The Best Pipe & Joint System Alternatives

Designing and outsourcing your own custom racks for production, distribution, and warehouses can be expensive and time-consuming. Just like custom tools on the traditional manufacturing floor, costs and long lead times associated with the creation of custom production items can deflate the original purpose — a rapid return on investment.
The future of manufacturing requires custom racks and production aids that arrive on the floor faster and cheaper. Companies like Ford, Samsung, GM, Yamaha, and more understand the importance of ergonomic, mobile, and dynamic storage racks, carts, and gravity flow systems. Clever pipe and joint systems make custom workstations feasible on short lead times at a fraction of the cost of traditionally designed production or storage systems. High strength to weight ratio, low maintenance, and zero-weld installation enable disassembly for repurposing or reuse of components.

What makes pipe and joint systems so valuable, is that customization is infinite. Customized pipe lengths, fittings, lights, roller guides, and caster hardware highlight design freedom on an ‘a-la-carte’ basis. Just get the accessories or rack you need, and skip everything you don’t. Below you’ll find some inspiration on different configurations and purposes. Because the options are infinite, getting a quote  on a workstationcart rackgravity flow system is the best way to coordinate your exact specifications.
