Modular Industrial-Grade Racking & Shelving for Lean Manufacturing

Custom storage systems designed to organize WIP, parts, tools, and inventory within production environments.

  • Modular storage systems engineered for industrial use

  • Build cantilever racks, flat shelves, stands and more

  • Designed to support any sized load to maximize floor space

  • Configurable to store unusually shaped parts, tools, and materials

  • Optimized for in-plant organization and to enhance line-side parts presentation

Purpose-Built Storage for Manufacturing Operations

IPS engineered storage systems are designed for use in manufacturing, production, and industrial environments. These systems support efficient organization, safe handling, and reliable access to materials where durability and adaptability are required.

Our customized racking can be configured for all of your unusually shaped goods and parts. Cantilever racks, stands, or flat storage shelving options can help you optimally store tricky-to-organize goods across your facility. 

Designed to support light to heavy duty loads, our durable shelving structures provide an organized solution for storing large volumes of materials, products, or equipment to maximize floor space, and support just-in-time inventory management. Our modular racking systems can be customized to accommodate any component while ensuring the safe storage of your valuable parts. Enhance your facility’s accessibility and scalability, reduce retrieval time, and promote a safer, more efficient inventory workflow with custom storage solutions designed by IPS. 

Each solution is configured to suit your facility layout, inventory characteristics, and operational workflow, providing structured storage that integrates seamlessly into your operation.

Storage Solutions for Industrial Applications

Our racks and shelving are used wherever parts, tools, or materials need to be stored in an organized, accessible manner within a manufacturing facility.

Common applications include:
  • Component and parts storage

  • Tooling, fixtures, and die storage

  • Inventory organization near production areas

  • Bulk or oversized item storage

  • Mixed-use storage for varying SKUs

Configured for Your Space and Inventory

IPS rack and shelving systems are modular by design, allowing layouts to be configured, expanded, or adjusted as requirements change.

Configuration options include:
  • Adjustable shelf heights and spacing

  • Single- or multi-bay configurations

  • Custom frame sizes and load capacities

  • Open or enclosed access depending on use case

  • Racking configured in fixed locations or mobile on casters 

These systems are designed to maximize usable space while maintaining visibility and accessibility.

Engineered for Industrial Environments

IPS racks and shelving are designed for environments where strength, reliability, and accessibility are essential. Each system is built to support ongoing use in manufacturing and industrial settings. We serve all manufacturing industries including automotive, aerospace, furniture, electronics and more. 

From Concept to Your Production Floor. How it works:

1. Tell us about your project

Share your layout, sketch, or bill of materials and our project manager will work with you to gather the relevant information to get started including your storage requirements, inventory details or layout.

2. Design

With your collaboration, our engineers will design custom racking and shelving system configuration to suit your exact application and specifications. 3D CAD drawings and renderings will be submitted for your approval.

3. Delivery and Installation

Our team will will deliver your racking system fully assembled and turn key. In most cases your cart system arrives ready to be installed in your production cell. In some cases, we can deliver it in kitted form for you to assemble on site.

Our approach results in racking and storage solutions that fit your space, materials, and workflow.
