Work Cell Staging Rack

The Work Cell Staging Rack makes it easy to visually organize your work-in-progress parts.

The tower’s small footprint lets you comfortably stack 16 pallets in the space usually used for one and a dual side-by-side version fits 32 pallets in the typical space of two. When all current jobs are staged in the assigned tower, you can easily see whether a work cell is busy or vacant.

We suggest a cartridge tower near every department or each machine, depending on your facility and workload.

WHY LEAN?

What makes LEAN the best option for your Work-In-Progress storage?

Modularly Stackability / Extendability

Our Work-in-Progress Storage Racks are designed modulary to grow with your operationial needs. After starting with a "base" unit, you can continue adding vertical tiers, or additional columns into the existing base.

Safety for material handlers

Instead of a fragile wooden pallet, the LEAN cartridges offer a rugged steel weldment for outlasting the rigors of a typical shop flooor.

Solid Top Surface

By using a solid top sheet, your small-cut parts are always supported. Likewise, you do not need to work around uneven or damaged wood crossmembers; material stays level & balanced.

Reduced Storage Footprint

LEAN Work Cell Staging racks maximize storage density, while still providing independent access to all the flat stock or blanks you need to manage.

Easy Forklift Handling

Our work cell staging cartridges feature enlarged 3" × 10" forklift pockets, designed to provide a smoother, easier material-handling experience for operators.

Best Quality On The Market

Our storage racks are engineered using high-strength steel, precision machine welding, and an industrial-grade powder-coat finish—delivering durability you can rely on in demanding environments. Multiple standard color options are available to match your brand.

'Cartridges Only' are an option

If you're simply looking to replace wooden pallets, our steel paallets can still be used on your traditional pallet racking, until you're ready for the full upgrade package. Simply replacing the wooden pallets on your shop floor serves as a great first step.
