Timber Frame Off Site Track Storage

Soukup
A vertical track storage system for wall panels, giving offsite manufacturers a sequenced, accessible buffer between the production line and the loading bay. Panels stay upright, finishing work continues in the storage position, and dispatch queues stop interrupting manufacturing.

Typically chosen by

  • Offsite timber frame manufacturers who are losing time searching for, repositioning, or queuing panels before dispatch
  • Workshops scaling up panel output and finding that ad-hoc storage is becoming a bottleneck between production and delivery
  • Production managers who need a week's worth of panel capacity held safely upright and ready to access without disrupting the manufacturing flow

Key specification considerations

Panel Orientation
Vertical
Holding panels upright means window installation and façade work can be carried out in the storage position, avoiding the time cost of re-handling panels before finishing.
Carriage Operation
Manual
Recommended Capacity
Approx. one week's panel output
Sizing the storage to hold roughly one week of production output is the standard reference point for avoiding dispatch queues from interrupting the manufacturing line.
Layout
Configured to building footprint
Track layout is designed around your specific floor plan and dispatch sequence — IWM can advise on arrangement to match your available bay and panel throughput.

Recommended Storage Capacity
Approximately one week's panel output
This is a design guideline, not a fixed unit capacity — the actual number of panels depends on panel dimensions and track layout.
Track Layout Configuration
Bespoke to facility
Configuration is determined by building dimensions, dispatch sequence, and production flow — no standard layout applies; IWM will advise at specification stage.
Dimensions
Project-specific
The track system is sized to fit the available bay — confirm building dimensions and floor loading capacity with IWM before finalising the layout.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Timber Frame Off Site Track Storage if...

  • Your finishing operations — window fitting, façade prep, service installation — are happening at the panel rather than at a separate station, and you need panels to stay upright and accessible throughout
  • Panels are currently stacked flat or stored without sequence, and re-handling them before dispatch is eating into production time
  • You are running a volume of output that requires a buffer between the manufacturing line and the loading bay to avoid one stage holding up the other
  • You are designing or expanding an offsite manufacturing facility and want the storage layout planned as part of the production flow from the outset

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You need to move panels between floors or across significant distances within the facility — the Timber Frame Off Site Panels Vertical Transporter may be the more appropriate solution or a complementary addition
  • Your immediate requirement is panel assembly rather than storage — the Soukup Framer Modular Assembly Table addresses the upstream stage of panel production
  • You are at an earlier stage of evaluating a complete timber frame line and have not yet confirmed cutting or framing equipment — the Soukup Framer Profi Wood House Technology or the Soukup Crossline saws may need to be considered first as part of a broader specification
  • Your output volume is lower and a formal track storage system may be disproportionate to your current throughput — talk to us and we can help assess whether this is the right investment at your current scale
