I have been to this location a number of times. They moved from another Illinois facility, formerly known as K&K Screw Products, near the Wisconsin border.
I deliver brass rod here. The shipping and receiving docks are probably 50' deep, but with the docks themselves and my trailer configuration, whenever I deliver, they can not close the door because my 48' trailer is merely inches too long.
They are not configured well for unloading long material. A forklift, with fork mounted boom, is utilized for unloading. This setup only allows for handling one bundle of rod at a time. Often, when I have 40+ bundles to deliver, it will take hours to unload.
The employees here are always friendly and helpful.
One major detractor for delivery is that there is not a lot of room for maneuvering a big rig into position. read more
