The industrial landscape of the Redlands is unique. Unlike the massive logistics hubs in Logan or the Port of Brisbane, the Redlands Coast – spanning from the Capalaba industrial pockets to the booming Redlands Business Park – is home to a diverse mix of specialised industries.
We see a heavy concentration of marine services, trade suppliers, and local manufacturing operations.
Standard pallet racking is often the “default” choice for many business owners, but for these specific industries, a standard solution often leads to wasted space and damaged stock. At Cannan Industries, we understand that storing a pallet of boxes is very different from storing a 6-metre timber truss or an outboard motor.
Here is how we are helping Redlands businesses optimise their storage based on their specific industry needs.
With the proximity to Moreton Bay, businesses in Cleveland, Victoria Point, and Redland Bay naturally service a large marine clientele. The challenge here is shape. Boat parts, stainless steel rails, and motors rarely fit neatly onto a standard square pallet.
The solution? Cantilever & Specialised Racking. If you are storing long, awkward items like mast sections or piping, Cantilever Racking is non-negotiable. By removing the front column, you gain unobstructed access for forklifts to load items of varying lengths.
For smaller, heavy parts like props and motors, standard shelving often bows under the weight. We recommend heavy-duty Longspan Shelving or custom-configured racking bays that can handle high point loads without compromising safety.
The construction boom in Thornlands and the Southern Redlands has increased demand for local trade suppliers. If you are a timber yard or plumbing supplier in Capalaba, you know the frustration of “dead air” space above your floor stock.
The Solution – Vertical Optimisation: We often see trade businesses creating dangerous stacks of timber on the floor. This eats up your square metreage and creates a serious OHS hazard.
Many manufacturing units in the Redlands are in “mixed-use” zones where warehouse space is at a premium. You might have a showroom in the front and production in the back. In these environments, efficiency is everything.
The Solution – Custom Design & Workflow Planning: You don’t need a massive warehouse to have an efficient one. We specialise in custom-designed storage solutions that work around your machinery and production lines.
It is also worth noting that Redlands warehouses are often exposed to higher humidity and salt air than their inland counterparts. Corrosion on baseplates and beam connectors can happen faster here.
As part of our service, Cannan Industries offers Racking Audits (compliant with AS 4084:2023) to identify these environmental structural risks before they become a liability.
We are not just a supplier; we are your local partner servicing the Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers regions. We understand the local industrial zones and the specific challenges you face.
Whether you are fitting out a new shed in the Redlands Business Park or reorganising a cramped workshop in Capalaba, we offer:
