Montel's High-Density Powered Mobile Storage Systems Mounted On Pallet Rack For Heavy-Duty Storage.

Challenge

Objective

Objectives and concerns were :
 

• Concentrate the existing line's inventory storage for all raw materials and packaging, which would provide enough space to support the new production line.
• Eliminate expensive costs related to off-site storage: personnel, security, transportation and management costs, and capitalize on the building Perrigo was already leasing for the long-term.

Solution

Montel's high-desnity powered mobile storage systems were mounted on pallet rack for heavy-duty storage.
