Case Study

Large Electrical Supply Distributor

The Challenge

A repeat customer approached Stein Service & Supply while renovating an older building to serve as a new business location. The primary concerns were the limited space available for inventory storage and that a significant portion of the warehouse (about 25%) was unsuitable for forklift traffic due to a basement beneath it. The customer needed a storage solution that maximized space efficiency and met these structural limitations.

The Solution

Due to our longstanding relationship with the customer, Stein was their sole choice for this project. Our team visited their current facilities to evaluate inventory storage needs and collaborated with key personnel to design a customized layout for the new location.
The solution strategically placed hand-pick shelving and bulk racks in the basement area, which could not support forklifts, while designing a layout that allowed forklifts to access critical zones such as the loading dock, pallet racks, cable reel racks, and cantilever racks.
Despite challenges, including designing a forklift-safe pathway and maximizing storage in a constrained space, Stein delivered the project on time and even completed the installation ahead of schedule.

The final layout exceeded customer expectations, offering more storage capacity than anticipated. It fully accommodated their existing inventory while providing additional space for future growth. Stein’s solution effectively addressed all challenges, ensuring efficiency and safety within the new facility.

This successful project highlights Stein’s expertise in overcoming structural limitations and designing custom warehouse solutions.
