♦ Step2: Proper Storage Solution Selection
In selective warehouse pallet racks, pallets are loaded and unloaded from the front via a lift truck following a First in/First out(FIFO) system. A common layout of the selective pallet racking system in a warehouse usually includes single-row pallet racks ( placed near the wall) and back-to-back pallet racks (two row pallet racks connected by row-spacers), which is ideal for companies with a wider variety of products.
To fully satisfy our client’s requirement, we chose selective pallet racking system for storage and offered a free CAD design of selective pallet rack with all details marked on. In this case, our client required 2000kg loading capacity per layer with 4 layers per bay. For cost-saving, the fist layer pallets are placed on the ground instead of beams.
♦ Step3: Project Details Confirmation
Confirmed the design drawing with our clients then made some adjustments to their satisfaction. Then our engineer chose proper material type and size for this selective pallet rack that are functional, safe and cost-saving.
To be noted that all the pallet racks manufactured by Ironstone are using good quality steel purchased in large national steel plant. And all our professional engineers are trained with rich experience and always put rack safety at the first position. Then we offered our best quotation to our clients considering purchasing quantity and raw material market.
♦ Step4: Order Placement and Production
Our client was satisfied with our price and service, then signed the contract very fast. After payment, we started the production process.
Our manufacture procedures are indicated as follows: Raw-material→Cold rolling→Punch hole→Welding→Half finished→Powder coating→Finished products.
♦ Step5: Quality Management
Ironstone can't emphasis more on product quality and carries out strict quality management from raw materials purchasing to the whole manufacture procedures. Before dispatched from the factory, a whole series of factory examination regulation of racks will be followed for quality guarantee. Besides, a third party quality test is available as our customers' personal request.
♦ Step6: Package and Shippment
For quality and security assurance during the long-distance transportation, Ironstone gives great attention to the package of racks using professional wrapping machine operated by experienced workers.
Commonly used package materials for bulk product include plastic stretch film, corrugated paper, wooden bars, crates, and metal strips, etc. While for relatively small volume components and accessories, carton boxes and pallets can provide better support and protection. As different customers' personal requirement, special customized packages are also available.
In addition, for custmers' benefits, our engineers always choose the proper size containers and try to take full advantages of the container space, especially with the rising shipping cost situation around the world.
