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.

Passing Strict Seismic Code Inspections

We never cross our fingers and hope a custom design passes code. We employ licensed engineers to stamp every custom structural drawing, guaranteeing your new racks meet all local seismic and building safety requirements.

Engineered Schematics for Custom Pallet Racking

The fabrication of custom pallet racking demands a rigorous finite element analysis (FEA) to ascertain precise stress nodes and yield strengths under atypical spatial constraints. Engineering a bespoke racking matrix in a Las Cruces operation requires customized metallurgical specifications and geometric configurations to accommodate idiosyncratic load dimensions while strictly adhering to seismic base shear calculations.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"What metallurgical modifications are required when engineering custom racking for highly caustic storage environments in Las Cruces, NM?"

Holden Conner Senior Estimator & Material Quote Specialist

Standard powder-coated carbon steel degrades rapidly in caustic atmospheres. Custom architectures require hot-dipped galvanized structural profiles, utilizing ASTM A123 compliance, paired with marine-grade stainless steel wedge anchors to prevent catastrophic galvanic corrosion at the baseplates.

Custom Racking Solutions FAQ

Q: Why do I need custom racks instead of standard teardrop in Las Cruces?

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 Las Cruces?

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.
