The company I work for has well over 100 part check fixtures of various sizes and weight. We currently keep most on carts and use a rack for fixtures not often used. The owner of the company wants to have the fixtures in an organized setup, like a shelving setup, remove most of the carts. What do you use for storage of your check fixtures? Note, we do not have extra space, this is a premium. I was thinking of a rack system along a wall or two using a hilo to place and remove fixtures. A fantasy would be to have a universal platform the fixture(s) would rest on in the rack. Have hilo fork access tubes for some form of security while lifting and moving. Have the platforms rest on any special cart made, (like a wire basket sitting on another for stacking) to secure the platform to the cart, when done, hilo lifts platform and places it in home cubical on the rack. There is more to this, but the big question is the cost, figure minimal to nothing. I am curious how other shops contain many check fixtures with easy access.
Thanks in advance, maybe this might help others with the same concern.
