Project Background
A mid-sized apparel manufacturer faced increasing pressure as SKU diversity, seasonal fluctuations, and rapid order cycles continued to rise.
Although the warehouse had a clear height of 7.2 meters, only the ground floor was utilized. This resulted in:
Low space utilization
Mixed and disorganized inventory
Slow picking and replenishment speed
Difficulty handling e-commerce order peaks
To address these challenges, the company decided to implement a HEGERLS steel platform system, transforming the warehouse into a multi-level, high-efficiency operation.
Solution Overview
HEGERLS provided a custom-designed 557 m² steel platform, built to support apparel storage characteristics and tailored to the customer’s operations. The solution included:
Steel platform structure, maximizing vertical space
Load capacity designed for apparel cartons and hanging items
Integrated staircases, safety railings, and pallet gates
Optimized layout for fast picking and streamlined replenishment paths
Durable powder-coated finish to resist wear and corrosion
Key Features
High Space Utilization: The steel platform created an additional operational level, effectively doubling usable storage area without expanding warehouse footprint.
Improved Picking Efficiency: Clear zoning separated fast-moving, slow-moving, and seasonal items, allowing workers to quickly locate and pick products.
Strong Structural Stability: The platform meets industrial load-bearing requirements for apparel logistics, supporting both carton storage and light shelving.
Flexible Layout for Future Expansion: The modular design allows future extensions and reconfiguration as SKU quantity or business volume grows.
Implementation Highlights
Total Area: 557 m²
Platform Type: Steel platform structure
Application: Apparel cartons, accessories, and seasonal stock
Project Duration: From design to installation, completed in approximately 25 days
Customer Benefits
100% Increase in Storage Capacity: By using vertical space effectively, the storage density doubled.
