About Company

Founded in Miami, Florida, in 1998, TUUCI—The Ultimate Umbrella Company, Inc.—is a global designer and manufacturer of high-end architectural shade structures, commercial parasols, cabanas, and outdoor furnishings. Founder Dougan Clarke drew on his experience as a marine rigger to create durable, nautically inspired products engineered for demanding outdoor environments.

From its Miami headquarters and primary manufacturing facility, TUUCI serves commercial, hospitality, residential, and marine markets worldwide. Its products combine architectural design, skilled craftsmanship, and marine-grade construction to provide lasting performance in a wide range of environments. TUUCI’s manufacturing operations involve long structural and linear materials, including extruded aluminum, structural steel, marine-grade timber, and flexible composite rods. Keeping these specialized materials organized and readily accessible is essential to supporting an efficient production process.

Project Scope

TUUCI’s Miami manufacturing facility required a more efficient way to store the long structural and linear profiles used throughout its production operations. With limited floor space available, materials such as extruded aluminum, structural steel, marine-grade timber, and flexible composite rods needed to be organized within a compact footprint while remaining clearly separated and easily accessible.

The varying lengths, shapes, and physical characteristics of these materials made conventional shelving impractical. TUUCI needed a high-density storage system that could maximize available space, improve material organization, and provide reliable access to individual profiles without disrupting the facility’s manufacturing workflow.

The Solution

To address these requirements, Atlantic Rack served exclusively as the installation contractor for this project. TUUCI selected a Honeycomb Rack system developed by Roll Out Racks. Designed specifically for long materials, the system features a compact arrangement of individual storage compartments that allows tubes, bars, profiles, lumber, and other linear products to be organized separately while making efficient use of both vertical and horizontal space. Its modular configuration was well suited for TUUCI’s diverse inventory of extruded aluminum, structural steel, marine-grade timber, and flexible composite rods.

The system consolidates these materials within a smaller footprint while keeping individual profiles visible, organized, and directly accessible for production. Specialized trays can also support thin or flexible materials, helping prevent them from shifting or becoming difficult to handle during storage.

The Implementation

Atlantic Rack’s installation team coordinated the assembly and placement of the Honeycomb Rack system within TUUCI’s Miami manufacturing facility. Because the structure contains numerous closely arranged storage compartments, the installation required careful sequencing, precise alignment, and secure anchoring to ensure that every section was properly positioned according to the provided specifications.

Working within the facility’s limited available space, the team assembled the modular components and integrated the completed system into the designated storage area. Atlantic Rack’s installation experience helped ensure that this unique, high-density structure was installed accurately and efficiently, preparing it for TUUCI’s long structural and linear materials while minimizing interference with the surrounding manufacturing environment.

The Benefits

The system provides organized, high-density storage for long materials, reducing the need to store products on the floor and helping improve warehouse safety and organization. By keeping materials properly supported and easily accessible, the Honeycomb Rack also helps streamline handling and retrieval while maximizing vertical storage space.

  • Maximizes the use of limited floor and vertical space through a compact, high-density configuration.
  • Organizes extruded aluminum, structural steel, marine-grade timber, and flexible composite rods in dedicated compartments.
  • Provides clear visibility and direct access to stored materials.
  • Simplifies material identification, retrieval, and return.
  • Reduces unnecessary handling and movement of unrelated inventory.
  • Supports a cleaner, more organized manufacturing environment.
  • Accommodates long materials of varying sizes, shapes, and characteristics.
  • Helps protect stored profiles by keeping them separated and securely supported.

The Project Highlights

The installation of the Honeycomb Rack system provided TUUCI with an organized, high-density storage solution suited to the long and varied materials used in its manufacturing operations. By carefully assembling, aligning, and securing this specialized system, Atlantic Rack helped ensure that it was properly integrated into the company’s limited facility space.

This unique project demonstrates Atlantic Rack’s ability to execute complex industrial installations with precision and efficiency. Atlantic Rack’s role was limited exclusively to installation services; the company did not design, manufacture, or sell the Honeycomb Rack system.
