Building Products Yard Transformation
AOLS transformed an inefficient outdoor storage yard into a high-density, organised storage facility through the design and installation of a purpose-built cantilever racking system.
Discuss Your ProjectProject Overview
AOLS was engaged to redesign an existing outdoor storage yard used for timber and building products.
The project focused on replacing traditional ground storage with engineered cantilever racking to improve storage capacity, accessibility and operational efficiency while creating a safer working environment and supporting future business growth.
Case Study Details
The existing yard relied heavily on products being stacked directly on the ground across a large hardstand area.
This limited storage density, reduced stock visibility, restricted vehicle access and created inefficiencies in product handling, inventory management and material movement.
The client required a solution that would maximise available yard space without increasing the site's physical footprint.
AOLS designed and implemented a complete outdoor storage solution including:
Outdoor storage analysis
Cantilever racking design
Storage optimisation
Yard layout planning
Traffic flow improvements
Installation coordination
A heavy-duty cantilever racking system was designed specifically for long and bulky building materials including timber, steel and structural products.
The new layout improved stock organisation while increasing storage density and creating clear vehicle access routes throughout the yard.
The modular design also provides scalability, allowing future storage expansion as operational requirements increase.

Scalable storage solution for future growth
The completed project substantially improved operational efficiency by increasing storage capacity while reducing handling times and improving accessibility to stored products.
The new storage system enables faster stock retrieval, improved inventory management and more effective use of available yard space.
Efficient outdoor storage has a direct impact on productivity, safety and operational costs.
By replacing traditional ground storage with a purpose-built cantilever racking system, AOLS delivered a durable, long-term solution that improves day-to-day operations while supporting the client's future growth and increasing the overall value of the site.
