An automobile parts store has a massive need for storage. The reason for this is that an automobile parts store has to hold a lot of products. There are so many cars, trucks, vans, and other vehicle types out there. Therefore, you need to carry a lot of varying parts for all, or some of the more strategic or popular types, of the possible vehicles you want to deal within the first place. Therefore, if you are one of those companies, then you will need an industrial storage system up to the task of holding everything you need it to hold.
Every experienced auto parts store knows that auto parts are not the same size even when they are for the same vehicle. That means that you will need a variety of sizes of storage or a solution that can handle both small and large parts. The latter is probably the more likely of the possibilities. However, you can get a modification that will allow you to store things on your automobile industrial storage solution very easily. If you have an industrial storage solution then it is very likely a pallet rack. A problem with pallet racks is that they tend to use wire mesh decks. Wire mesh decks have gaps in them that would allow a small object to pass through to the bottom of the rack and possibly on the floor. If you have small items like screws or bolts on your pallet racks then they will fall to the floor. You can easily solve this problem with a plastic storage bin. If it is a solenoid then it can also be put in one of these bins. Basically, if it is a smaller item, then it should be on a plastic storage bin on your pallet rack. Therefore, your industrial solution can handle the bigger items and the smaller ones through the judicious use of plastic storage bins.
Some businesses think that they can use wood decking to solve this problem. Unfortunately, this does not usually work because wood is flammable. Moreover, your local government will look at these wood decks as a fire hazard. The fact that your decks are made of wood means that they will not allow you to stack as high as you could if you were using wire mesh decks. Subsequently, you could be wasting space that you could be using to store more automobile products or parts on your shelves. Of course, you could always roll the dice and try to use them anyway but this is a good way to get shut down or get massive fines from your local government.
Therefore, pallet racks can be a versatile tool in your business and they can hold the big and small parts or products that you need them to hold. You only have to make use of plastic storage bins in order to be able to hold those parts and products. Finally, you will be able to store a lot of parts and products which means you can service more vehicles and get more orders. You will find that your business will scale much faster because of these facts.
