L&M Fleet Supply was ready to expand its distribution network and identified Grand Rapids, MN as the ideal location to support its operations. With a greenfield facility in the works, they needed a partner who could guide them from the earliest stages of construction through to a fully operational distribution center. That’s where Storage Solutions came in.
Customer Goals
Expand
distribution capabilities to support growth.
Meet
an aggressive timeline.
Optimize
layout and permitting for a complex product mix.
L&M Fleet Supply engaged Storage Solutions early in the process to help shape the layout and functionality of their new facility. Our team provided a full suite of services – including permitting, project management, and installation – to ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.
This project involved several unique complexities, including a tight timeline that spanned multiple major holidays and severe winter conditions. Additionally, the commodity class of the products being stored required specialized fire protection and permitting considerations. Thanks to our experienced installation and permitting teams, we were able to efficiently navigate these hurdles and keep the project on track.
From layout design to final installation, our team worked closely with L&M to deliver a solution tailored to their operational needs and long-term goals.
The Results
L&M Fleet Supply’s new facility now features over 1,000 bays of pallet racking and more than 13,000 pallet positions. The installation also included aerosol and gun cages, pallet rack protection, labeling, and both vertical and horizontal fire baffles to meet safety requirements.
