To facilitate full operational capacity of our warehouse we need all pallet racking in the warehouse functional and safe. The warehouse is currently short 18 bays due to damage resulting from fork truck damage.

Due to less-than-optimal storage capacity items are being placed in areas outside the shelving units creating further risk of employee injury and property damage.
