Have a safe and happy New Years! See you all in 2010!
On behalf of all of us here at Storage Solutions, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! As 2009 draws to an end, we would like to take a look back at all that we have accomplished in the last 12 months.
Back in April we moved to a new facility which provides us with 250,000 sq. feet of inside warehouse storage. The new facility has allowed us to maintain a high quality of material handling and storage equipment by storing everything indoors. We also have 13,000 sq. feet of office space to support our sales team and 100,000 sq. feet of outside storage including 44 docks!
While 2009 has not been the best year for many businesses, we are proud that we have managed to continue to grow and expand over the past 12 months. Back in October we opened a new office in Cincinnati and added a new member to our SSI Sales Team, Patrick Dougherty. We continued the trend by adding Dan Storey to our Online Sales and Marketing team in November.
We are very grateful that we have continued to be successful throughout what has been one of the worst economies in recent history. We hope to continue this trend in the future, and are very excited about the prospects for 2010! See you all next year.
Storage Solutions is proud to be partnered with Speedrack. Speedrack has been at the forefront of the storage products industry for more than 50 years, and they have been responsible for a number of revolutionary designs for racking equipment. From designing the first totally tubular selective rack to the first free standing drive in rack, Speedrack has set the bar high for racking design.
Storage Solutions is committed to providing our clients with industry leading materials and equipment. We are a proud vendor of Speedrack’s selective rack, cantilever rack, and drive-in/drive-thru rack. Together, Storage Solutions and Speedrack help to save you time and money on all your pallet racking needs.
For those of you who don’t know a lot about pallet rack, here are some helpful terms and definitions:
Double-Deep Racks – Usually two rows of selective racks, one placed behind the other, on which pallets may be placed two deep by a double-deep reach truck. Fifty percent of all loads are immediately accessible and, in the worst case, it is necessary to remove the front pallet on any level to have access to the one immediately behind it. Applies to a storage requirement for many pallets of few SKUs.
Automated Storage/Retrieval System (AS/RS) – A combination of equipment and controls, which handles, stores and retrieves materials with precision, accuracy and speed under a defined degree of automation. Systems vary from relatively simple, manually controlled order-picking machines operating in small storage structures to computer-controlled storage and retrieval systems, totally integrated into the manufacturing and distribution process.
Material(s) Handling – 1. An aspect of materials management relating specifically to the physical transfer of materials. 2. The movement of materials (raw materials, scrap, semi-finished and
finished) to, through and from productive processes; in warehouses and storage; and in receiving and shipping areas.
Pallet Rack Shelving – Standard pallet rack can be equipped with shelf panel inserts so that pallet rack can be used for storing binnable, rackable or palletized materials as needs change.
Mezzanine – (pictured right) A platform supported with structural members, used for storage or operations; constructed at a height which permits movement of people and equipment below.
We here at Storage Solutions would like to devote this weeks blog to the new Clearance Section on our website. As you may or may not know, we recently moved into a new, state of the art facility. Our new facility filled up quickly with the used pallet rack that we buy and sell. Unfortunately, we just don’t have enough space to fit everything from our two old warehouses under our new roof. 
So, we have decided that the equipment that is still being stored in our old warehouses will be put on clearance in an effort to sell it a little faster. Some of the items available in our Clearance Section includes utility/service carts, workbenches, office furniture, shelving, and other used warehouse equipment. Please visit the Clearance Section of our website for more information and pricing.
