How can automotive metal racks be customised?

Automotive metal racks can be made in various sizes and with various internal configurations. They can be customised to be adaptable to specific production, distribution and storage requirements.
Ferrero Automotive builds made-to-measure metal racks. We can oversee every stage of the rack design, from the initial study phase, starting with a 3D model of the components provided by our customers, to design and production. This makes it possible to adapt the racks perfectly to the specific dimensions of the automotive components they will contain. This guarantees improved safety during transport and a more effective use of storage space.

One of the various possible types of customisation of the metal racks is the insertion of pillars designed to permit the loading and unloading of components by robots. These pillars make it possible to support the parts by using  mobile flaps that activate automatically during loading operations without the need for the operators to intervene. The pillars can be configured in different ways to be adapted to various shapes and sizes of components, thereby maximising the available space and improving the accessibility of the parts. The particular structure of the automotive rack with stacker pillars has been designed to prevent the components from moving and coming into contact with each other, thereby reducing the risk of damage to a minimum and ensuring that the parts are protected during every stage of the productive and logistic process.

Another important aspect of the customisation of metal automotive racks is the choice of the typology of paint and coatings. Our paintwork techniques, whether with powder or liquid, not only make it possible to protect the metal from corrosion and wear and tear, but also offer a vast range of colours and finishes. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the racks, and at the same time facilitates identification and handling, as they can be distinguished in this way and used for specific categories of product or productive process.
