Cherry’s Creates a More Efficient and Effective Parts and Accessories Storage Solution
The customer is a worldwide leader in manufacturing construction equipment and a wide variety of machinery. The company was looking for a more efficient and effective way to store the parts and accessories they sell and also use in the process of assembling and servicing its equipment.
The customer had been relying on a wooden pallet with sidewalls that did not fit well with their current shelving system. Furthermore, the wooden pallets struggled to stand up to impacts, which resulted in frequent replacements. Parts were also falling through the broken slats, which presented safety concerns for workers. Additionally, parts showing in the inventory were being lost, causing delays in production.
Interested in a custom pallet container solution that offered a more precise fit and improved longevity, the company reached out to Cherry’s Industrial Equipment on November 15, 2018. After a thorough consultation, Cherry’s put together a proposal for a product that would solve the customer’s challenges, and the PO was issued on March 18, 2019.
Delivering Custom Steel Pallet Containers
As a leading source for warehouse-related products, Cherry’s was confident it could tailor a solution from our extensive product offerings. The Cherry’s team of designers and engineers developed a solid steel pallet strong enough to withstand significant impacts.
The custom pallet containers for Caterpillar were sized for a perfect fit with their rack system. Dunnage was used to offer increased protection for the products inside, while the steel construction provided exceptional durability compared to a plastic or wooden alternative. The pallet container benefits included fewer inaccurate calculations of inventory, fewer and less frequent pallet replacements, improved reliability and improved workplace safety.
