Shelving and storage guides
Archive storage, workshop shelving, pallet racking..
Provost, French manufacturer of metal shelving for professionals, will help you define your storage solution. Depending on your storage needs, the surface area available and the nature and load of the products stored, or the rotation of the type of goods offered, opt for appropriate storage and handling solutions.
What type of storage do you need?
If your business involves the storage of goods or raw materials, you need to choose a long-term solution adapted to the nature of your products, their packaging, their rotation and your activity.
Depending on these factors, storage structures differ radically: Shelving, beams or stringers, pallet racking, accumulation storage or carrier pushback.
Provost can help you make the right choice, in just a few steps.
Space-saving stock layout
To determine your equipment needs, we carry out a preliminary study of your storage area. Our advisors will support and guide you in your choice of a suitable, high-performance solution.
Whether you're in industry, mail order, or storing machined parts or mechanical components, Provost's various storage solutions and ranges can be adapted and modulated to meet your storage requirements.
Logistics and order preparation
Another important criterion is the rotation of your products. Depending on the case and the rhythm of your orders, your handling requirements and the frequency of handling may vary.
Order-picking activities involve a number of choices: manual picking, packing, wrapping... all different criteria and handling equipment requirements. To maximize productivity gains and optimize flows, consider a lean manufacturing solution.
Complement your material handling equipment by opting for the right solutions: forklifts, pallet trucks, lifting tables or order-picking stations... Optimize your storage capacity and material handling on your premises.
Whatever your business and whatever your needs, our advisors can not only answer your questions, but also guide you through a comprehensive storage and handling solution.
Product handling
Whether they're small and light, or rather bulky and heavy, it's important to ensure they're handled and transported in the right way. Depending on the case, different modes of transport can be used:
- Single-track forklift: designed to facilitate goods handling at the line's edge
- Pallet truck: to move goods on pallets and optimize weighing, choose a weighing pallet truck.
- Stacker: for leveling goods at the right height
Heavy loads and special storage
The format of your products may require specific storage solutions, such as storage on reels or cantilever storage.
