Mobile Shelving System for Parts Storage | Wagner Building Supply Case Study

Two gray manual mobile shelving units with wheels allow for easy access. The partially open design reveals shelves brimming with beige file folders, offering an organized storage solution that optimizes space in offices or archives.

“See how Wagner Building Supply maximized space and improved inventory access with a high-density mobile shelving system.”

Three large white mobile storage cabinets with black handles are lined up side by side on tracks in a well-lit room.

When you’re operating in environments filled with flammable vapors, solvents, or combustible dusts, standard lifts just won’t cut it. Our line of compressed air-powered (pneumatic) work platforms are specifically engineered for paint booths, blast rooms, and prep areas where intrinsically safe equipment is not just recommended — it’s essential.

These lifts eliminate the need for electrical components that could create a spark, while offering unmatched safety, control, and performance. They are the go-to solution for companies prioritizing worker safety, OSHA compliance, and equipment longevity in high-risk environments.

The Situation:

Too Much Inventory, Not Enough Space

Like many supply retailers, Wagner Building Supply was feeling the pressure of increased SKUs, fast-moving parts, and a storage room that hadn’t kept pace. Their static shelving was functional, but it created dead space between aisles and required employees to navigate tight walkways and overstuffed shelves.

They needed a system that could:
– Maximize every square foot
– Provide flexible and expandable storage
– Speed up access to fast-moving inventory
– Improve safety and cleanliness
– Maintain a professional and durable appearance

And they needed it installed without interrupting operations or expanding their facility.

The Solution: Rolling Shelving Units + Quick-Grab End Shelves

We provided Wagner with a high-density rolling shelving unit setup, configured to store more in the same footprint. These systems sit on floor-mounted rails that allow the shelves to slide open and closed, compacting the entire system when access isn’t needed.

To make the system even more versatile, we included open end-of-aisle shelving. These fixed shelves on the outside of the mobile carriages are perfect for quick-access items — the parts and supplies employees reach for most often. They also provide convenient overflow space for seasonal or frequently rotated stock.

White sliding mobile shelving units with empty shelves are positioned on tracks over a wooden floor in a room with a white ceiling and fluorescent lighting. Two shelves have large black handles for moving the units.

Together, the mobile shelving system and compact storage shelves gave Wagner a streamlined, flexible layout designed for long-term growth.

Benefits:

A Smart Small Parts Organization System

The transformation was immediate. Employees could now locate and retrieve parts in seconds instead of minutes. Inventory is easier to count and rotate. Seasonal or high-turn items can live on the end shelves — making them accessible without opening a single aisle.

Some of the standout benefits include:
– Better stock visibility and inventory control
– More time focused on customers, less on searching
– A cleaner, safer work environment
– Higher employee satisfaction with easier workflows
– Room to grow with no need to change the layout

Return on Investment:

Savings Now and Later

Wagner Building Supply avoided costly construction, expansion, or operational downtime. By optimizing their existing footprint, they saw an immediate return in saved labor hours and reclaimed floor space.

But the real ROI is ongoing. Every minute saved, every injury avoided, and every inventory error reduced adds up over time. Their mobile shelving system will continue to:
– Reduce wasted time
– Lower costs from misplaced items
– Prevent safety issues caused by clutter
– Improve daily efficiency
– Delay or avoid facility expansion

They also gained the flexibility to handle future product growth and seasonal changes — all within their existing footprint.
