Geringhoff - Expansion of a parts warehouse
Project details: Industry: Agriculture/manufacturing Objective: Increase capacity for an existing parts warehouse META products installed: META CLIP boltless shelving system - Multi-tier system The challenge and the solution Replacing Geringhoff's existing storage system with a META CLIP two-level shelving system helped the company increase the storage capacity needed to serve the growing agricultural industry in the Midwestern United States. The META CLIP boltless shelving system, with a footprint of approximately 3,518 square feet, provides over 32,450 square feet of storage space with 3,124 shelves. The system has both single-sided and double-sided shelves for easier access to products and more storage space. The extremely torsion-resistant construction ensures safety and durability with varying dimensions. The flooring is made from ResinDek Panels' robust and hard-wearing B-Deck, which has been specially developed for industrial-grade mezzanine floors. The state-of-the-art safety equipment includes railings, safety doors (swing doors) and a staircase. The swing doors ensure safe handling of materials and provide additional protection for the entire racking system. The great flexibility of the META products allows Geringhoff to increase its storage capacity to meet its current and future storage needs. Geringhoff can continue to modify these shelves by adjusting the shelf height (in 1" increments), adding additional shelf levels or removing excess levels. The increased capacity and efficiency will give Geringhoff the flexibility it needs to continue to grow its successful US business.
"The whole experience with META was very positive and efficient. It is a huge undertaking to completely revamp an established parts department. We were able to get the job done in about 6 weeks. The META container was delivered on time along with FTLs of decking. The fitters were able to fit everything very quickly. The whole project ran smoothly.
The META system is incredibly easy to handle. All the shelves were installed uniformly, but moving and adjusting a shelf is simple and easy. The mezzanine floor has significantly increased our shelving capacity. The mezzanine offers a loading area with a rotating safety gate on both sides. This allows for easy and safe loading and unloading from the mezzanine.
Geringhoff has expanded its product range beyond corn heads and now also offers headers for small grains, soybeans, sunflowers and millet. As the product range expands, so does the need for support for the products. The spare parts department has grown to accommodate this expansion. Our new META system will continue to help us meet the new storage and organization requirements."
