Custom Engineered Carts, Racks, and Automation Solutions
Built around your process, not pulled from a catalog.
If your plant is dealing with bottlenecks, congestion, or inefficient handling of large assemblies, you don’t have a labor problem. You have a material flow problem.
Plymouth Industries partners with heavy equipment manufacturers to engineer custom material handling solutions that improve throughput, reduce handling, and protect your product at every stage of production.
Where Most Agriculture Equipment Plants Lose Efficiency
The Environment
Heavy agriculture manufacturing environments are complex by nature:
- Large weldments and assemblies
- Multiple subassembly stages
- Mixed automation and manual processes
- High variation in part sizes and weights
The Problems
- WIP stacking up between stations
- Forklifts becoming a crutch instead of a tool
- Product damage during movement and staging
- Operators spending time handling, not producing
- Floor space consumed by inefficient storage
These problems don’t fix themselves with more labor or more equipment. They require better engineering of how material moves through your plant.
We Engineer How Your Plant Moves
We don’t start with a product, we start with your process. Our team works directly with your plant to:
- Analyze material movement between operations
- Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies
- Design solutions that integrate into your workflow
- Prototype and validate before full production
No obligation. Just practical insight. From concept to fabrication, everything is handled in-house, ensuring faster turnaround, tighter control, and better results. Most opportunities are uncovered in the first conversation. Let’s identify where your plant is losing time, space, and money and fix it.
Solutions Built for Heavy Equipment Manufacturing
Work-In-Process (WIP) Carts
Purpose-built carts designed to move assemblies efficiently between workstations, without damage, delay, or wasted motion.
- Reduce bottlenecks between operations
- Improve line-side staging
- Protect large or complex assemblies
- Support lean manufacturing flow
Returnable Shipping Racks
Custom-engineered racks that protect your product, maximize payload, and reduce long-term packaging costs.
- Eliminate one-way packaging waste
- Increase shipping density
- Prevent product damage in transit
- Integrate with your production flow
Well-designed racks maximize payload and ensure safe transport, even under harsh handling conditions .
Stack Racks & High-Density Storage
Flexible, reusable storage systems that increase capacity without expanding your footprint.
- Stack 3–6 high to maximize vertical space
- Reduce floor congestion
- Improve organization and accessibility
- Adapt to changing production needs
Industrial Wire Baskets & Parts Bins
Durable, stackable solutions for managing components, raw materials, and in-process inventory.
- Improve visibility and inventory control
- Support repeat handling in tough environments
- Optimize storage density
- Reduce clutter and inefficiency
Certified Lifting Devices & Handling Attachments
Engineered solutions for safely lifting and positioning heavy or awkward components.
- Reduce operator risk and strain
- Improve precision handling
- Increase safety compliance
- Custom-designed for your parts and processes
All lifting devices are engineered, stress analyzed, and load tested to meet strict safety standards .
Integrated Conveyor & Automation Systems
When carts and racks aren’t enough, we design and build systems that automate material flow.
- Reduce manual handling
- Increase throughput
- Eliminate bottlenecks
- Integrate into existing production lines
Automation solutions are designed to increase production flow, reduce labor dependency, and improve overall efficiency .
