Gravity Flow Pallet Rack for Pioneer Hi-Bred


Pioneer Hi-Bred is the world's leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics to farmers worldwide. With the increase in demand for their products, they were confronted with re-evaluating their storage capacity within their facilities. They approached American Warehouse Systems for help with this issue.

In an effort to store as many pallets as possible in the existing warehouse, Pioneer looked to the various high density storage options. American Warehouse Systems assisted with the design and layout in the non-uniform product area. After our site visit and application analysis, it was determined the designated area allowed for 8 bays of 4 to 8 pallets deep on a gravity flow system, allowing 150 pallet positions in 1,001 square feet of floor space. We used the Logix 2000 Polycarbonate wheel flow lanes from InterRoll on Unarco Structural style pallet racking to hold the 1,500 pound pallets of product.

Pioneer Hi-Bred was so pleased with the results, they recently ordered another 3 bays of 4 pallets deep to add on to the original system, giving them another 36 pallet positions in only 193 square feet of floor space. We would like to thank Pioneer for the order and wish them the best for years to come.

GSA "Green" Solution for the US Navy


As promised, I will continue to post a title, short description and a link to our new blog at, http://aw-systems.com/blog/. It's still not quite up to speed but I'm being as patient as I can be. I'm assured it will be there soon. In the meantime, please forgive our mess and come check it out.

Today's post discusses how American Warehouse Systems provided a sensible "green" solution to a US Navy facility that needed 25% more pallet storage but couldn't acquire more square footage within their facility.

Finally! Our Blog Has Moved!

After much delay we have finally migrated our blog to our website. We feel there is great value in having the blog resident on our main site at the folder level. This of course will cause some confusion and issues moving forward but we hope all will hang with us during the mess.
Now it's not quite all together and pretty yet but we expect it will be in a few short weeks. In the meantime I will be blogging on both sites with the "meat" on the new blog and a short description and a link on this site.
This week I am profiling a TA-50 Military Gear Locker application we completed for the United States Army. We replaced their old "school" type lockers with some very nice custom lockers. The entire project was very cost effective and all purchased on our GSA Contract. Read more about it; TA-50 Military Gear Lockers at Army Base.
