The ElephantWall™ Topple Barrier System

The biggest name in topple barriers!

 idealwarehouse.com

In warehouses that use floor-stacked storage for goods like large paper rolls, food, beverages, etc. it only takes a nudge from a forklift for a stack to topple. And, if a 6000-lb. roll of paper falls, any nearby goods, equipmentor people, are in topple-trouble.

Measuring in at up to 20’ in height, the ElephantWall™ Topple Barrier System is like a giant guardrail, engineered using a strong, steel, steadfast double-post design. With its large safety-yellow presence creating both a visual and physical deterrent, ElephantWall™ significantly decreases the likelihood of a topple. And should a topple occur despite all prevention measures, ElephantWall™ contains the falling product(s) so nearby people, equipment, and goods are protected. 


 Anchored to the slab, the ElephantWall™ is simply built not to budge. The system is rated to withstand up to 9500 lbs. of vertical or horizontal load. 

With its modular design, ElephantWall™ offers flexible configuration options, and the outer structure can include a protected walkway for safe pedestrian passage. To easily configure a solution for your space, our interactive GRID design tool is an online app to generate layout options and even creates a full bill of materials.

The ElephantWall™ Topple Barrier system adds brawn to your warehouse safety plan, but it’s also a sound business choice, protecting operations from damaged goods, injured (or worse) workers, and cleanup-related business interruption.

Creating a protected area for floor-stacked storage is a simple, effective way to protect warehouse racking, vehicles, equipment, and workers. For more information on the ElephantWall™ Topple Barrier System visit idealwarehouse.com.

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.
