Legrand: Turnkey Relocation Services for an Evolving Business

Legrand, known for its extensive electronics, lighting, and cable inventory, recently underwent a significant warehouse relocation from Draper, Utah, to Shakopee, Minnesota. This two-day relocation project required pallet rack teardown, transportation, and reinstallation at the new facility.

Moving pallet racks is an involved process that requires heavy machinery and intensive planning. AK Material Handling Systems offers full warehouse relocation services from teardown to installation and everything in between. In Legrand’s case, we were able to complete the entire move in two days, tearing down, shipping, and reinstalling over 70 bays of selective pallet racking.

Williams International: Safe Storage for Aerospace and Aviation

Williams International is a gas turbine engine manufacturer supporting the aerospace and aviation industries. We assisted Williams Intl’s Utah storage facility with the implementation of Interlake selective pallet racking, J&L wire decks, and SpaceGuard Products rack back safety panels.

The company’s commitment to efficiency and safety throughout its facility is apparent in its choice of storage systems. Rack backing is a warehouse safety product intended to prevent falling items or pallets that could otherwise cause serious injury or death. This strategic choice not only optimizes their storage operations but also provides safety for employees and customers.

By following the lead of companies like Legrand and Williams International, other warehouses can achieve similar levels of efficiency and preparedness for future storage demands. Implementing innovative and flexible storage solutions and seeking expert guidance are pivotal steps in this journey.
