Zekelman Industries plans a fully automated warehouse for Wheatland Tube
Zekelman Industries has announced plans to build a fully automated warehouse at its Wheatland Tube facility in Warren, Ohio. The 83,000-sq.-ft., 65-ft.-high building is scheduled to begin operating in December 2022.
The $30 million warehouse will convey pipe from the production lines of the manufacturing facility into the warehouse storage system. From there, pipe is automatically moved out of storage to an enclosed truck-loading area with minimal human interaction.
Wheatland Tube produces steel tubular products including standard steel pipe, galvanized mechanical tubing, fence framework, fire sprinkler pipe, electrical conduit, elbows, couplings, and nipples.
