Downloadable Brochure
After spending the majority of their lives in the storage and material handling industry, founders, William A. Kraft Sr. and Patricia H. Kraft started Kraftwerks in 1990 along with sons, William A. Kraft Jr., Mike Kraft, Paul Kraft and daughter, Ann Marie Ziske (Kraft). As a family-operated business, they had a vision of putting to use their decades of experience to create value for their customers and build long-lasting relationships.
While the company started off primarily as a distributor and sales organization for storage and materials handling equipment, it has since evolved into a one-stop source for customers across the U.S. in need of:
- High Density Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
- Laboratory Casework & Fume Hoods
- Multi-Story Catwalk & Mezzanine Systems
- Ergonomic Workstations & Lifts
- Installation & Preventative Maintenance
Besides enhanced service offerings, the company’s physical space has grown in order to accommodate customer demand. Today, Kraftwerks’ state-of-the art facility boasts in-house fabrication, cutting, welding and painting services, along with a complete installation, prevention and maintenance department.

Featured Product
Datum Mobile Aisle Storage
Mobile aisle storage uses shelving units on rails, allowing them to move and squeeze together to eliminate all but one aisle. That single aisle then ‘moves’ as units slide from one side to the other via powered (button) or mechanical (crank) means.
This method of storage is a cost effective way of optimizing space, because you have the same number of shelving units, but now only need a single aisle. The eliminated aisles are converted to usable space, which can be used to add additional mobile shelving or be repurposed for something else.
