Managing Workshop Storage

Metso, a leading player in the industrial sector, faced significant challenges in managing their workshop storage. With a growing volume of work, the existing storage solution, which used pallet racking, was proving unsafe within its restricted space. Metso’s storage area was confined to a dedicated bay, which limited their ability to store parts efficiently. The excessive use of pallet racking led to complications such as:
  1. Inefficient space utilisation
  2. Safety concerns due to overcrowding
  3. Difficulty in parts segregation for various jobs and orders
  4. Challenges in locating specific parts quickly
SOLUTION

To address these challenges, Metso partnered with Daywalk, as we are known for our innovative storage solutions. After a thorough consultation, we proposed the implementation of 500mmH Galvanised Heavy Duty Steel Cages (13-PSS500C/INT/HD). The benefits of these cages include:

  • Increased warehouse storage capacity
  • Enhanced safety for employees
  • Improved ease of access to parts
  • Effective segregation of parts for different jobs
  • Simplified location tracking for workshop items

Metso initially ordered 10 stackable workshop cages to test their effectiveness. The success of this pilot order led to a subsequent purchase of 50 additional cages. These cages were customised according to Metso’s specifications, and Daywalk now offers these originally custom parts as in-stock solutions.

Customised top-mount bolted fittings to hold cylindrical items.

Assists with parts segregation for multiple jobs/orders and helps to identify the locations of parts and items.

Stackable up to 4 cages high, optimising valuable floor space.

WHY HEAVY DUTY STEEL CAGES?

Durability

Galvanised to ensure longevity, even in the harsh Aussie weather, to protect from rusting and corrosion.

Adjustability

Ideal for bulk storage and handling purposes, with removable gates providing, easy access and 4-way pallet racking compatibility.

Safety

With safety in mind, these cages also have anti-tipping bars and cambered safety under-rails to ensure racking beams won't be damaged.

RESULT

The collaboration between Metso and Daywalk has led to a transformative storage solution that not only addressed immediate challenges but also enhanced overall operational efficiency. The successful implementation of the workshop cages serves as a testament to the effectiveness of tailored storage solutions in industrial settings.

“We were very restricted in storage space for the quantity of work we had coming through the workshop. The existing system of pallet racking was both inefficient and didn’t meet our safety requirements due to restricted space. We reached out to Daywalk for a solution, had a site consultation, and landed on Daywalk’s stackable cages. We purchased 10 at first, and they were such a success that we shortly after purchased another 50. We have now removed all pallet racking from our Job storage area, and we have increased our available storage footprint by 100% while making the process both safer and easier for our employees.” – Repairs Superintendent at Metso
