Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best racking system for a medical supply warehouse?
It depends on your product mix, but most healthcare warehouses combine a few systems. Narrow Aisle and Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Selective Racking maximize pallet storage in limited floor space. Carton Flow Racking speeds up picking for fast-moving small items, and Closed Shelving protects delicate devices and packaged goods. NAS Group works with healthcare manufacturers and distributors to design a layout that fits their specific inventory.
How can a healthcare distributor fulfill urgent hospital orders faster?
Faster fulfillment starts with storage that puts high-demand products within easy reach. Carton Flow Racking uses gravity to feed items forward to the picker, and a well-planned Selective Racking layout shortens travel time through the warehouse. The right setup helps distributors get supplies out the door quickly when hospitals and clinics need them on short notice.
How should I store medical devices and pharmaceuticals in a distribution center?
Healthcare products should be stored in an organized system that keeps them protected, easy to locate, and ready to ship. Small or delicate items do well on Closed Shelving or Carton Flow Racking, while larger equipment and bulk stock suit Selective Racking. Some products also need special conditions like cooler temperatures, so your storage layout should account for those zones from the start. NAS Group also supplies racking for cold storage environments.
Who makes warehouse racking for healthcare companies in Canada?
NAS Group is a Canadian manufacturer of pallet racking, shelving, and storage platforms, serving healthcare manufacturers and distributors among other industries. It operates through North American Steel, headquartered in Whitby, Ontario, and North American Storage, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, offering engineering, rack design, installation, and project management alongside its products.
Can I get a custom storage system for a small healthcare warehouse?
Yes. NAS Group designs storage systems for both large distribution centers and smaller warehouses. The process starts with an assessment of your products, available space, and order volume, followed by a custom layout that makes the most of your footprint while keeping inventory organized, protected, and easy to ship. Systems can also be expanded or reconfigured as your operation grows.
