Off-the-shelf racking limits how much product you can hold. We design custom setups that squeeze every drop of storage density out of your building. Grow your operations right here in Aurora, OR without having to move out.
- ✓Rapidly expanding manufacturing floors
- ✓High-density staging areas
Do not guess the structural math on your custom racking layout. Clear it with the Aurora Marion County Building Insp. located at 5155 Silverton Rd NE, Salem, OR 97305 (or call (503) 588-5147). They demand proof that your unique storage grid meets local fire and safety codes, especially when operating close to Aurora Colony Historical Museum | Preserving the site of a 19th-century communal colony. 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.
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 Aurora operation requires customized metallurgical specifications and geometric configurations to accommodate idiosyncratic load dimensions while strictly adhering to seismic base shear calculations.
- ✓Execute Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for bespoke structural geometries.
- ✓Calculate base shear thresholds for customized upright footprints.
- ✓Verify yield strength tolerances for non-standard metallurgical composites.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A
Question
"How do custom asymmetrical frame profiles handle dynamic torsional forces during material handling sequences in Aurora, OR?"
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.
