Kevina provided a customized warehouse racking solution for an automotive parts customer in Barbados. The project was developed for a newly built warehouse and included heavy duty pallet racking, steel wire decking, storage shelving, and plastic storage bins.
The customer visited our manufacturing facility in person and compared Kevina with several other suppliers before making the final decision. After evaluating product quality, pricing, engineering capability, communication, and service, the customer selected Kevina as their preferred warehouse racking supplier.
Because the new warehouse is located close to the coast, corrosion resistance was also an important consideration. Based on the customer's operating environment, Kevina provided racking components with professional surface treatment to improve corrosion resistance and ensure reliable long-term use.
The customer is an automotive parts company based in Barbados and was preparing a new warehouse to support its growing storage and distribution requirements.
The new facility needed a practical and durable storage system capable of handling different types and sizes of automotive parts and warehouse inventory.
The customer required a combination of pallet racking, shelving, and storage accessories rather than a single standardized storage system.
Another important requirement was corrosion resistance. Since the warehouse is located near the sea, the customer specifically wanted to reduce the risk of surface corrosion during long-term operation.
Based on the customer's warehouse requirements, Kevina developed a storage configuration covering both palletized goods and smaller automotive parts.
The main supplied components included:
Heavy duty pallet racking columns
Heavy duty rack beams
Steel wire decking
Storage shelving
Plastic storage bins
The pallet racking system included multiple beam lengths and configurations to adapt to different storage areas within the warehouse.
The supplied shelving was designed with four storage levels and a load capacity of up to 500 kg per level, providing a dedicated solution for smaller and manually handled automotive parts.
The project included multiple pallet racking components with different dimensions to meet the layout and storage requirements of the new warehouse.
The supplied racking configuration included:
Column sections with different widths to accommodate the warehouse layout
Rack beams in multiple lengths and load configurations
Steel wire decking in different sizes
4-level storage shelving
Plastic storage bins for smaller automotive parts and accessories
This combination allowed the customer to organize inventory according to product size, weight, handling frequency, and storage method.
Rather than applying a single standard rack configuration throughout the warehouse, the solution was adapted to the customer's actual storage requirements.
One of the key considerations in this project was the warehouse's location near the sea.
Coastal environments can expose steel storage equipment to higher humidity and salt-laden air, increasing the importance of proper surface preparation and coating.
To address the customer's concern, Kevina applied professional surface treatment to the racking components.
Before coating, the steel components undergo pickling and phosphating treatment to clean and prepare the metal surface. This treatment helps improve coating adhesion and provides an additional layer of protection against corrosion.
For this project, the surface treatment was selected specifically with the customer's coastal warehouse environment in mind.
This allowed Kevina to provide a more suitable long-term storage solution rather than simply supplying standard warehouse racks.
After the technical configuration was confirmed, Kevina proceeded with production according to the agreed specifications.
The columns, beams, steel wire decking, shelving, and other components were manufactured and prepared for shipment.
Throughout the production process, the components were checked for dimensions, welding quality, surface treatment, and overall finish before packing.
The project also included different component sizes, which required careful production and packing management to ensure that the correct quantities and specifications were delivered to the customer.
Once production was completed, the racking components were carefully packed and prepared for container loading.
Because warehouse racking contains long and irregular steel components, efficient loading is important for protecting the products during international transportation and maximizing container utilization.
Kevina's team organized the columns, beams, wire decking, shelving, and accessories according to the loading plan before shipment.
The completed shipment was then dispatched to Barbados for installation at the customer's new warehouse.
After the goods arrived in Barbados, the customer proceeded with installation at the new warehouse.
The customer shared installation photos and videos with Kevina, showing the racking system being assembled and put into operation.
The completed system provided organized storage for palletized automotive parts as well as smaller components and accessories.
The project was successfully completed, and the customer provided positive feedback on the product quality, communication, and service provided by Kevina.
More importantly, this project became the beginning of a long-term business relationship.
After the initial order, the customer continued to work with Kevina for additional warehouse storage requirements and became a repeat customer.
For Kevina, this project demonstrates that successful international warehouse racking projects are not only about supplying steel products. They require a combination of product quality, customized engineering, manufacturing capability, professional communication, reliable delivery, and after-sales support.
