HANDLING & STORAGE
guard rail products. I-beam cantilever steel storage racks allow access from both sides. This design saves horizontal space normally lost to rack structure, reduces fork truck damage, and allows for faster load and unload times. The Steel King I-beam cantilever racking
is built for longevity, with structural steel construction and a 50,000 psi minimum yield. A heavy arm connector plate and bolted column-to-base connections adds to durability. Metal services businesses often use I-beam cantilever racking to store items such as pipe, tubing, rolls, steel bars, sheet steel, and structural members. The cantilever racking is comprised of
more than 1,000 double-sided columns, more than 30,000 arms and more than
15,000 linear feet of structural metal for guard rails. “It took 70 truckloads to deliver the racking and guard rail elements – all which came at a pace whereby installers never had to stop their work,” notes Mike Scarlati of Container Systems. Continuing: “This was a huge order, and
what made it work was Steel King’s ability to get the product out on time, so installers always had buildable material on hand.” “The racking system was able to have
narrower aisles – and thus have a greater storage density – through an engineering solution designed by Steel King,” says Kurt Larson, the company’s regional Sales Manager. “Our engineers designed notches in rails to guide Combilift AGVvehicles, which meant that more space could be
dedicated to racking rather than to aisles. “The new racking system is allowing
CS&W to operate more efficiently and with greater productivity. It also will let the company adjust racking to meet changing needs. In the previous facility, the racking elements were all welded, so adjustments could not be made. With our system, they’ll be able to reconfigure the racking to accommodate changing storage needs.” Metal companies like CS&W that seek
to dramatically improve the efficiency of their material handling will benefit from working with experienced partners that can tailor industry best practice solutions to their specific requirements.
