Knoxville Tennessee Habitat Project Helped By Go Mini’s

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Knoxville Habitat for Humanity is building seven houses in seven days with the help of hundreds of volunteers.  The new Silver Leaf subdivision formerly, 4044 Skyline Drive, will feature all Habitat-built homes.

Coordinating the many volunteer contractors, their tools and materials is a major undertaking for any project of this magnitude.  Habitat coordinators have found that using Go Mini’s portable moving and storage containers provides the ideal solution to staging, storing and protecting tools and materials from project start to finish.  It adds efficiency by avoiding double handling loading and unloading and provides ideal designated space for contractors to work out of and store their tools and materials.

“Knoxville Habitat will build 25 houses this year,” reported Faye Maroon, owner of the Go Mini’s dealership for Knoxville, Chattanooga and eastern Tennessee.  “We are providing two Go Mini’s containers they will keep all year that will be moved between their warehouse and jobsites monthly.  The ‘7 houses in 7 days’ event in mid April will utilize 16 on-site Go Mini’s containers.”

“We take great pride in our involvement with and contribution to the  Habitat effort,” Mrs. Maroon continued.  “It is a wonderful and worthwhile cause giving back to the community and helping families needing assistance.”

Taking Portable Storage To The Next Level

Friday, April 16th, 2010

A major HVAC mechanical contractor in the Midwest wanted to be more aggressive and branch out into other geographical areas.  However, they had no in-house expertise to quote or manage the logistics of a remote job site.  So they asked Stangate Management, Inc. (SMI) www.stangate.com , specialists in supply chain management and logistics engineering to assist them.

Stangate Management developed several custom alternatives for their client.  They guided the manufacturing and installation teams through the feasibility evaluation process of each alternative.  The best overall and lowest cost solution involved partial assembly prior to transport then final assembly on the job site.  SMI had partnered with Planes Logistics and Go Mini’s of Cincinnati to develop the whole process.  It was a very complex situation involving many steps and it had to work perfectly the first time so a trial was developed to test the equipment, manufacturing, and transport to pilot the whole process.  Once the process was refined and validated the bid was made and the client won a large construction contract ($30+ mil) for a major University hospital expansion.

After consulting with Go Mini’s, Mini Storage On The Go, SMI learned that Go Mini’s containers are highly portable and can be loaded in one location and shipped inside of 53′  over-the-road trailers or on flatbeds to move product to multiple job sites.  They can also be lifted by forklift or crane and once placed at job site, can be maneuvered where needed since they are mounted on sturdy polycoated steel casters.

Partially fabricated duct sections were loaded into 45 Go Mini’s containers, transported over 100 miles to the job site, where the Go Mini’s containers could be lifted to the second floor without having to unload and reload product.

The efficiency improvement from use of the Go Mini’s mobile containers resulted in a transportation cost reduction of 47% ($14K) and a material handling labor reduction of 30%, which saved over $200,000 for the contractor.  As an added benefit, shop through-put and flexibility was greatly increased because some of the assembly was done at the job site.

Contact Stangate Management, Inc, at 513-300-7385 or Go Mini’s at 866-466-4647.
