What material handling equipment works best for manufacturing facilities?
Manufacturing facilities typically need systems that keep raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods organized without interrupting production flow. Jorgenson Material Handling plans pallet rack, shelving, cabinets, workstations, carts and safety barriers around the facility layout and material movement.
Common applications
- Raw-material and component storage
- Work-in-process staging
- Tool, parts and maintenance storage
- Finished-goods and shipping areas
Planning considerations
Document load sizes and weights, replenishment frequency, aisles, lift-truck requirements, production clearances and expected growth.
Maintenance considerations
Inspect racks, shelving, carts, workstations and barriers routinely. Damaged components, loose anchors and impacts should be evaluated before normal use resumes.
Questions about planning an industry storage project
What information should I gather before requesting a quote?
Start with photos or drawings, available dimensions, ceiling height, doors and columns, stored-item sizes and weights, quantities, handling equipment and the project timeline.
How do I choose the right material handling system?
The right system depends on what is stored, how often it moves, required access, available space, handling equipment, safety requirements and expected growth. A site review helps compare practical options.
Why use a professional installation crew?
Correct installation affects alignment, anchoring, capacity and safe operation. Experienced crews follow approved drawings, identify field conflicts and coordinate work around the facility.
