Challenge
Optimizing Storage Space Without Sacrificing Safety

Our storage client in Dallas, Texas was setting up a new warehouse and wanted to optimize their use of that space without sacrificing the safety of their employees or forklift operators.

They had worked three times previously with W.W. Cannon and knew they could count on us to get the job done. We were brought in for storage layout planning and professional equipment installation.

“The customer gave us vault sizes and we planned out the space to maximize storage in areas where they stored and stacked their vaults,” says Brown. “We provided layout drawings first, so we knew where to set the demarcation lines. That ensures proper setting of the vaults in the storage area.”

Once the layout drawings were approved, it was time to tape out the storage zones. Mighty Line patented floor tape was used due to its superior durability and ease of installation.

“This was an important safety application,” says Gregory Brown, President of W.W. Cannon. “Once taped out, the forklift drivers had visuals of well-defined areas for each vault. The storage lines were straight, and the space was optimized for high storage efficiency.”

W.W. Cannon followed up the taping with pallet rack systems and safety guardrail installation to increase collision prevention.

With an efficient layout plan and installation by W.W. Cannon, the client was able to store their vaults in organized, orderly rows.

“It was definitely a success,” says Brown. “We fit as many vaults into that warehouse as was safely possible, and our customer was extremely satisfied with the results. This was the fourth warehouse for them in which we applied this custom space efficiency solution.”
