Most material handling problems aren’t complicated once someone listens to what you need. Progressive Handling has been designing and installing warehouse storage solutions, custom conveyor systems, and materials handling systems since 1991 — starting in Michigan and northern Indiana, and now serving clients across the U.S. For more than 30 years, manufacturers and distributors have relied on PHI for warehouse solutions that fit how their operations work. It all starts with a conversation.
Whether you’re moving into a new facility or running out of room in the one you have, we’ll figure out what fits. PHI designs and installs industrial storage systems including pallet racking, shelving, and custom configurations built around how your operation works – your product dimensions, your throughput (pallet velocity), your workflow.
Off-the-shelf conveyor systems don’t work for every product or every facility. PHI designs and installs custom conveyor systems for discrete materials handling across a wide range of industries, including overhead conveyor systems for paint lines. We start by understanding what you’re moving, how you’re moving it, and what you need it to do.
Pallet rack damage doesn’t always announce itself. PHI conducts rack inspections based on ANSI and RMI standards to identify damage, overloading, and compliance gaps before they become safety incidents. We are SEMA and CWS certified. If your facility has never had a formal inspection, or it’s been a while, give us a call.
When the goal is moving more product with fewer touchpoints, we’ll design an integrated system that fits your operation and your budget. PHI manages system integration from the engineering phase through installation, connecting the pieces into something that runs the way it’s supposed to.
Not sure what you need? That’s a fine place to start. PHI conducts engineering studies to assess your facility, understand your constraints, and evaluate how labor is being utilized. From there, we map out what a solution would look like – equipment, layout, workflow – before anything gets specified or purchased.
Conveyors and storage systems need upkeep, and when something fails, downtime is expensive. PHI supplies replacement parts including belts, O-rings, and other components, and provides maintenance services to keep your systems running. If you’re not sure whether we carry what you need, call and ask.
PHI has been solving storage and material handling problems since 1991. Roughly 85 to 90 percent of our customers come back for their next project. Some have worked with us since the beginning.
That’s not an accident. When you call, someone picks up. When you have a question mid-project, you get an answer. When you come back for the next project, you’re not reexplaining your facility to someone who’s never seen it. PHI invests in knowing your operations. And that pays off every time you need us.
We serve manufacturers, distributors, and warehouse operators across the U.S. from our home base in Michigan, across industries including automotive, food and beverage, foundries, and furniture manufacturing. When you’re looking for a material handling company that already knows your industry, that history matters.
Every project starts the same way: with a question and a conversation. Tell us what you’re working with and what you’re trying to solve. We’ll take it from there.
