Maximizing Space in Dallas: Spacemaker’s Elevated QuadAxis Pro® Project
In today’s warehouse landscape, vertical space is often the most underutilized asset. Spacemaker’s latest project with H&D Distributors, Inc. in Dallas, Texas, proves what’s possible when smart automation meets vertical ingenuity.
The project features a QuadAxis Pro® system supporting just over 500 pallet positions—but what makes it truly special is where it’s going: on a steel mezzanine, above an existing carousel system.
A Smarter Layout for a Smarter Operation
For over 40 years, H&D Distributors has delivered technical sealing solutions across diverse industries. Their Dallas facility demanded a system that could scale storage while preserving operational floor space.
Spacemaker’s answer? A multi-directional shuttle system installed on a structural platform, unlocking previously inaccessible cubic volume without sacrificing existing automation infrastructure.
This is not just an efficiency win—it’s an architectural one.
QuadAxis Pro®: Built for Complexity
At the heart of the project is Spacemaker’s QuadAxis Pro®, a four-way shuttle system ideal for dense, dynamic environments. With its ability to move both within and between lanes, the system supports:
- Tight layouts without compromise
- Lane sharing and redistributing across mezzanine zones
- Smooth coordination with lower-level systems like carousels
- High visibility and control via Spacemaker’s Traffic Control software and Warehouse Control System
Maximizing Volume, Minimizing Footprint
By going up, not out, Spacemaker and H&D Distributors are redefining what’s possible in a mid-sized facility:
- Over 500 pallet positions in a compact envelope
- Full preservation of ground-floor automation
- Seamless control of shuttle and carousel operations
- Enhanced ROI on vertical warehouse investments
This type of project illustrates why QuadAxis Pro® is the automation platform of choice for non-traditional spaces, hybrid systems, and businesses that refuse to waste a cubic foot.
