Shelf cart: Creform has designed and built
a simple shelf cart for use in complex production environments. The cart is used to kit
parts, tools, and supplies to support special
project production. It allows an associate
to pull parts and supplies from the warehouse storage area, organize them into a useful
arrangement, and move
them into a production or
project area.
The simple design
allows companies to organize only the parts they
need and helps minimize
production floor space
dedicated to inventory. It
keeps items easily accessible, and the simple
shelf design allows for seamless changeover
when going from one project to another.
The cart features three shelves that are
lightweight yet strong, with corrugated plastic surfaces. The shelves can hold packaged
parts as well as parts without packaging. Each
shelf can be repositioned with simple tools.
A custom white board ( 12 by 36 inches) is
centered over the cart and allows for specific
direction that needs to be given to the associate. The section of Creform pipe next to the
white board provides a convenient “holster”
to hold and store a marker or writing device.
The cart features four 4-inch-diameter casters with rubber wheels for easy, stable, and
safe movement. Two of the casters have
brakes for secure positioning. The device,
which has a 28- by 38-inch compact footprint, can hold up to 450 pounds. Custom
sizes and higher load capacities are available.
Options include label holders, hooks, and
clipboards. The cart is available as a kit or
assembled structure or in component form
for complete DIY solutions. (Creform, www.

The plug-in allows operators viewing live
and stored 360-degree video streams from
Axis cameras to electronically pan, tilt, and

Pallet rack safety products: Adrian’s Safety Solutions has introduced a new line
of pallet rack safety products designed to ensure warehouse compliance with fire
protection standards in the U.S.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, the longitudinal flue space,
which is the vertical area between storage racks, must remain clear at all times. This
allows heat from a fire to vent upward and ceiling fire sprinklers to work effectively.
The company’s Rack Safety Strap and Rack Safety Nets, which mount to the
back of the storage rack, can help prevent pallet push-through into the flue space.
