Tier-Rack's portable stack rack is preferred to common pallet rack for many applications due to it's flexibility.  It can be bulk stored with no aisles to save space on non perishable items or condensed down and moved to a corner when not in use for seasonal items.  Stack racks can also serve to ship product out to customers or move product around your warehouse.

When you operate a warehouse, you know that flexibility is the key to operating efficiently.  Having the ability to reconfigure the warehouse on the fly as situations dictate makes your life immeasurably easier.  With many racks, there is no easy way to move them.  They aren’t setup to move the warehouse around at a moment’s notice to improve workflow, safety, or to accommodate new items or large shipments.  That’s why Stack Racks from Tier-Rack are the best solution for warehouse storage.

Moveable industrial racks like Tier-Rack stacking racks let the warehouse manager maximize selectivity or storage density or work as a combination of the two as they see fit.  No installation or dismantling required – just move them!

They can also be used in shipping thanks to their removable corner posts that allow them to be shipped and stored very densely.  While traditional storage racks take up the same amount of space whether they’re empty or full, Tier-Rack racks can be stored for a fraction of their initial space, whether you choose a standard breakdown rack, a nestable modular rack, or a folding rack.

Every warehouse needs to ensure that they run efficiently.  There are certain ways to ensure this, beyond buying the right racks from Tier-Rack.  Here's our list of ways to ensure that your warehouse runs efficiently and safely.

1. Processes Lead to Accountability

Create a series of processes in your warehouse that will make sure that your employees are accountable for inventory and safety.  Make them part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.  Employees that are invested in the safety and viability of the warehouse will make it run more smoothly.

2. When You Make Changes, Let Everyone Know

Post new warehouse policies.  Have meetings.  Build a rapport with the employees in the warehouse to make sure that everyone is on the same page.  All of these will make sure that your employees feel that they have been informed and know what to do.

3. Get Managers and Decision-Makers On the Floor

Senior leadership and managers make decisions all of the time about how the warehouse operates.  Shouldn't they have a first-hand knowledge of the operation?  Let them walk the floor.  Give them an opportunity to see the procedures in action.  Get hands on occasionally.  This helps in two ways.  It gives decision makers much needed intelligence on the operation at ground level, and it shows the employees in the warehouse that their bosses do care about what happens in the warehouse.

4. Have the Right Configuration 

Using the right warehouse configuration for your product and space is crucial.  The key to this is flexibility.  Being able to reconfigure the warehouse on the fly ensures that you can adapt to changes in inventory and personnel.  That's why a Stack Rack from Tier-Rack Corporation is a great fit for any warehouse.  Tier-Rack is a leading manufacturer of quality stack rack, portable rack, storage bins, warehouse rack and specialty shipping racks.  Tier-Rack has been in business for over 55 years and actually manufactures rack in our own facilities out of quality materials, we never use thinner 16 GA material.
