About Outlets at Traverse Mountain
Outlets at Traverse Mountain is a premier retail destination located in Lehi, Utah, at the intersection of I-15 and Traverse Mountain Boulevard. The shopping center features a mix of national brand outlet stores and local retailers serving the rapidly growing communities of Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, and the northern Utah County c or ridor. As one of the busiest retail centers along the Wasatch Front, the facility requires efficient back-of-house storage solutions that keep merchandise organized and accessible while maximizing selling floor space.
The Situation
Retail operations at Outlets at Traverse Mountain generate a constant flow of inventory that needs organized, accessible storage. Seasonal merchandise, overstock, restocking supplies, and administrative records all compete for limited back-of-house space. In a retail environment where every square foot of selling floor directly impacts revenue, dedicating excessive space to storage represents a direct opportunity cost.
The facility needed a storage system that could consolidate a large volume of merchandise and materials into a compact footprint while keeping everything organized and quickly accessible for retail staff. Traditional static shelving and storage rooms were not providing the density or organization needed to support efficient retail operations.
The Solution
Material Handling USA designed and installed an Aurora mechanical-assist mobile shelving systemat Outlets at Traverse Mountain. The system features multiple high-density carriages mounted on a floor-level t rack, with open cubby-style shelving configured for retail merchandise storage.
The Aurora system was configured with open-front cubby sections on each carriage, providing organized compartments for merchandise, supplies, and inventory. Each carriage operates with an ergonomic three-spoke handle for smooth, low-effort movement. The system eliminates multiple fixed aisles by compacting carriages together and creating a single working aisle on demand.
Features
Open Cubby Shelving
Each carriage features open-front cubby sections that provide organized compartments for merchandise. Items are visible and accessible without opening doors or drawers.
Mechanical-Assist Drive
Three-spoke ergonomic handles allow staff to open any aisle effortlessly, even when carriages are fully loaded with merchandise.
Multiple Carriage System
The system includes multiple independently moveable carriages, providing substantial storage density within a compact floor footprint.
Floor-Level T rack
Aurora’s twin ramp t rack system sits flush with the floor, eliminating tripping hazards and allowing carts to roll across without obstruction.
Professional Finish
Clean, neutral-tone panels and shelving give the system a professional appearance appropriate for retail back-of-house environments.
Scalable Design
Additional carriages or shelving sections can be added to the existing rail system as inventory volumes grow with seasonal demand.
Advantage
In a retail environment, the advantage of mobile shelving is straight for ward: more storage in less space means more floor area available for selling. Static shelving systems require a fixed aisle between every row, consuming significant square footage. Mobile shelving eliminates those fixed aisles by compacting rows together, typically recovering 40% to 50% of the floor space that static shelving would consume.
For a retail center like Outlets at Traverse Mountain, where tenant square footage directly c or relates with lease costs and revenue potential, that space efficiency has real financial impact. The open cubby design adds another advantage by keeping merchandise visible and organized without the overhead of labeled bins or closed storage containers.
Benefits
Maximized Selling Floor
By consolidating back-of-house storage into a compact mobile shelving system, the facility retains more square footage for customer-facing retail operations. In a retail environment, selling floor space is the primary revenue driver.
Organized Merchandise
The cubby-style shelving keeps merchandise s or ted by category, size, or SKU. Staff can locate and retrieve items quickly during restocking, reducing downtime and improving the customer experience.
Seasonal Flexibility
Retail inventory volumes fluctuate with seasons, promotions, and new product arrivals. The mobile shelving system accommodates these fluctuations without requiring additional storage space or off-site warehousing.
Reduced Labor Time
Organized, accessible storage reduces the time staff spend searching for merchandise in the back. Faster restocking means shelves stay full on the selling floor and customers find what they need.
Return on Investment
The return on investment for mobile shelving in a retail environment is driven by the value of recovered floor space. Every square foot freed from back-of-house storage becomes available for selling floor, merchandise displays, or tenant improvements. In a competitive retail market like the Lehi-Saratoga Springs c or ridor, where population growth is driving strong consumer demand, maximizing usable retail space directly supports revenue growth.
Operational efficiency gains contribute additional ROI. Faster merchandise retrieval, reduced restocking times, and better inventory organization all reduce labor costs and improve customer satisfaction. The Aurora system’s limited lifetime warranty and minimal maintenance requirements ensure the investment delivers value for years.
