Associated provides turnkey warehouse consulting services. Whether you're constructing brand new warehouse space, moving to an alternate building or reconfiguring your current location, we have a dedicated team of consultants to help your organization maximize your warehouse investment through efficiency and productivity gains.

Warehouse Design

Associated specializes in turnkey solutions for material handling operations and designs and specifies systems for racking, automation, WMS, fleet management, order picking and any other storage or distribution requirements. In addition to systems engineering, we also offer floor and cubic space layout, including CAD drawings of automation and racking configurations.

Warehouse Racking Layout

Local storage and distribution space costs are at an all-time high, so it's a good idea to maximize storage density in any way you can. Associated's warehouse engineering group can configure highly efficient racking solutions, leveraging every inch of your building while still allowing a remarkably productive and high volume facility.

Warehouse Permitting

Engaging with local governments can quite often be a confusing and frustrating process, in particular when considering compliance with seismic, fire sprinkler and other code requirements. Our permitting group is accustomed to dealing with local code enforcement divisions and can be a real asset in helping you plan and navigate through the permitting and inspection process.

Automation Engineering

Associated's engineering team is second to none when it comes to warehouse automation. We design and set up conveyor solutions, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), sophisticated order picking solutions, AGVs and much more.

Mezzanine Design

Taking advantage of all the cubic space in your building using a mezzanine solution can be a smart and cost effective alternative to new construction or relocation. Associated's engineering group can design a range of catwalks, mezzanine systems, stairs, landings, lifts and platforms. In addition, we offer installation and fabrication services for all types of mezzanines.

Warehouse Moves

Planning and implementing a warehouse relocation can be an overwhelming and highly stressful undertaking. If you're planning a relocation, set up a meeting with Associated's warehouse consulting group to talk about timing, logistics and project management.

Warehouse Racking Installation and Removal

When you add racking, Associated's installation group can guarantee that the task is done properly, on schedule and in compliance with all local requirements. If you're replacing or removing racks, we can also help with tear-down and disposition of your old racking system.

Racking Inspection

Based on the guidelines of the Rack Manufacturers Institute, all racks need to be thoroughly examined once a year at the very least. More frequent inspections are suggested, and are mandatory after a lift truck impact or other occurrence that could impair the safety of your racks. Associated can conduct regular inspections, provide documentation and make recommendations on remediation and repair.
