Shipping containers face a constant struggle to optimize storage space and accessibility within a confined area. Organization of stored material is also important for accurate inventory and streamlined loading/unloading. To create an improved solution to container storage, PBC Linear collaborated with a leading designer in storage containment. The task was straightforward: design a racking system that maximized organization and storage for cargo. PBC Linear recommended implementing their high load capacity Hevi-Rail® linear bearing solution installed in a specially designed assembly.
In the past, storage containers were filled by piling materials on top of each other; lacking any sense of organization. Finding a specific part within the filled container was extremely tedious, as was organizing and unloading materials after they had been knocked around for a week while travelling to their destination. The design team set out to solve this problem by designing internal framing to store materials and maintain organization for the duration of the shipment. After this was completed, they began to seek out quality linear motion components that could be manually operated and endure the containment load and environment.
