HANNIBAL INDUSTRIES RELEASES VIDEO ILLUSTRATING CASE STUDY ON PUSHBACK RACK SYSTEM

HANNIBAL INDUSTRIES RELEASES VIDEO ILLUSTRATING CASE STUDY ON PUSHBACK RACK SYSTEM

Hannibal Industries, Inc. released a video covering the implementation of its Pushback Rack System in M.G. Produce's warehouse located in Vernon, Calif. Baltin Rack, a distributor of Hannibal Industries' products, worked closely alongside Andrew Kirby, the inventor of Hannibal's patented TubeRack, to provide a unique solution to M.G. Produce's warehousing needs. To view the video, go to: youtu.be/DdwIP5EY0dk.

"Our new video on this case study serves to clearly explain and demonstrate the competitive benefits Hannibal Industries' Pushback Rack System brings to a warehouse," said Steve Rogers, executive vice president at Hannibal Industries. "We are proud of the results we were able to deliver for M.G. Produce working alongside our partners at Baltin Rack, and we look forward to working more with them on design projects in the future."


M.G. Produce of Vernon, Calif. has grown to become the largest domestic and international supplier of Asian fruits and vegetables for North America. To keep up with its rapid growth, the company moved into a 70,000-square-foot, custom-built state-of-the-art warehouse designed by Baltin Rack.

"Pushback Rack is very easy to use, and it has saved us a great deal of space," comments Sueng-min Yoon, founder of M.G. Produce. "It increased our warehouse space by 30 percent while reducing our labor costs by 20 percent - and that is quite an accomplishment!"

The core element of the warehouse design is Hannibal's unique Pushback Systems that are manufactured using heavy-duty structural tube support rails along with encapsulated flanged wheeled carts. The benefits to M.G. Produce include:

• The tubular rails offer an economic strength to weight ratio, up to 3,000 pounds capacity.
• Produced in Hannibal's nearby Los Angeles factory, the structural steel construction ensures long life in tough warehouse environments.
• The unique 2-6 deep design provides trouble-free operation and extensive built-in safety features.
• The flanged wheel design with tube rails prevents debris from being caught in the system, ensuring continuous smooth rolling action and cleaner environment - ideal for fruits and vegetable storage.
• Pushback Systems have a lower profile than other cart type systems, allowing extra life clearance and the possibility of an extra level of storage. They also feature a high-quality powder coat finish.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
