Making the most of your space

STACK-iT is a growing business located in Rangiora just north of Christchurch. We have a history going back 10 years in shelving and storage and pride ourselves on delivering common sense storage solutions that are tailored to suit your needs and budget. We are an enthusiastic team that is focused on our customers and working out how you can make the most of your space.

Our product range is carefully selected so that we can provide a solution for almost any situation. From maximizing garage space to delivering full warehouse fitouts to completing ‘turn-key’ dry stores we endeavour to be New Zealand’s preferred ‘storage solutions provider’.

Our team offers a free site visit and consultation to businesses looking to improve the storage layout of their factory or store. Many successful businesses have benefited from this consultation as it allowed them to gain knowledge from the STACK-iT team which has been built up over years of designing and delivering effective storage solutions across many sectors. We have found that often the business owner knows what he wants to achieve but is unaware of the products or system that can easily be tailored to fit the bill.

STACK-iT carries a large stock holding of our standard products enabling delivery within a few days of order. Larger projects with longer lead times are often delivered straight from the port with the STACK-iT install team being on-site, on time, anywhere in the country. We regard New Zealand as one marketplace thereby dispelling any perceived location disadvantages for businesses in regional areas. Check out the projects section of our website to see the projects we have delivered across New Zealand from Cape to Bluff.

Over the years the team at STACKiT have developed a great range of modular shelving and racking systems that can be configured to make the most of your space. A good example would be the vertical moulding/extrusion racks which are available in both single and double sided and come in a range of height and length options. Each unit has a builtin safety restrained bar which provides protection against sliding product while still allowing for adjustment of the product bay size. One of our more popular products within the fabrication industry is our Medium-Duty Cantilever Racking System, which allows for efficient storage of various sheets or lengths while reducing product damage by minimizing constant movement of stock.

A recent addition to the STACKiT range is our innovative iRS dry store system. iRS cleverly integrates the racking system into the steel structure of a store. Traditionally people build a store using a steel structure clad with corrugated iron and then go to a racking supplier to come up with a plan for the racking layout.

However, we are now offering a more efficient system, by utilizing the iRS system businesses gain serious space advantages through less wasted space while making very considerable savings on the project cost. With just one modular structure integrating both the store and storage functions the many advantages include less build time on site, fewer materials used, and the ability to easily add on or upgrade later. There are numerous size options available from 4 post single-sided units to protect timber from the elements to full-blown drive through merchant stores. The iRS system offers almost unlimited flexibility with design and is becoming increasingly popular especially with timber related businesses.

FSB Group recently installed a new automated spray line which brings real value to the cabinet, kitchen and furniture makers looking to outsource the finishing of their products.

The companies' existing spray booths and drying rooms give FSB better control of quality, consistency and increased volume of the finished product, meaning a better product for you and your client.

"Our speciality is commercial cabinetry, hotels, large office fit-outs and hospitality, where consistency of finish is paramount," says Factory Operations Manager, Paul Tucker. "The first runs we have done on this machine have been impressive. Not only have we been very pleased with the consistency of finish ourselves, but it has also promoted comments from both the architects and owners about its high quality and consistency."

Its vast volume, quality and consistency of finish will have real appeal to cabinetmakers and joiners who have ever had to send back panels to their spray subcontractors to respond.

"With this line, we can give them confidence that when they receive their product back from us, it will all be of the same high-quality finish to every panel, to every part," says Paul.

“For those who don't have the factory space or inclination to do their own finish work the new automated spray line is a very economical option giving them the ability to compete with the more prominent players without all the space and capital requirements of their own spray setups. In fact, they will be able to push out their product quicker and will gain the benefits of our investment in expertise and technology to ensure a premium product for their clients."
