Sheet Metal Storage Racks

To increase your capacity, throughput, and profits! Sheet metal handling and storage is one of the most overlooked aspects of fabrication businesses; without good processes in place, fabricators get buried in their own material without ever capturing those costs. Material handling costs are very real, and they add up extremely quickly.

Loaded question! This largely depends on your size, variety, volume, footprint, and other factors. In a nutshell, it starts with allowing for quick & independent access to your material, while also decreasing your current storage footprint. Once you minimize time and reduce space, you’ll begin to reap the benefits of efficient FIFO control, protected material, and protected operators.

1. Measure; perform time studies. If your operators/runners track time spent daily locating/unburying/handling material, you’ll quickly realize where you need to place priority.
