Two
refrigerated truck lines, Pyle Trucking located
in Iowa and Schuster Trucking, a successful
family-owned firm for more than 30 years,
along with other principal participants were
planning a new venture into public refrigerated
warehousing. One of the main stockholders
was familiar with Tippmann's construction
expertise in the PRW area, and called them
in to discuss the project.
Tippmann
was awarded the project, and the 75,000 square-foot
warehouse was designed and built within the
project's specifications of a four-month time
frame. The warehouse, which features 11 truck
docks, has become a showcase of modern refrigerated
warehousing efficiency.
Part
of the reason Nor-Am chose Tippmann was the
ability to tap their expertise as an owner/operator
of 9 public refrigerated warehouses. It was
especially valuable to work with a contractor
who understands critical key details such
as optimal heights for racking and floor layouts,
and who could help them be successful right
from the start.
