BHD Storage Solutions has opened its first Queensland distribution centre, BHD QLD, to enhance operational efficiency and customer service in a region ripe for growth.

In the world of industrial warehousing, BHD Storage Solutions has emerged as a key player since its inception in the early 2000s. With a mission to revolutionise warehouse fit outs, BHD began its journey by offering modular pallet racking systems.

Over the years, it has expanded its portfolio to include cantilever racking, shelving, and customised storage solutions.

“As the market evolved, BHD adapted by integrating advanced technologies and automation into its fit outs designs, optimising space and enhancing operational efficiency,” says Jason Lovett, Sales Manager, BHD QLD.

“By the 2010s, BHD Storage Solutions was known for its commitment to quality and customer service. We embrace sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient practices in our warehouse designs.”

BHD offers expert support from initial consultation to installation, tailoring each project to clients’ needs. Committed to innovation, the company helps businesses enhance storage capabilities and streamline operations, solidifying its reputation as a trusted partner in industrial warehouse fit outs.

Strategic expansion in Queensland

In September 2024, BHD took a step forward with opening its new facility in Slacks Creek, Queensland, just 20 minutes south of Brisbane.

“This strategic move is not just about expanding physical space; it’s about enhancing operational efficiency and customer service in a region ripe for growth,” says Jason.

The facility is designed to reduce transport lead times, enabling faster delivery and better access to storage solutions. It aims to streamline logistics, enabling BHD QLD to respond more rapidly to customer needs while minimising costs associated with transportation. By establishing a local presence, the company can provide faster turnaround times for both storage services and support, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.

Additionally, this expansion aligns with BHD’s commitment to sustainability. The new facility incorporates energy-efficient technologies, reducing the environmental impact of its operations.

“As BHD continues to grow, our investment in Queensland underscores our commitment to meeting the evolving demands of businesses while supporting local economic development,” says Jason.

“With the opening of our Slacks Creek facility, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative, cost-effective, and timely storage solutions, reinforcing our status as a key player in the industry.”

Diverse storage options

Among BHD’s most popular options are pallet racking and cantilever racking, each tailored for specific applications.

Pallet racking is suitable for warehouses and distribution centres, providing an efficient way to store pallets of goods. Its adjustable shelves allow for flexibility, accommodating various product sizes and weights. This system maximises vertical space, enhancing inventory management and accessibility.

Cantilever racking is ideal for storing long or bulky items such as pipes, timber, and plasterboard. Its open design allows for easy loading and unloading while eliminating the need for vertical supports at the front of the rack. Cantilever racks can be configured in single or double-sided setups, optimising space in both small and large facilities.

“Our diverse storage solutions ensure that businesses can effectively manage their inventory while improving operational efficiency,” says Jason.

Local operations benefits

The strategic location of BHD QLD allows the company to reduce freight and shipping costs. By eliminating the need for interstate transport, businesses are seeing savings in freight costs, which are currently a significant line item in their budgets.

Additionally, the local presence allows for better inventory management, reducing the need for excess stock that often accumulates due to long lead times. This streamlined approach minimises holding costs and optimises warehouse space.

Businesses also benefit from reduced handling and transfer costs associated with interstate logistics, further contributing to overall savings. By consolidating operations in Queensland, BHD QLD enables its clients to operate more efficiently, allowing them to allocate resources to other critical areas of their business.

Comprehensive project support

BHD QLD offers end-to-end project support, ensuring a smooth transition from initial design to final installation. The process begins with consultations to assess client needs, storage requirements, and operational goals. This critical first step sets the foundation for tailored design solutions, where detailed layout plans are created, and appropriate storage systems are selected, all while ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Following the design phase, the team helps clients choose high-quality materials and equipment that align with their budget and operational needs. This is followed by the dedicated project managers, who then take charge of overseeing timelines and coordinating with stakeholders to align every aspect with the client’s expectations.

The installation team then executes the plan with precision, adhering to industry best practices. After installation, BHD QLD continues to support clients with training, maintenance services, and necessary adjustments, ensuring optimal performance of the storage solutions tailored to their specific needs.

“Our clients consistently highlight the positive impact of BHD QLD’s local presence, reporting reductions in freight costs and delivery times that enhance their operational efficiency,” explains Jason.

“Clients also appreciate the ease of communication with our local team, which enables faster response times and personalised support for smoother project management. Furthermore, our tailored solutions, informed by local market knowledge, help businesses enhance efficiency and productivity.”

Commitment to continuous improvement

At BHD QLD, a commitment to continuous improvement drives its operations. Understanding the evolving business landscape and client needs, it actively seeks feedback and maintains open communication to ensure its solutions remain effective.

“With a focus on advanced analytics, sustainable practices, and refined design strategies, BHD QLD tries to stay ahead of industry developments,” says Jason.

“We also invest in ongoing training and development, equipping our staff with the skills needed to meet new challenges.”

As the company embraces the future, it remains committed to driving success for its clients, solidifying its position as a key player in industrial warehouse fit outs.
