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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not all modular systems are built for lean production. Here’s how IPS stacks up.

Share your layout, sketch, or BOM. Our project managers gather dimensions, bin specs, and cell constraints — and guide you through anything you need.
Our engineers design your system in 3D CAD and submit drawings for your review. Nothing goes into production without your sign-off.
Arrives fully assembled. Roll it into your cell and you're running. Most projects delivered in as little as 2-3 weeks.
Our full component catalog — frames, connectors, roller tracks, accessories, and casters is available for teams that want to build their own lean systems.
