Project Scope

Universal Freight Logistics approached Atlantic Rack with a specific need: organize and streamline the storage of large quantities of garments and fabric rolls within their warehouse. Their main goal at their new facility was to find a storage solution that could:

Maximize use of vertical storage space.
Keep rolled clothing and fabrics easily accessible.
Improve overall warehouse organization.
Prevent product damage and tangling.
Speed up handling and retrieval processes.

After evaluating the layout and type of inventory stored, Atlantic Rack proposed the installation of Reel Rack Axle Brackets — a simple yet highly effective system to manage garments and cylindrical or rolled goods. The solution was designed to integrate seamlessly into their existing racking infrastructure while supporting high-volume garment storage with minimal footprint.

The Solution

After assessing the storage challenges and layout of Universal ‘s facility, Atlantic Rack proposed the installation of Reel Rack Axle Brackets. These brackets are specifically designed to hold rods or axles, allowing rolls of fabric or garments to be suspended securely between uprights. This setup transforms standard pallet racks into highly efficient reel storage systems, perfect for managing bulky or cylindrical inventory.

The brackets were quickly integrated into the existing racking structure with minimal disruption to daily operations. Once in place, the system provided immediate improvements in space utilization, accessibility, and product handling. Garment rolls were now neatly organized, easy to retrieve, and safely stored — reducing clutter and boosting warehouse efficiency.

The Implementation

The installation process was simple and efficient. Atlantic Rack’s team worked closely with Universal Freight Logistics to map out the optimal layout for the reel rack system based on their inventory flow. The Reel Rack Axle Brackets were mounted onto existing selective pallet rack uprights, with steel rods inserted through the garment rolls to create suspended storage. The project was completed with minimal downtime, allowing the warehouse to stay operational throughout the setup. Within a short timeframe, the system was fully functional and ready to support daily operations.

Benefits

The new reel rack system brought immediate improvements to Universal Freight Logistics’ warehouse operations. By utilizing vertical space more effectively, the brackets helped declutter the floor and create clear, organized aisles. Staff could now quickly locate and access garments, significantly reducing handling time and improving workflow. The suspended storage method also protected delicate fabrics from creasing, tangling, or damage, ensuring that items remained in perfect condition for clients. This simple yet powerful upgrade increased storage capacity, enhanced productivity, and created a more professional, streamlined environment.

Conclusion

With the installation of Reel Rack Axle Brackets, Universal Freight Logistics successfully transformed a cluttered, inefficient space into a well-organized and highly functional garment storage system.

Increased Efficiency: The reel rack system allowed for faster organization, loading, and retrieval of garments. This streamlined the day-to-day operations and minimized downtime during order preparation.

Improved Safety: By keeping clothing suspended and off the floor, the brackets eliminated reduced the risk of product damage.

By partnering with Atlantic Rack, Universal Freight Logistics proved that the right storage upgrade doesn’t have to be complex to make a lasting impact.
