“Previously we were using metal and wood shelving that was probably 30 years old, and parts were stored, or more precisely, haphazardly scattered in various locations on shelves, on tabletops and even on the floor. The Lista high-density storage system has allowed us to organize our parts, equipment and workspace so that everything is readily accessible, inventory is better managed and we have a much more efficient use of space.” 
—Tim Sabin, operations/equipment director, Genesee County Road Commission, Flint, Michigan

“We used to use a combination of different types of steel racks and as a result, ended up storing large amounts of material on the floor because we couldn't fit it on those racks. We also had a very difficult time getting material on and off those racks. Now, using this system which we installed about two years ago, we can store a much larger amount of material without consuming more floor space. This is a much safer way to handle the material. Can-Store is a very good system for keeping your materials organized.”
—Doug Cadman, president, Trackless Vehicles Ltd., Courtland, Ontario, Canada

“We've used cantilever racking for many years in our operations, and we decided to install the Jarke system because we needed floor space to install equipment. We had to find a way to get the same amount of inventory in a smaller square footage. The SteelTree system allowed us to utilize our limited warehouse more effectively and increase the load density while organizing our stock to make it more accessible.”
—Nick Cray, vice president of operations, Rath Manufacturing, Janesville, Wisconsin

Options: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

Metal Center Systems, Mississauga, Ontario

“Until we installed a racking system, we floor-piled everything. The combination of additional time to fill orders and damage to the stock led us to explore our options. When Canrack staff first specced the system, they determined what we needed based on our product mix, and then they over-engineered the project to ensure we would have no issues with breakdown or other problems down the road. Since 2001, we've installed two different systems in Brampton and another two in Montreal—they've worked very hard for us.”
—Terry Gibb, quality and special projects manager, Ryerson Tull, Brampton, Ontario, Canada

Kasto-Racine Inc., Export, Pennsylvania
www.kastoracine.com

“The first system we put in is about three years old, and we now have five systems. Each system primarily handles a specific product—tubular, white metal bar and tubing, cold-finished bar, and hot-rolled and SBQ alloy bar—they're not integrated and we don't want them to be. The single biggest benefit we receive from this system is consistent order filling capabilities in a low-cost environment. It automatically pulls, bundles, bar-code labels, material with no manpower. Whatever we have needed to improve on—mostly software upgrades—we've accomplished with full cooperation from Kasto.”
—Paul Ioriatti, vice president and district manager, Earle M. Jorgensen Co., Schaumburg, Illinois

SpaceSaver Roll-out System

Steel Storage Systems Inc., Commerce City, Colorado

“We use the Spacesaver Roll-out for our stainless and aluminum bay, which is a little less active bay that we load with an overhead crane. We've had our system at least 10 years, and while we've had to replace a few parts, if you call the company, they're sent UPS the next day. One of the benefits to the system is that it makes cycle counting easier because everything is on its own shelf and optional dividers allow you to divide a single rack into three. It also makes finding heat numbers easy because you can roll the bar out—it's right in front of you.”
—George Summerell, division manager, Chatham Steel Corp., Savannah, Georgia
