ISSUE
Stryker Medical was looking to reduce warehouse and shipping cost on a particular style of hospital bed. The beds were stored horizontally in the warehouse prior to shipping. A wooden footer and header was attached to the bed and it was raised vertically by crane and rested on the attached footer. The beds were then moved by crane into the trailer and secured for shipment. This shipping method caused a number of problems including damage to the beds, wasted warehouse space and partial truckload shipments. There had to be a better, more economical way to store and ship these beds, and Pinto Products Inc. created it!
