Honeyville Farms is an innovator and leader in the food industry. Honeyville stores allow customers access to some of the food industries top ingredients. Hoj Engineering helped Honeyville Farms with a customized Tube Rack solution to expand warehouse capacity. Hoj understood that load weights and rack height planned for this building would challenge the structural code compliance of the new floor and the anchors of the building. Hoj has been a strategic dealer with Hannibal who provides an innovative new rack technology called Tube Rack. The Tube Rack utilizes horizontal bolted frame connectors to create a frame that allows lower footplate and anchor stress. This new patented product allowed for taller frames, picking up a 20 percent gain of pallet capacity while meeting the IBC (International Building Code) rack and building code requirements.
Layne Marchant, plant manager at Honeyville in Ogden, Utah, shared that the company built a new 200,000 square foot facility and had to have the warehouse portion functional in a short time frame. Marchant shared, “They provided input on building bay dimensions to help us optimize our space before the building was ever started. Some of the challenges were the weight of the pallets, and the heights of the rack. To maintain code compliance of the concrete floor specs, while trying to maximize racking height, we had to maintain small foot plates that do not affect efficiency on the floor.”
Hoj was one step ahead in coming up with solutions that kept Marchant on time and on budget. The Hoj engineers visited other Honeyville facilities and helped put a plan in place to utilize some existing racking that would still meet engineering specifications. Marchant added, “Hoj’s pricing was straight forward, open, and transparent from the start.”
