Raw Material Handling & Storage

SMP, a fast growing security fencing manufacturer and home of Vista-Mesh security fencing needed a new warehouse to receive and manage all the raw materials they use in their manufacturing process.

The Specs

SMP is set to expand with an additional 864m² of covered material handling and storage space. This new structure, measuring 18m x 48m, will provide easy access for large steel deliveries, with sufficient entrances and considerable roof height.

To improve operations, an overhead crane will be installed, allowing for the movement of multiple lengthy steel IPE beams, tubes, and wire rolls, which are presently managed with forklifts. Through our unique partnership with leading overhead crane and material handling suppliers we are able to advise and offer the most affordable fit for purpose solution to material handling in any building be it green field or existing. Overhead cranes greatly boost efficiency when handling heavy steel materials, improving production flow, safety and enabling the client tooptimize the use of storage space, while minimizing stock damage.

This enables the business to manage incoming stock more effectively, ultimately leading to enhanced productivity and a reduction in unnecessary expenses caused by inadequate stock visibility.
