Custom Automotive Shelving Installation to Maximize Shop Efficiency

Young Ford recently opened a new location in Brigham City, UT and needed a reliable storage solution to keep their parts department organized and efficient. Our team at Material Handling USA supplied a tailored shelving system using box edge shelving in a custom blue and white finish. The result was a professional, high-functioning space that’s ready to support a busy service operation.

The Situation: A New Dealership in Need of a Reliable Storage System

When Young Ford launched their new dealership, it was clear that a well-organized parts department would be critical. Service departments rely on accurate, fast access to parts to minimize downtime and keep vehicles moving through the shop. From brake pads to spark plugs, every item needs a designated space.

They needed shelving that could maximize space, allow for quick retrieval, and adapt to a constantly changing inventory.

The Solution: Custom Box Edge Shelving Built for Automotive Parts

To solve this challenge, we installed a complete system of heavy-duty box edge shelving, configured for automotive storage. This type of shelving is ideal for service environments where durability and flexibility are essential.

We also included a set of integrated drawers, providing additional organization for small tools and specialty parts. And the bold blue and white color gave the space a polished, high-end appearance that matches Young Ford’s branding.

What Is Automotive Parts Shelving?

Specialized Shelving for Service Departments

Automotive parts shelving is built specifically for service centers that store a wide range of parts and accessories. These systems must support various weights and sizes, from small electrical components to large mechanical parts.

The shelving we supplied included adjustable dividers and shelves, allowing staff to reconfigure the layout as their inventory shifts — helping reduce clutter and improve workflow.

Built for Strength, Designed for Flexibility

Box edge shelving stands out due to its reinforced shelf edges, which add strength and prevent sagging over time. This is especially important in auto repair shops, where shelves need to hold heavy, oddly shaped components without failing.

With drawer options and moveable dividers, the system becomes more than shelving — it’s a complete organization solution. Small parts like sensors, gaskets, clips, and tools can be stored safely and sorted easily.
