Why racking and shelving

When your parts don't fit standard storage, we build storage that fits your parts.

Manufacturing facilities deal with parts and components that standard warehouse shelving simply wasn’t designed for — irregular shapes, heavy loads, odd dimensions, or specialized handling requirements. Generic bins and off-the-shelf racks create workarounds, waste space, and increase retrieval time.

IPS racking and shelving systems are engineered specifically for your inventory — cantilever racks for long or awkward stock, flat shelving for organized parts storage, or custom stands for tooling and fixtures. Every configuration is built around your facility layout to support a lean, organized production environment.

Common Applications

Where Modular Racking and Shelving Makes the Difference

From component bins to cantilever long stock — modular racking that fits your parts, not the other way around.

01

Component and Parts Storage

Configurable bin shelving sized to your components — no wasted space, no lost parts.

02

Tooling, Fixture and Die Storage

Heavy-duty racking for tooling and fixtures — organized, accessible, and off the floor.

03

WIP Storage and Inventory Staging Near Production

Rack systems positioned close to the line to stage WIP and buffer inventory without clutter.

04

Bulk or Oversized Item Storage

Wide-span shelving for awkward, bulky, or irregular items that don't fit standard bins.

05

Mixed-use Storage for Varying SKUs

Adjustable shelf configurations that accommodate multiple part sizes and SKU counts in one bay.

06

Cantilever Racks for Long Stock

Arms-out cantilever design for bars, tubes, extrusions, and other long or awkward stock.

Built for Your Operation

Custom Racking and Shelving Configured to Your Space, Your Inventory, Your Workflow

No two facilities store the same materials in the same space. IPS racking systems are modular by design — configured, expanded, or adjusted as inventory changes. From single-bay shelving to multi-level systems, every configuration is engineered to maximize usable space while keeping inventory visible and accessible.

Why IPS

A Complete Gravity Flow Rack System, Not Just a Box of Parts

Built on AluPro and Ecoflex

Using a pipe & joint system? Ecoflex is fully compatible. Ready for a step up? AluPro is our premium system built for demanding lean production environments.

Engineered Around Your Cell

No off-the-shelf racks. We work from your cell layout, bin sizes, and replenishment cycle to design a system that fits your floor exactly.

Turnkey Systems or Components

Need a complete installed system? We deliver it fully assembled, ready to roll into your cell. Prefer to build in-house? Our full component catalog is available to order directly.

Engineering Support Included

Every project includes practical engineering support — structural validation, layout review, and 3D CAD drawings submitted for your approval before anything is built. No extra fees.

How we work

From First Conversation to Your Production Floor in Three Steps

01 Tell Us About Your Project

Share your layout, sketch, or BOM. Our project managers gather dimensions, bin specs, and cell constraints — and guide you through anything you need.

02 Design and Approval

Our engineers design your system in 3D CAD and submit drawings for your review. Nothing goes into production without your sign-off.

03 Delivery and Installation

Arrives fully assembled. Roll it into your cell and you're running. Most projects delivered in as little as 2-3 weeks.

Build it yourself

Prefer to design and build in-house? We have you covered.

Our full component catalog — frames, connectors, roller tracks, accessories, and casters is available for teams that want to build their own lean systems.
