Magnum Trailer & Equipment, a manufacturer and service provider for the heavy-duty truck and trailer industry, recently added 7,300 square feet to its warehouse in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
The facility expansion, which increased the warehouse footprint by 20% while doubling inventory storage capacity, enabled the launch of a new Quick Ship Program that is expected to increase inventory levels and reduce lead times on shipping, the company said.
“We have changed our manufacturing model to enable larger stocking of high moving products that will reduce delivery lead time for customers and make life easier for our dealers and distributors,” said David McLucas, vice president of truck accessories for Magnum.
The new program will allow dealers to minimize carrying large amounts of these products and practice “just-in-time” inventory management, Magnum maintained.
The Quick Ship Program is designed for next-day shipping and reduced lead times on a wide selection of Magnum’s most popular Moose and Tube Bumpers, Chain Hangers and Cab Guards.
