Convenience Store Giant

At Storage Solutions, we are all about selling solutions. When our customer needed racking for their convenience store warehouse in a high seismic zone, but didn’t have the room for the extra large base-plates, our team was able to solve the problem with tube rack!

Their Problem / Our solution:

The customer needed new racking in a new warehouse to serve a convenience store giant.  The warehouse is located in a high seismic zone, and standard racking would require very large base-plates.

Our team utilized tube racking, and the base-plate size was greatly reduced allowing more product space on the floor.

Products installed

  • Tube Rack
  • Wire Decking
  • Pallet Supports
  • Gravity Conveyor
  • Carton Flow

Like we have mentioned before, the Storage Solutions installation team travels all across the United States for projects. No project is ever the same. They range from 5,000 square feet to 2 million square feet! If you are interested in working with our team on you next project, give us a call at 866.474.2001.

This week of our Project Spotlight Series we’re going to cover seismic zones. A seismic zone is a region that has consistent seismic activity. Each region across the United States is given a rating that ranges from a low seismic area (0) to an extremely high seismic area (4).

Most extremely high seismic zones are located along fault lines. Project California is located in a seismic zone 4. This is why we installed Tube Rack Designed for these special seismic conditions.

In order to regulate construction in the state and promote health, safety and general welfare of the public, California requires specific licensing for our industry to do business.

We are proud to share with you that our team member, Vince Zito, studied long and hard and passed the Contractors State License Board exam!

California, like us here at Storage Solutions, wants to ensure that construction is performed in a safe, competent and professional manner.

Vince said, “Storage Solutions is always willing and ready to go that extra mile to ensure our customers are getting the best possible service available, and we will do whatever it takes to get there.  If we need to take a test and expand our knowledge on different state and local laws, we’ll do it!”

Check back next week for the latest progress on Project California!

For the next Project Spotlight Series, we are taking you to the sunshine state! That’s right, the Storage Solutions installation team is in California. This project is a bit different because the 390,000 sq. ft. facility is in a seismic zone. The rack and bin mezzanine being installed had to be specially designed to accomodate the seismic regulations.
