RIO TINTO were looking to solve their on-going challenges of OH&S concerns, inefficiencies, and operational inconsistencies across sites.

Searching for a resolution, Fortescue Iron Bridge were faced with a dilemma of replacing all their weather-eroded timber pallets with products that could offer durability in a harsh environment and finding support by partnering with a company that can provide systems structure, including on-site support for the assembly of early deliveries, was proving to be a tough ask. 

Existing timber storage pallets unsafe and not compliant. The demands of mining requires many warehouse operations to keep up with operational targets, therefore rendering some warehouses unsafe. Many heavy industry companies use pallet racking which consequently support timber pallets with components strapped to them.

Maximising efficiency of warehouse storage. Consider close on half a million parts being shifted each week and the need to increase throughput. This was why Mackay Hastings Deering Parts Warehouse embarked on an upgrade project. Furthermore, their main object was to double their racking capacity within the existing facility.
