Case Study: Producers Dairy doubles cooler capacity with Interlake Mecalux Pallet Shuttle

Producers Dairy Has Doubled Its Storage Capacity With the Pallet Shuttle From Interlake Mecalux

Producers Dairy, a California-based dairy products supplier and distributor, needed to replace an outdated, inoperable pallet racking system in its 50,000 ft² cooler at its Fresno plant. The aging four-level setup had become unreliable and had reduced the facility’s pallet storage capacity to about 180 positions, creating a major operational challenge.

Interlake Mecalux implemented a semi-automated Pallet Shuttle system to maximize cold-storage space and streamline handling. The new solution doubled storage capacity to about 360–370 pallets, reduced utility costs by eliminating pneumatic equipment, and enabled Producers Dairy to prepare up to 300 orders per day while improving flexibility for inventory buffering and maintenance shutdowns.
