Sunbelt. Designed to automatically load, store, and unload lumber, plywood, vinyl siding, MDF moldings, composite decking, metal roofing, and more, the Power Bin rack system eliminates the need to hand-load bins, and it keeps products organized while conserving warehouse space. The system incorporates pigeonhole bins equipped with heavy-duty rollers. A battery-operated loader deck accepts materials from a forklift or other material mover and automatically loads them into the bin in approximately one minute, the manufacturer says. All bins are hand-pickable and a catwalk provides access to the top two rows. 800.353.0892. www.sunbeltracks.com.

The Koskovich Co. The automated jigging system features dual computer-directed jigging pucks mounted on removable steel planks. The planks bolt onto the table at nearly any space interval, and one puck on each side of the plank moves back and forth along its length. On the computer monitor, the user positions the image of a truss design over the image of the jigging table and the jigging pucks automatically move into position, profiling the chords as depicted on the monitor. 888.261.0519. www.omnisaw.com.

Delta Consolidated Industries. Jobox Onsite Storage Chests incorporate EZ-Loader skid bolsters that allow forklift access from all sides. Site-Vault security features a three-point lock for up to 50% more lock strength than competitive two-point lock designs, the maker says. The lock hooks engage from the side and resist bending and prying, and the single padlock resists knocking and prying. 800.643.0084. www.deltastorage.com.
