King Cycle Group: A Story of Evolution

King Cycle Group, an e-commerce giant in the realm of manufacturing and distribution, has made significant strides in evolving its warehouse infrastructure. Located in Portland, OR, the company has carved a niche in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the realms of electronics and agriculture.

King Cycle Group’s partnership with AK Material Handling Systems has significantly boosted its warehouse efficiency and customer service. Key improvements include optimized warehouse safety through cantilever arm lips, leading to streamlined operations and faster distribution. 

Cantilever racking is a unique storage system with arms that protrude out from a center column. These arms are great for storing products of various shapes and sizes, but sometimes they need accessories like arm lips to prevent products from rolling and falling off their ends.

We were able to provide a hefty number of arm lips for this client, contributing to their enhanced inventory management and increased operational efficiency and safety.

Rinchem: Enhancing Chemical and Gas Distribution

Rinchem, a chemical management solutions provider, offers global chemical and gas distribution services with a clear focus on safety and efficiency. The company has a strong presence in Oregon, with various facilities in Tualatin, Hillsboro, and Cornelius. 

Partnering with AK Material Handling Systems, Rinchem optimized its Hillsboro chemical warehouse facility with Steel King selective pallet racking and J&L Wire wire decking

“This customer needed racking in their new cold storage room. The storage space and application required taller uprights which we were able to special order to meet the client’s needs. Once the material arrived, we shipped the order to Oregon and provided installation to get this new space in their facility up and running.”
