 4-month timeline
Uneven floors

Apex designed and installed a selective rack system that could store both the unique pallet sizes and standard loads. The warehouse design team engineered the racking systems and suggested the most effective material handling equipment for accessing the system vs. working backward from forklift style to accommodating rack.

The pallet racking is equipped with steel column guards and end-row guards to protect against equipment strikes. Additionally, the pallet shelves are topped with wire decking for non-palletized items and to protect against falling pallets or inventory.

This was a big project, a fast project, and a successful project. What can the Apex team do for you? Call today to discuss your warehousing challenges and future plans.
