Gossner Foods is a leader in the dairy industry and a growing family business with three locations across the western United States. With space at a premium and energy conservation in this cold storage facility top of mind, Gossner elected to continue its use of the Storax Poweracks mobile racking system. “In the late 1990s we first utilized Poweracks at our Logan plant.

Comprised of a racking superstructure installed to a powered moving base, Poweracks replaces conventional static aisles with one moving aisle. This unique design combines direct access with a substantial increase in storage density. “Food manufacturers operating in a cold storage environment are acutely aware of the need to unite efficient space utilization, […]
