As warehouse staff have been deemed essential during the COVID-19 disruption, many of us have continued to operate our warehouses and distribution centers, but perhaps at a slower pace. You may be asking yourself: how do we remain productive and profitable? Below are ideas that have helped customers like you who are trying to manage through the noise and take advantage of a disruptive environment. [...]
There is no doubt you know how messy a warehouse can get, and how quickly. Many times, warehouses get messy because there’s not a warehouse cleaning procedure in place to make sure it happens. Forklifts can track in mud, oversized doors let in more dust, and you might have stock coming in that’s already dusty. On top of that, disintegrating wooden pallets and pallet wrap [...]

K3 Werks is RMH System's very own line of industrial pallet racks, offering you everything you need in warehouse solutions.

We’re sure it’s happened to you at some point in your life. You’ll need to purchase something — maybe for your warehouse, maybe something for your home — and you spend hours researching which one is the best one.

But there’s a similar sentiment that we’re all about here at RMH Systems: “You have to spend money to save money.” Sometimes warehouse managers take a look at the price of new pallet racks and balk at the cost, or they don’t think that hiring a warehouse optimization consultant is worth the [...]
Once you decide on which pallet rack system you need — whether it’s our proprietary K3 Werks racks or one of the many fine pallet rack manufacturers we offer — there’s another very important step that you can’t forget about: installation. After all, pallet racks that arrive at your doorstep aren’t at all useful until they’re erected, so it’s very important that you choose the [...]
