Increase your warehouse productivity
Intelligent use of your vertical storage space
Improve the efficiency of your materials handling to improve the productivity of your company
Many don’t take action to improve their warehousing until they are already overwhelmed by a problem. But improving the efficiency of your space and storage raises the productivity of your operations, which in turn increases your profitability across the company.
There are many reasons why people delay addressing storage and handling problems, from the perceived operations disruption and cost through to just assuming there isn’t a better way. However, one of our storage and material handling experts can often recommend solutions that can be implemented quickly and cost effectively.

Why you need to plan your warehousing holistically
At Space Productiv we have over two decades of experience and know that good materials handling starts by looking at your products and determining the most efficient way to handle and store them.
This has to be done holistically; it’s no good looking at just one specific area of your operations. Without the right advice you could install a system that isn’t compatible with your current forklifts or handling machinery, or that gives you future access problems.
Auditing the pick rates for your stock will allow you to store items that move the fastest in the most accessible locations: place slow moving items at the top of your racking system and the quick moving at the bottom or ends of the aisles. This reduces travel times and unnecessary mileage for your fork lifts.
Installing a racking system with fork lift guide rails is a simple solution that allows you to narrow your aisles and maximising your storage space. Alternatively installing mobile racking almost entirely removes the need for aisles altogether, creating even more space. These are all the things an experienced warehousing professional can advocate to improve your use of space.
Three tools to give you more space and increase your warehouse productivity
Before you look to expand, make sure your are making the best use of the space you already have. Move up before you move out by installing warehouse racking systems that maximise your use of vertical height.
Putting in a second floor means you can maintain an original work space whilst creating a second area above it. Use mezzanine flooring to double your floor space without expanding your facility.
Make use of external space with a semi-permanent structure, made by enclosing a cantilever racking system. Because no costly foundations are required, construction of Pop-up Warehousing is measured in days not months.
