At Carolina Material Handling, Inc., we specialize in providing durable, high-capacity storage and handling solutions for fabricators, welders, and metalworking operations across the Southeast. Whether you’re storing sheet metal, tubing, or custom components, we’ll help you maximize space, protect inventory, and streamline your workflow.

Top Solutions for Metal Fabrication Facilities:

Cantilever Racks
The go-to storage system for long, heavy materials like steel tubing, bar stock, aluminum, and sheet metal. Cantilever racks offer easy access and high weight capacity for efficient material storage.

Pallet Rack Systems
Store skidded raw materials, tooling, and finished parts with strong, reliable pallet racking. We offer selective, drive-in, and heavy-duty configurations to match your floor space and inventory.

Wire Cages & Partitions
Secure high-value tools, specialty metals, or welding supplies with industrial wire cages. Use them to create tool cribs or restricted areas within your shop.

Heavy-Duty Carts & Work Tables
Transport and stage heavy components with flatbed carts and steel work tables. Designed for fabrication environments, these mobile stations reduce lifting and speed up production.

Industrial Casters
Keep your custom tables, carts, and fixtures mobile with casters that can handle heat, debris, and heavy loads. We offer high-capacity swivel, rigid, and brake casters ideal for fabrication shops.

Hand Trucks
Move smaller fabricated parts or boxed supplies easily with durable steel or convertible hand trucks—great for tool movement and part delivery.

Pallet Jacks
A must-have in every fabrication shop. Easily move heavy skids of material, components, or outgoing products across your shop floor or loading dock.

Stretch Wrap Machines
Bundle and secure finished parts for shipment. Our stretch wrap machines improve packaging efficiency and ensure your products arrive safely.

Guardrails & Column Protectors
Add protection to pedestrian zones, equipment, and rack systems. Guardrails help prevent damage in high-traffic shop areas and improve safety compliance.

FAQs About

Hidden

What material handling and storage solutions does your team at Carolina Material Handling Inc. offer for metal fabrication shops?

We provide a full range of heavy-duty storage and handling equipment purpose-built for the demands of metal fabrication, including cantilever racks, pallet rack systems, wire cages and partitions, heavy-duty carts and work tables, industrial casters, hand trucks, pallet jacks, stretch wrap machines, and guardrails and column protectors. All products are selected to handle the heavy loads, sharp edges, and demanding workflows typical of fabrication, welding, and metalworking operations.

Why are cantilever racks the preferred storage solution for steel tubing, bar stock, and sheet metal?

Cantilever racks are specifically engineered for long, heavy materials like steel tubing, aluminum bar stock, and sheet metal that simply don’t fit on standard pallet racks. Their open arm design provides easy, unobstructed access to materials from the front, and they offer high weight capacity to handle the dense loads common in fabrication shops. This makes loading, unloading, and inventory retrieval significantly faster and safer compared to floor stacking or makeshift storage.

What pallet rack configurations does your team recommend for metal fabrication facilities?

We offer selective, drive-in, and heavy-duty pallet rack configurations for fabrication shops, allowing businesses to choose the system that best matches their floor space, inventory type, and workflow. Selective racks work well for direct access to individual SKUs of tooling and finished parts, while drive-in or high-density systems are better suited for storing larger quantities of skidded raw materials in a tighter footprint.

How can wire cages and partitions benefit a metal fabrication or welding shop?

Wire cages are ideal for creating secured tool cribs or restricted storage areas within a fabrication shop, protecting high-value tools, specialty metals, and welding supplies from unauthorized access or misplacement. The open wire construction maintains visibility throughout the caged area while providing a strong, lockable enclosure — helping shops improve accountability for expensive equipment and materials without fully walling off sections of the facility.

What types of casters do you carry for fabrication shop carts, tables, and fixtures?

We offer high-capacity swivel, rigid, and brake casters specifically suited to the challenging conditions of metal fabrication environments, where equipment must contend with heat, metal debris, and very heavy loads. Fitting custom tables, carts, and fixtures with the right industrial casters keeps workstations mobile and repositionable without compromising stability or safety on the shop floor.

How do heavy-duty carts and stretch wrap machines support production and shipping in a fabrication shop?

Flatbed carts and steel work tables allow fabricators to transport and stage heavy components efficiently between workstations, reducing manual lifting and speeding up the production process. On the outbound side, stretch wrap machines quickly and consistently bundle finished fabricated parts for shipment, improving packaging efficiency and ensuring products are well-protected and arrive at their destination without damage.

Do you provide custom layout planning and installation services for metal fabrication facilities?

Yes. we go beyond simply supplying equipment — they offer custom layout planning, load calculations, and product recommendations tailored to each shop’s specific space and operational needs, along with professional installation services. With over 50 years of experience with rugged industrial equipment and service coverage across multiple states, our team is well-equipped to help metal fabricators design and implement a storage and handling setup that works efficiently and safely under demanding conditions.
