For Diverco, Beaver engineered a unique storage and retrieval system for bulky and unwieldy parts: automotive transmissions. Before Beaver, Diverco had stored refurbushed transmissions on wooden pallets (4-6 per pallet), using traditional pallet racking. This meant that when a given transmission was required, the entire pallet had to come down off the rack.
Beaver built rack beams from structural round pipe fabricated for Diverco's precise load and weight distribution requirements. This allows individual transmissions to hang from simple S-hooks.
Now, an order for one transmission only requires moving one transmission. The result? More efficient use of space, and drastically reduced handling costs.
When General Auto Parts began their first physical move in 17 years, they turned to Beaver for complete project management and guaranteed results.
The new facility is divided into four distinct areas, each one engineered to maximize picking efficiency and reduce forklift travel.
Exhausts, mufflers and tailpipes are now stored in a unique hanging system, which leaves all the inventory visible and easy to identify, and makes picking simple. The hanging racks are just 24 inches wide, and will support as many vertical levels as the height of the building permits. Even better, the height levels of individual racks can be easily changed from year to year.
