Standard racks do not fix every headache. Custom pallet racking is built specifically for your exact floor plan and weirdly shaped products. We build a system that maximizes every inch of your Sandy Springs, GA building so you stop paying for dead air.

  • ✓
    Buildings with odd structural layouts
  • ✓
    Companies storing non-standard pallet sizes

Do not guess the structural math on your custom racking layout. Clear it with the Sandy Springs Building Department located at 1 Galambos Way, Sandy Springs, GA 30328 (or call (770) 730-5600). They demand proof that your unique storage grid meets local fire and safety codes, especially when operating close to The actual spring for which the city is named. Confirm your specific seismic zone classification before anchoring those weirdly shaped uprights.

Custom Pallet Racking & High-Density Systems

When standard selective racking isn't enough to maximize your throughput, WDRacks custom-engineers, designs, and installs specialized high-density systems tailored to your unique inventory profiles:

  • ✓
    Double-Deep Pallet Racking: Increase storage capacity by up to 40% over standard layouts by placing selective racking two pallets deep. This setup reduces aisle space while maintaining high density, accessed seamlessly via deep-reach forklifts.
  • ✓
    Drive-in & Drive-Through Systems: Engineered for high-volume, low-SKU inventories, allowing forklifts to drive directly into the steel bays to stack pallets multiple levels deep in a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) or First-In, First-Out (FIFO) flow.
  • ✓
    Carton Flow & Pallet Flow (Gravity Flow): Utilizing sloped steel lanes equipped with heavy-duty rollers, gravity-driven flow systems automatically slide inventory forward to the picking aisle. They provide flawless FIFO product rotation, making them perfect for fast-moving consumer goods, food distribution, and cold-storage operations.
  • ✓
    Cantilever Racks & Mezzanines: Specialized structural steel columns designed to hold long, heavy, or non-standard materials like lumber, tubing, and sheet metal, alongside custom mezzanine platforms designed to safely double your usable warehouse square footage.

Managing Custom Engineering and Fabrication Schedules

We leverage a vast network of top-tier fabricators to secure the absolute best lead times for your custom racking. While massive roll-outs can take 12 to 18 months, we actively manage the manufacturing schedule to prevent project delays.

FEA Profiling in Custom Pallet Racking

Developing custom pallet racking systems requires granular structural profiling to counteract highly concentrated point-load distributions. Integrating these custom-engineered matrices into a Sandy Springs warehouse ensures that complex bay geometries align perfectly with specialized material handling equipment (MHE) trajectories and localized load-bearing constraints.

  • ✓
    Profile concentrated point-load distribution vectors.
  • ✓
    Synchronize custom bay geometries with specialized MHE trajectories.
  • ✓
    Calibrate localized load-bearing constraints against custom footprint calculations.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"How do custom asymmetrical frame profiles handle dynamic torsional forces during material handling sequences in Sandy Springs, GA?"

Holden Conner Senior Estimator & Material Quote Specialist

Asymmetrical frames inherently lack balanced structural symmetry, necessitating heavy-duty horizontal and diagonal strut lacing. This specialized triangulation neutralizes the lateral sway and dynamic torsional forces introduced when equipment engages the eccentric bays.

Custom Racking Solutions FAQ

Q: Why do I need custom racks instead of standard teardrop in Sandy Springs?

Because standard racks do not fit around weird support columns, low ceiling pipes, or oddly shaped buildings. Custom racks squeeze storage into your dead space.

Q: Can you build racks for oversized freight?

Yes. If you are storing massive engine blocks or weirdly sized crates, we engineer custom depths and beam capacities to hold it safely.

Q: Does a custom layout cost a lot more in Sandy Springs?

Not compared to the cost of renting a bigger building. A custom setup maximizes the square footage you already pay for and keeps you from moving.
