In order to maintain it’s excellence standards in a highly competitive market, Chifles has been needing to keep up with the high volume demands from customers. The company decided that by expanding their facility and optimizing their operations, they would be equipped to provide customers with industry-leading distribution services with an even greater scale to support growth.

For the new Distribution Center in Miami, Florida we were approached to offer a competitive storage solution to store multiple types of products. All stored-on pallets with various different pallet types.

The solution offered was a standard adjustable pallet racking system configured with three different bay profiles to suit the different pallet sizes, the quantities to store and the handling equipment employed. Double deep racks where used to save space and allow more storage.

Combining different rack frame depths and beam capacities using a racking system that is adjustable in height.

Rack protection equipment was also utilized in the project to protect the racking from forklift and pallet jack impact. We installed Rack-End protectors to safeguard the row ends, where vehicle traffic is high accessing the aisles. Bullnose protectors were installed on all posts to protect the bottom 4 inches of the uprights (this section is very vulnerable and impact is common) in order to prevent costly accidents.

The project was completed in the set required time for the warehouse to be operational as specified.
