It's a well-known fact that today's marketplace is becoming more advanced and internationally focused. Technology has expanded the boundaries of feasibility, while at the same time highlighting the economic and environmental costs involved. It's no wonder then, that customer's expectations are higher than ever before. Schaefer prides itself on meeting these expectations, not only with quality products and services, but by listening to our customers and ensuring that the system they choose is best suited to their needs. Not only for today, but for the future as well.

Whether the application is industrial, commercial, trade or institutional, Schaefer has a solution that fits the requirement: from a small shelving system to 40 meter high rack supported buildings, from live storage to mobile shelving, or from a small parts storage facility to a large raw material warehouse for heavy loads. Schaefer also combines expertise and forward thinking in award winning design and implementation in Waste Recycling and Management Solutions.



1. There is no other vendor in the world that manufactures more types and styles of materials handling products than Schaefer. 

2. The Schaefer product line is so well engineered that the separate products form a complete materials handling system when combined. No other vendor is capable of this.

3. Our superior post design is the core to our materials handling & storage system. This feature offers state-of-the art roll forming technology that no competitor, has ever tooled up to compete with. The design is far too advanced, expensive and difficult to even try to replicate.

4. Our truly boltless and clipless shelves as well as the rest of our materials handling & storage system, developed in the 1960's has continuously been improved, but the shelves and lug features have not changed. A Schaefer product purchased then, can be upgraded today. The product is exactly the same. The design and it's purposes will never become obsolete. Ever.

5. Schaefer invests in new machines every year... keeping current with all industry trends and their future needs.

6. First class customer service



1. Schaefer has the most extensive product line in the industry.

2. Schaefer's Systems Integrator approach is unique to the industry.

3. Schaefer's "Compostainer" is the proven and accepted cart for source separated curbside collection of organics.
