When it comes to material handling shelving, customization is key. Every warehouse, storage facility, or manufacturing plant has unique requirements and space constraints, often making off-the-shelf shelving solutions inadequate. This is where custom roll forming comes into play, offering a myriad of advantages over standard shelving options. Below, we explore five compelling reasons why custom roll form profiles are the optimal choice for material handling shelving and rack manufacturers.

1. Tailored Design to Maximize Space Utilization

AS/AR racking manufacturers should consider custom roll form parts, as they allow for precise tailoring of racking and shelving dimensions to optimize your space. Whether you have limited floor space or specific height restrictions, custom roll form parts enable the creation of shelving units that efficiently utilize every inch of space. By maximizing vertical and horizontal space, you can significantly increase storage capacity without expanding the footprint of your facility.

2. Enhanced Strength and Durability

Unlike generic parts, custom roll form parts are made of high-quality materials tailored to the specific load-bearing requirements of your operation. By utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques and selecting appropriate materials such as high-strength steel, custom roll form parts offer unparalleled strength and durability. This ensures that your shelving can withstand heavy loads and the rigors of daily use, minimizing the risk of damage or collapse. Plus, these durable parts contribute to racking and shelving that can stand the test of time.

3. Cost-Effective Solutions for Long-Term Savings

While integrating custom roll form parts into your racking and shelving may require an initial investment, their long-term cost-effectiveness far outweighs this cost. By designing systems tailored to your exact needs, you eliminate wasted space and maximize efficiency, ultimately reducing the need for additional storage solutions in the future. Additionally, the durability of custom roll form parts translates to lower maintenance and replacement costs over time, resulting in significant savings for your customers in the long run.

4. Flexibility to Accommodate Changing Requirements

One of the most significant advantages of using custom roll form parts is their inherent flexibility. As your storage needs evolve over time, these parts can be easily modified, manufactured, or expanded to accommodate changing requirements. Whether you need to adjust shelf heights, add additional levels, or integrate specialized features such as dividers or bins, custom roll form parts allow for seamless customization without costly replacements or downtime. In fact, Hynes Industries has in-house robotic welding capabilities to add end brackets or any other feature to roll form components that add value to products. This can save valuable time during the installation process at your customers’ build site.

5. Streamlined Integration with Automated Systems

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, automation plays a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and productivity. Shelving designed with custom roll form parts can seamlessly integrate with automated material handling systems, such as conveyor belts, robotic pickers, and automated storage and retrieval systems. Hynes Industries can offer collaborative engineering by using parts specifically tailored to accommodate automated equipment. With these parts, you can optimize workflow, minimize manual handling, and maximize the efficiency of your system to offer your customer the most efficient, cost-effective system possible.
