Fix Floor Plan Headaches with Custom Pallet Racking in Racine, WI

Working around weird support columns and low ceilings ruins your picking lanes. Custom pallet racks are engineered to fit exactly where you need them. Stop wasting expensive square footage in your Racine, WI warehouse.

• ✓
  Retrofitted older buildings
• ✓
  Multi-level storage configurations

Do not guess the structural math on your custom racking layout. Clear it with the Racine Building Dept. located at 730 Washington Avenue Racine, Wisconsin 53403 (or call (262) 636-9461). They demand proof that your unique storage grid meets local fire and safety codes, especially when operating close to Wind Point Lighthouse, Racine Art Museum. 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.

Atypical Load Architecture via Custom Pallet Racking

Overcoming irregular spatial footprints involves designing custom pallet racking with asymmetrical upright placements and variable load-beam capacities. Constructing this bespoke framework in a Racine facility optimizes the storage cube by neutralizing geometric inefficiencies and engineering specific structural tolerances for unique supply chain commodities.

• ✓
  Calculate variable load-beam capacities for asymmetrical configurations.
• ✓
  Neutralize geometric inefficiencies through XYZ spatial modeling.
• ✓
  Audit structural tolerances for bespoke commodity dimensions.
