Plant Engineering has officially opened voting for its 2026 Product of the Year awards – and we’re proud to share that Dexco’s Vertical Coil Storage and Handling Racking System has been named a nominee in the “Safety, Security & Risk Mitigation” category.
What Is the Product of the Year Program?
Each year, Plant Engineering’s Product of the Year program recognizes some of the most innovative and impactful new products serving the manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries. Winners are selected by the publication’s qualified print and online subscribers, who evaluate nominees based on:
- Technological advancement
- Service to the industry
- Market impact
The program highlights solutions that help facilities operate more safely, efficiently, and effectively, making the nomination itself a significant achievement and one we’re very proud of.
Why Dexco’s Vertical Coil Storage System Stands Out
Dexco’s Vertical Coil Storage and Handling Racking System was designed with dual goals in mind: improving safety while enhancing operational efficiency.
Constructed from structural steel and customized to meet each customer’s specific needs, the system provides secure vertical storage and easy accessibility for coils, tools, and materials. Elevated, secure cradles help prevent movement or roll-away incidents – a critical safety feature in environments where heavy coils can present serious risks.
Beyond safety, the modular configuration supports organized, easy-access storage without relying on last-in, first-out handling methods. The system is engineered for compatibility with forklifts, booms, side loaders, stacker cranes, and other automated retrieval systems, helping facilities reduce material damage while streamlining handling processes.
The result is a solution that mitigates risk, improves workflow, and protects both people and equipment, exactly the kind of innovation Plant Engineering created this award to recognize.
A Reflection of Our Commitment
At Dexco, delivering durable, intelligently designed storage systems isn’t new; it’s a foundation of who we are. Our evolution as a company has been driven by a commitment to helping manufacturers solve real-world challenges with practical, engineered solutions.
