Storage Platform Installation Expands Production Space

DVS was running out of room at its Colorado Springs facility and was considering purchasing a second location to support continued growth. They needed a way to increase storage capacity without disrupting day-to-day production or sacrificing valuable floor space.

The Challenge: Expand Storage Without Adding a New Building

The operation needed more usable space, but the production floor had to remain as open as possible. A 20-foot column span requirement was critical to keep workflows clear, safe, and efficient. The solution also needed to be installed with minimal disruption to business.

The Solution: 20′ x 80′ MiTek Storage Platform With Pallet Gates

Western Storage and Handling designed and installed a 20′ x 80′ MiTek storage platform to add a new level of usable storage and work space inside the existing building footprint. Pallet gates at each end support safe material flow between levels, and the platform was engineered to maintain the required 20-foot column span to protect production-floor efficiency.

Results: Increased Capacity With Minimal Disruption
