Military logistics has one basic expectation: the right equipment needs to be in the right place at the right time.
That becomes considerably harder when a supply room or logistics warehouse is packed with uniforms, OCIE, repair parts, mobility equipment, deployment gear, containers, tools, consumables and thousands of individual line items.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions designs military logistics and supply storage systems that help Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, National Guard, Reserve and other defense organizations organize inventory, improve accessibility, increase accountability and make better use of available space.
From a unit supply room or CIF operation to a large military warehouse, deployment staging area or installation logistics facility, we can design storage around the mission—not force the mission around the shelving.
Receive it. Organize it. Store it. Issue it. Deploy it.
And when it comes back, know exactly where it belongs.
Military supply operations can manage an enormous range of equipment:
When that inventory is spread across overcrowded shelving, mismatched cabinets and valuable floor space, personnel spend unnecessary time searching, moving and reorganizing equipment.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can create a more efficient military logistics storage system based on inventory, workflow, security requirements and available square footage.
The objective is straightforward: make inventory easier to store, easier to locate and easier to issue.
A military supply room can contain hundreds—or thousands—of different items.
Every item needs a home.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can combine shelving, cabinets, bins, lockers, mobile storage and other systems to create designated storage locations for frequently issued supplies as well as long-term inventory.
A properly planned military supply room storage system can help:
Your supply room shouldn't require an expedition just to find a box of equipment.
Sometimes a military warehouse doesn't have a storage-capacity problem.
It has an aisle problem.
Traditional stationary shelving requires permanent aisles between rows. Those aisles consume square footage whether someone is accessing the shelving or not.
Spacesaver high-density mobile storage places shelving or racking on movable carriages, allowing unnecessary fixed aisles to be eliminated while opening an access aisle where personnel need it.
Depending on the facility and application, this approach can significantly increase storage capacity within an existing footprint.
Military logistics applications can include:
The result is simple: more storage without automatically requiring more building.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions currently highlights high-density storage as part of its broader military storage offering and emphasizes improving access, accountability and use of limited space.
Military logistics warehouses have a different challenge.
Some inventory fits in a small bin.
Some needs a pallet.
And some seems to have been designed specifically to make warehouse managers reconsider their career choices.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions offers military warehouse systems capable of accommodating small parts, cartons, containers, equipment and heavier inventory.
Solutions can include:
Spacesaver ActivRAC® mobilized storage systems can be used for heavier military warehouse applications, helping consolidate stored inventory while maintaining accessibility. SpacesaverVA specifically identifies ActivRAC as an option for military warehouse parts and vehicle-maintenance equipment.
Organize cartons, containers, equipment, repair parts and bulk supplies according to size, weight and retrieval frequency.
High-density drawer storage can organize large quantities of small components, tools and supplies within a compact footprint.
Create clearly defined locations for fasteners, fittings, electrical components, replacement parts and other small inventory.
Separate controlled or higher-value inventory from general supplies while maintaining an organized storage environment.
Where appropriate, vertical storage systems can take advantage of available building height rather than continuing to consume valuable floor space.
TA-50, OCIE & CIF Storage
TA-50 and OCIE can consume an impressive amount of space.
Body armor. Packs. Helmets. Load-bearing equipment. Protective equipment. Boots. Clothing. Field equipment. Deployment bags.
Multiply that by an entire unit and storage gets complicated quickly.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can design TA-50 storage, OCIE storage and military gear storage systems using configurations such as:
These systems can help units organize individual equipment while keeping gear accessible for inspection, issue, turn-in and deployment.
For CIF and equipment-issue operations, storage can also be configured around the actual workflow—from receiving and inventory through issue and return.
Every extra repacking step costs time.
For deployment operations, Spacesaver offers solutions intended to help military organizations store, transport and access mission equipment more efficiently.
SpacesaverVA's existing deployment portfolio includes solutions such as the Universal Expeditionary™ Weapons Storage System, Rapid Readiness Box and other deployable storage concepts designed around storing and transporting military equipment.
The Rapid Readiness Box provides a durable alternative to traditional wooden shipping crates. SpacesaverVA describes configurations designed to work with 20-foot ISO containers, 463L pallets and TRICON Type 2 containers, with stackability and four-way forklift access supporting handling and deployment operations.
For logistics personnel, the concept is powerful:
Store it. Move it. Access it. Redeploy it.
Fewer unnecessary handling steps can mean more time focused on readiness.
Supply and maintenance operations frequently overlap.
Filters, bearings, hoses, electrical components, hydraulic fittings, fasteners, replacement assemblies and specialized parts all need organized locations.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can create military parts storage systems using:
This makes it possible to organize inventory by platform, equipment type, maintenance function, stock number or frequency of use.
The five-minute repair shouldn't require a 20-minute search for the part.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can develop logistics and supply storage for a variety of defense environments, including:
Organized storage for individual equipment, supplies, tools, records and unit property.
Storage for TA-50, OCIE, uniforms, PPE and other individually issued equipment.
High-capacity storage for bulk supplies, repair parts, equipment and containers.
Organized storage that helps personnel prepare, stage and move equipment.
Parts, tools, consumables and replacement-component storage supporting MRO operations.
Storage for aircraft parts, tools, flight equipment and support inventory.
Space-efficient equipment and gear storage for facilities that often need to support multiple operational functions within the same building.
Storage designed to keep equipment organized, protected and accessible for operational requirements. Spacesaver Storage Solutions specifically identifies logistics and supply warehouses among the facilities suited to in-garrison and pre-positioning storage solutions.
From Small Parts to Serious Hardware
There isn't one shelving system that makes sense for every military supply item.
That's why Spacesaver Storage Solutions works with multiple storage technologies and manufacturers.
Depending on the application, a military logistics project may incorporate:
The goal isn't to sell a room full of shelving.
The goal is to engineer a storage system around what your personnel actually need to store, issue and retrieve.
Military logistics is about moving the right resources to the right people at the right time.
Your storage system should support that mission.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can help you organize military supplies, consolidate inventory, improve accessibility and make better use of the space you already have.
