This cart features five lightweight corrugated plastic shelves supported by Creform pipes and includes custom foam cutouts to provide product stability and protection while the cart is in motion. The number of levels enhances organization of tools, components, and materials neatly at the point-of-use area. The adjustable shelves can also be set to ergonomic heights for associates and helps reduce the likelihood of errors or defects in the assembly process by keeping parts clean, organized, and ready for use.
The cart’s dimensions are 58" L x 40" W x 63" T and is designed to hold up to 800 lb. The unit is constructed with Creform 28mm white gray color pipe and black metal joints. Creform shelf carts allow users to create tailored solutions that fit their specific needs, whether it's size, number of shelves, or additional features.
The cart features four swivel casters and two fixed ergonomic casters that provide for easy rolling, positioning and maneuverability. The swivel casters at the corners ensure stability and allow the cart to be pushed down aisles but also easily moved laterally.
The lightweight and portable, yet robust Creform cart can be moved from the kitting area to the point of assembly. Other alternative uses besides kitting are assembly line support and order picking. The cart’s versatility is suitable for manufacturing or warehouse environments and is excellent for small component storage.
As with all Creform carts, higher capacity and custom cart sizes and configurations are possible with the Creform system of 28 mm and 42 mm plastic coated steel pipes and metal joints. They can be configured for ESD (anti-static) applications. The modular nature of Creform carts provides added value and ensures that if there is any damage or worn components replacement parts are readily available.
Although the cart pictured is white gray, a wide variety of pipe color options are available, and upgrade hitches are available for AGV delivery. Accessories include hooks, labels as well as writing surfaces with clip boards to name a few. Creform carts are available as a kit, assembled structure or in component form for a complete DIY solution.

Located in one of Mexico’s most prominent industrial zones, the rooftop solar project is a strategic step toward reducing GEODIS’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increasing low-carbon energy and low-carbon energy use, and enhancing energy resilience at the site level. This initiative supports GEODIS' ambitious climate goals, which were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), that include a 42% reduction in GHG emissions from GEODIS’ fleets and buildings (Scope 1+2) and 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport regarding container shipping, road and rail operations (Scope 3) compared to . A solar installation directly supports GEODIS’ targets by reducing Scope 2 emissions (emissions from purchased electricity), assisting with sustainable building certifications and decreasing operational GHG emissions in a scalable way. The project also supports Prologis’ goal to deploy 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by .
“Low-carbon, reliable energy is a critical resource for our customers,” said John Hoekstra, Head of Enterprise Sustainability and Europe and LATAM Energy, Prologis. “As a leader in low-carbon energy generation, we’re proud to collaborate with GEODIS to support sustainable logistics operations in Mexico and beyond.”
Strategic Fit and Long-Term Vision
This project is the latest example of GEODIS and Prologis’ ongoing collaboration. The two companies have worked together on several sustainability initiatives in North America, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy integration and workforce development, to reinforce their commitments to environmental stewardship and community engagement. So far in , GEODIS and Prologis have completed three warehouse solar installations, with five additional planned for the remainder of the year. GEODIS’ work with Prologis supports its broader sustainability strategy, which includes transitioning to sustainably certified warehouses (e.g., BREEAM and LEED), upgrading energy efficiency across its network and delivering lower-carbon lanes for sustainability-focused customers.
In a market where electricity costs and reliability are concerns, the installation will help stabilize energy costs and mitigate exposure to utility rate hikes. The system is designed with future scalability in mind, offering potential for battery storage and microgrid integration.

“I have clients with thousands of containers pre-loaded in China that is ready to come in,” said Paul Brashier, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at ITS Logistics. Over the next four to six weeks, Brashier says he expects a surge of containers, calling the 90-day pause “the pivotal moment for supply chain planning out of China.”
Brashier continued, “Shippers should be prepared to increase trucking and equipment capacity immediately to ensure they can withstand volatility and get their goods to market on time.”
Adding to emerging market challenges, industry experts are reporting a surge in cargo theft. Criminal networks in the U.S. and internationally are exploiting weaknesses in current supply chain systems, as well as technology intended to improve overall efficiency, to steal freight. CNBC recently reported industry-wide losses estimated to be close to $1 billion or more a year. A leader in fraud prevention solutions, Highway, cited in its quarterly Freight Fraud Index that the company blocked more than 914,000 fraud attempts in , and over 400,000 were blocked in Q1 of alone. Additionally, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) data showed a 40% year-over-year increase in container theft incidents in . In the months preceding the April tariff announcement, shippers turned to IPI to move front-loaded goods away from congested ports — only to create new chokepoints at inland rail ramps, where cargo theft is now surging. This is occurring as industry stakeholders demand federal intervention as the current freight fraud crisis escalates, leaving vulnerable supply chains at risk.
“Using IPI offers more storage elasticity and allows shippers to avoid 3PL storage fees on front-loaded inventories,” Brashier explained. “However, chassis availability and congested ramp operations are becoming more frequent, and theft at interchanges between rail providers is a serious ongoing concern.”
Amid industry professionals seeking ways to best navigate the current supply chain disruptions, ITS advises companies to prepare for an early kick-off to peak season that lasts through Q3. Additionally, as the supply chain industry enters Q4, tax policy, deregulation, and federal reserve policy could spur economic growth that drives higher year-over-year (YOY) volumes.

It’s incredible to think that the history of the shredder stretches all the way back to the early 20th century. In , a German engineer named Adolf Ehinger patented the first paper shredder, but not just for any typical use. During World War II, Ehinger created this machine to shred anti-Nazi propaganda materials, avoiding detection by the Gestapo. Fast forward nearly a century, and industrial shredders have evolved into powerful tools used to protect personal, financial, and health information from identity thieves, along with many other valuable purposes.
Industrial shredders offer multiple benefits that go beyond just cutting down paper. They play a crucial role in various industries by helping businesses and organizations handle waste, improve security, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Here’s how:
Beyond the immediate operational benefits, industrial shredders contribute significantly to environmental sustainability. Here’s how shredders play a key role in protecting the planet:
