Case Study: Interworld Freight boosts warehouse capacity with Interlake Mecalux push-back racking

Push Back the Chaos Interlake Mecalux’s Pallet Racking Solution

Interworld Freight, a Miami-based freight forwarding company, was facing a severe warehouse space crunch as its volume of imports and exports grew. With product piled on the floor, aging and damaged racks, and forklifts unable to operate safely, the company risked moving to a larger facility. It turned to Interlake Mecalux for help, evaluating options that included pallet racking and push-back storage to improve capacity and operations.

Interlake Mecalux implemented a warehouse optimization solution featuring Pallet Racks, Push-Back Racking Systems, VNA forklifts, and a rack-supported mezzanine. The new layout increased storage capacity by 35% to 38%, expanded the warehouse to 1,346 pallet positions, and helped Interworld Freight avoid a move that would have cost nearly $1 million over five years in rent and moving expenses. The results also included faster loading and unloading, fewer damaged goods, better inventory control, and a dramatic reduction in errors.
