In the ever-evolving world of storage and material handling, one of Wildeck’s longtime dealers, Prestige, continually demonstrates its commitment to innovation and efficiency. Wildeck's recent collaboration with Prestige showcases not only its dealers’ adaptability in the face of unexpected challenges but also their expertise in optimizing warehouse spaces.
One of Prestige’s longest-time customers approached them in 2020 to maximize storage space in a new expansion. While the original plan was to design a three-level traditional mezzanine that housed static rivet rack and shelving, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought these plans to a halt, relegating the building to ground-level storage use.
In 2021, discussions resumed, but the pandemic’s impact on operations led the customer, Prestige, and Wildeck to reconsider the approach. The project evolved to focus on a more dynamic solution. After extensive evaluations of static, semi-automated, and fully automated systems, a decision was made. The optimal solution? A two-level structural Wildeck mezzanine with a shelf-to-person storage and picking system, integrated with fully automated sortation. This choice was driven by both current needs and future projections.
Key to this project was the design and installation of a multi-level mezzanine, making full use of the building’s 45’ clearance. Wildeck’s two-level structural mezzanine measured 87’ D x 307’ W, providing an impressive 53,418 Sq Ft of additional space.
The mezzanine levels are seamlessly connected through spiral vertical rise conveyors and powered accumulation roller conveyors, enabling effortless movement of products across all levels.
