American Eagle
When Vargo Material Handling was chose to install the conveyor system at American EagleÍs new distribution center in Ottawa, KS, they turned to Torbeck Industries to provide the support structure. Having used Torbeck in the past, and knowing their reputation for quality and on-time delivery, made them a natural choice to manufacture the 100,000 sq. ft. platform.

Through the hard work and collaboration of the engineers at Vargo and Torbeck, the project boasted one of the quickest turn around times for Torbeck- about 3 to 4 weeks from receipt of the P.O. Because of the quality and quick turnaround time exhibited in completing the platform, TorbeckÍs Saf-T-Products Group is currently consulting to install barrier protection around key conveyance and sortation equipment could cripple the operation if damaged.

When Rapistan (The Material Handling Automation Division of Siemens Dematic) needed someone who could provide quality and on time delivery of a large structural platform (5 platforms totaling 148,770 sq. ft.) for SubmitOrder.com's state-of-the-art distribution facility in Columbus, OH, they turned to Torbeck Industries.

Once the platforms were installed, Torbeck then created an Accident Intervention Systems™ (AIS) plan to protect their multi-million dollar investment from damage and downtime. Knowing that key conveyance and sortation equipment could cripple the operation if damaged, our goal was to protect valuable components using standard and customized solutions.

In addition to protecting their equipment, SubmitOrder also wanted to assure the safety of their employees. By identifying the "Dirty Dozen", the twelve areas where accidents happen most, Torbeck installed the needed protection around employee traffic areas, restrooms, stairways and egress lanes.

When the project was completed, SubmitOrder had invested less than 0.2% of the facility cost to protect their multi-million dollar distribution center.
