Manufacturing and distribution operations run on one critical factor: flow. Materials must arrive on time, move efficiently through production, and exit the facility without delay. When storage systems are poorly designed, that flow breaks down—leading to wasted labor, lost space, and missed deadlines.
At Spacesaver Storage Solutions, we design warehouse storage solutions and manufacturing storage systems that support staging, point-of-use access, and finished goods distribution—helping manufacturers operate more efficiently without expanding their footprint.
At its core, manufacturing is simple: inputs come in, products go out. What complicates the process are the countless activities in between—material staging, work-in-progress (WIP) storage, inspection, and distribution—each adding cost through labor, space consumption, and handling.
Well-designed industrial storage solutions reduce unnecessary movement, improve access to materials, and support lean manufacturing initiatives. Storage is no longer just a place to put things—it is a strategic component of productivity and profitability.
While just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing has reduced the need for massive raw material warehouses, most operations still rely on manufacturing staging storage to keep production running smoothly. Ongoing supply chain disruptions have only increased the need for warehouse distribution storage that can hold additional inventory without disrupting workflows.
From small parts to oversized components weighing thousands of pounds, Spacesaver’s heavy-duty warehouse shelving and warehouse racking systems ensure materials are organized, accessible, and production-ready. Proper staging minimizes downtime, reduces material handling, and keeps manufacturing schedules on track.
Spacesaver’s nationwide network of local experts works directly with your team to analyze workflows and design layouts that improve efficiency. By implementing high-density mobile storage systems, many manufacturers significantly reduce the floor space required for material staging—unlocking room for additional production or distribution activity.
Efficient manufacturing environments place materials exactly where they are needed—at the point of use. Whether supporting assembly cells, maintenance operations, or quality inspection, point-of-use storage reduces travel time and improves throughput.
Spacesaver’s 4-Post shelving and modular manufacturing storage systems are designed to support:
By keeping materials close to the process, manufacturers reduce wasted motion and improve overall workflow efficiency.
Once products come off the line, they require organized, accessible finished goods storage until they are shipped. Spacesaver offers multiple warehouse distribution storage solutions designed to maximize capacity while maintaining speed and safety.
ActivRAC® mobile pallet racking systems convert traditional pallet racking into a high-density solution—often doubling available storage capacity within the same footprint. When paired with the TUSC® Control App, operators can open and close aisles remotely, improving efficiency and reducing congestion.
For non-palletized inventory, RaptorRAC Widespan shelving delivers a flexible finished goods storage solution that supports cartons, mixed SKUs, and staged orders. Available in static or mobile configurations, it adapts as distribution needs evolve.
In manufacturing and distribution environments, storage decisions directly impact productivity, safety, and profitability. With high-density warehouse storage, mobile pallet racking, point-of-use systems, and finished goods distribution solutions, Spacesaver helps manufacturers turn storage into a competitive advantage.
Whether supporting staging, WIP, or outbound distribution, our industrial warehouse storage systems are engineered to keep materials flowing and operations performing at their best.
