Overview
Storage that serves production, not the other way round
Warehouses and stores inside manufacturing plants are often designed last and squeezed into leftover space. The result is double handling, long picking times, damaged parts and production lines waiting for material.
We design storage and handling from the flow: what arrives, how often, how it is picked and how it reaches the line. Racking type, aisle width, handling equipment and line-side presentation are selected together, with load calculations and safety built in.
Where it helps, we connect storage to production with kitting areas, supermarkets, conveyors and trolley systems — so the right part reaches the right station at the right time.
What we build
Storage and handling systems
Selective pallet racking
Heavy-duty pallet racking designed to your pallet loads, forklift and building height.
Shelving & bin storage
Medium- and light-duty shelving for small parts, spares and stores.
Cantilever racking
Storage for long items such as pipes, bars, profiles and sheets.
Mezzanine floors
Structural mezzanines that add storage or work area within existing buildings.
Carton & pallet flow racks
Gravity flow racks for FIFO, line-side supply and picking areas.
Kitting & supermarkets
Kitting stations, supermarkets and milk-run routes between stores and lines.
Handling equipment
Material trolleys, lift tables, manipulators, jib cranes and lifting aids.
Die & mould storage
Heavy-duty racks for dies, moulds and fixtures with safe handling.
Warehouse layout & flow
Receiving, put-away, picking and dispatch layout with aisle and dock planning.

Typical specifications
What we engineer to
- Storage type
- Selective pallet racking, drive-in, cantilever, mezzanine, shelving
- Load per level
- Sized to your pallet or bin weight with a stated safety factor
- Height / bays
- Set from clear height, MHE reach and aisle width
- Aisle width
- Matched to the forklift, reach truck or stacker in use
- Flow racks / trolleys
- Line-side presentation, kitting trolleys, tugger routes
- Picking method
- Pick-to-order, batch, kitting or supermarket replenishment
- Handling aids
- Manipulators, lifters, tilters, turntables where ergonomics demand
- Identification
- Location and bin labelling, barcode or RFID where traced
- Interfaces
- Receiving, WIP, line-side and despatch interfaces engineered
- Safety
- Rack protection, aisle segregation, load notices and inspection plan
Indicative ranges. Final specifications are fixed against your part and volume at design freeze.
Engineering deliverables
Documents you receive
- Storage and material-flow layout with aisles and load notices

Industries we serve
Why Mecwerx
Why manufacturers choose us for this
Designed from flow
Storage type and location come from how material moves, not from filling space.
Load-calculated
Every rack level is designed and labelled for its load, with safety accessories.
Connected to production
Kitting, supermarkets and trolleys link stores to the line.
One partner for plant and warehouse
Storage is designed together with lines, conveyors and layout.

Material Handling & Warehousing: common questions
How do you decide the right racking system?
We look at your SKU profile, pallet loads, throughput, picking method, forklift type and building height. Selective racking suits variety and access; flow racks suit FIFO and line-side supply; cantilever racking suits long items.
Can you design a mezzanine inside our existing building?
Yes. We check the floor, columns and clear height, design the structure for the required load and integrate stairs, railings and material handling.
Do you provide rack load signage and inspection checklists?
Yes. Every installation includes load signage per level and an inspection checklist so your team can check racks regularly.
Can you connect the warehouse to our production lines?
Yes. We design kitting areas, supermarkets, trolley routes and conveyors so material flows from stores to line side without double handling.
