Food Distribution
Move High-Volume Goods Safely, Efficiently, and Profitably
Advance Storage Products engineers pallet storage systems for the speed, density, and reliability that food distribution demands — from dock to truck, every shift.
Food distribution operations are under constant pressure to move more product, faster, with less margin for error. Decision makers must balance throughput, labor constraints, and food safety — often within facilities that are already at capacity.
Common concerns include:
Bottlenecks that limit outbound velocity and dock efficiency
Inefficient use of vertical space across ambient and refrigerated zones
SKU proliferation and inconsistent pallet profiles that complicate slotting
Damage, mis-picks, and inventory inaccuracies under high-volume pressure
FIFO compliance requirements for temperature-sensitive, perishable goods
Storage systems that can't scale with growth or integrate with automation
When downtime occurs or flow breaks down, customer service and profitability are immediately impacted.
Food Distributor Installation
770,000 square feet of engineered racking!
Watch this 15-week installation for a food and beverage distributor consisting of:
146,000 pallet positions
100 rows
773 aisles of double deep selective pallet racking
Engineered for the Way Food Distribution Actually Moves Product
Advance Storage Products designs structural, roll form, and Fusion pallet storage systems custom-engineered for high-volume, temperature-sensitive food distribution environments. Every system is built to maximize efficiency, durability, and ROI — never off the shelf.
Maximize Cube Utilization Engineered rack configurations that put every cubic foot of your facility to work — reducing footprint, energy cost, and wasted capacity.
Increase Throughput with High-Density Systems Double Deep and Lo-Pro™ Pushback reduce aisle count and travel time, getting more product in and out per shift.
Automation-Ready Structures Roll form systems built to the tight tolerances required by high-speed AS/RS, shuttle, and conveyor integrations — a clear path to scalable automation.
Durability for Constant Traffic Structural and Fusion systems withstand continuous forklift impact, on-floor abuse, and the wear that high-volume distribution puts on racking every day.
Scalable Layouts That Grow With You Systems designed to adapt as SKUs, volumes, and fulfillment strategies evolve — without requiring a full facility restart.
Engineered Storage Solutions
-
The strongest, most durable rack available — abuse- and impact-resistant, repairable on-site with no downtime, and engineered to exceed RMI standards with P.E.-stamped calculations to current IBC and seismic codes.
Value for Food Distribution: maximum longevity in heavy DC traffic.
-
Cost-effective, easily adjustable, and integration-ready — built to the tight tolerances that high-speed AS/RS, shuttle, and robotic systems require, with zinc-coated finishes that resist scrapes and rust creep.
Value for Food Distribution: lower system cost and a clear path to automation.
-
A hybrid system placing structural steel at high-impact points and roll form components everywhere else — durability approaching full structural at a significantly lower installed cost. Damaged components swap in minutes without welding.
Value for Food Distribution: strength where it matters, savings everywhere else.
-
The semi-automatic ISATellite (built by Cassioli) stores deep-lane loads exceeding 30 pallets with real-time, operator-controlled monitoring — maximizing cube and throughput while reducing labor dependency.
Value for Food Distribution: deep-lane density at high throughput, with minimal headcount.
