Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best type of racking for a manufacturing facility?
It depends on what you're storing and how materials move through your plant. Selective Racking is a versatile choice for raw materials and finished goods, while Pallet Flow Racking and Carton Flow Racking work well for feeding production lines. Cantilever Racking handles long or bulky items like pipe and bar stock, and Closed Shelving keeps smaller components organized. NAS Group can help you find the right mix for your operation.
How can I store raw materials and work-in-progress items more efficiently?
The key is choosing storage that supports how materials flow through your facility. Dynamic systems like Pallet Flow Racking and Carton Flow Racking keep raw materials and WIP items moving toward work cells on a first-in, first-out basis, reducing handling time and keeping production lines supplied.
What storage system works best for Kanban and feeding work cells?
Pallet Flow Racking and Carton Flow Racking are ideal for Kanban systems and work cell replenishment. They use gravity to move inventory forward, so operators always have quick access to the next item while restocking happens from the back without interrupting production.
How do I add more storage space to my manufacturing plant without expanding the building?
Storage platforms let you use the vertical space in your facility, creating additional floor area for storage or operations. Narrow Aisle Selective Racking can also increase storage density by reducing aisle space between racks.
Who makes custom racking systems for manufacturing facilities in Canada?
NAS Group manufactures racking and shelving in Canada and offers engineering and rack design, project management, installation, and ongoing support. Its team tailors each system to your materials, workflow, and space, and can help reconfigure or relocate racking as your needs evolve.
