FREEZER TO FORKLIFT: 5 INNOVATIONS FOR OUR FOOD SERVICE CLIENT

At Meriton Industries, we specialize in delivering innovative warehouse solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Recently, we undertook a large-scale project for a client in the food servicing industry, tasked with serving restaurants, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions with their daily food requirements. Here’s an indepth look at the project.

CLIENT PROFILE

Our client operates within the food servicing industry, supplying a wide range of establishments with their daily food needs. With diverse client requirements and stringent safety standards, the client needed a warehouse solution tailored to their specific needs.

Our food industry client’s speciality requirements included:

1.Structural racking for freezer conditions

Given the freezer conditions of the space, our client required structural racking capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. We designed and implemented structural racking solutions engineered to sustain freezer environments, ensuring durability and longevity.

2.Cant-leg frame design

To mitigate potential forklift damage, we incorporated a 'cant-leg' frame design, where the bottom section is recessed. This innovative design feature enhances the integrity of the structure while minimizing the risk of damage caused by forklift operations.

3. Clear-height optimization

With a very high clear-height in the building, reaching up to 44 feet, the design capitalized on this feature to implement very high racking solutions, effectively optimizing the use of vertical space.

4. Custom fire baffles

Safety was paramount for our client, and this necessitated custom fire baffles to meet their safety and insurance requirements. The Meriton team designed and implemented specialized custom fire baffles to enhance safety measures within the warehouse environment, ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards.

5. Project management and execution

We managed the entire project and oversaw the manufacturing, delivery, and installation of over one million pounds of steel. We’re pleased to report a seamless execution and timely delivery of the project, too.
