    Secure Castings Storage: Protect Your Investment.

    Storing castings within a robust warehouse storage facility offers a secure and reliable solution for businesses managing these valuable metal components. Warehouses are specifically designed to handle heavy loads and provide substantial protection against physical damage, a key benefit considering the inherent weight and potential fragility of castings. Strategic pallet racking systems maximize storage density, optimizing space utilization and streamlining inventory management. Proper stacking techniques – utilizing interlocks and protective bracing – are crucial to prevent shifting and damage during handling. Regularly inspect stored castings for any signs of impact or stress, and implement a clear FIFO (First-In, First-Out) system to ensure optimal product freshness and minimize the risk of prolonged storage effects. Dedicated warehouse staff trained in safe handling procedures further mitigate potential damage. Warehouse storage provides a cost-effective solution with readily available access and robust security, making it an ideal location for safeguarding your castings throughout their storage lifecycle. Finally, a well-organized warehouse promotes efficient retrieval and reduces the potential for loss or misplacement, bolstering your supply chain.

    Space Requirements

    • Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 square feet, 20ft x 10ft area, Height clearance: 12 feet. This allows for a pallet rack system and maneuvering space.

    • Storage Conditions: Dry storage is essential. The area should be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation and maintain a stable environment. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.

    • Special Handling: Castings are generally robust but can be susceptible to surface damage from impact. All castings should be stored with adequate padding – foam inserts or cardboard – to prevent scratching and denting. Fragile components should be individually wrapped.

    • Stacking/Shelving: Pallet racking is the recommended storage method. Utilize a 48” high pallet rack system. Consider using interlocking pallet racking for increased stability. Shelving units with adjustable shelves can supplement the racking system for smaller items.

    • Access Requirements: A loading dock with a 12ft x 10ft bay door is required for easy truck access. The door width must be at least 10 feet to accommodate standard pallet trucks. A minimum clearance of 8 feet is needed at the loading dock for truck maneuvering. Forklifts with a load capacity of 5,000 lbs should be available.
