Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for the design and building of material handling structures and automated guided vehicles has designed and built a heavy-duty storage rack for a manufacturer of electronic charging systems. The rack holds heavy components for internal assembly work cell operations and can be used as an individual rack within a work cell or connected with several racks together with brackets to create a large-scale storage system. The rack could also be useful for general warehousing or pull-to-ship parts.
The rack provides four supply levels with plastic shelving on each level. The size of the rack allows parts to be located on the shelves with or without containers and is open on both sides providing for all around good visibility. The levels allow high performance parts between waist and chest high for easy accessibility, while less performance parts are stored on the lower levels.
Each of the rack’s levels can be repositioned or whole shelf rack customized with only simple tools. Vertical presentation face so levels can easily be moved up/down with only simple tools. Position changes require only a hex wrench.
The rack’s dimensions are 75 3/4" W x 36" D and 79" T and is designed to hold up to 400 lb. per level. The rack features four heavy duty feet threaded for floor leveling capability.
