Expert Warehouse Rack Installation & Design Services

Warehouse rack installation and design typically includes a review of storage needs, AutoCAD layout planning, equipment recommendations, engineering support when required, delivery coordination, mechanical installation, and a final walk-through. Storage Products Company can also support related systems such as shelving, mezzanines, conveyors, dock equipment, and VRC material lifts, creating a more complete material handling solution.

AutoCAD layout drawings help your team visualize how pallet rack, shelving, mezzanines, aisles, lift trucks, building columns, doors, and other equipment will fit before anything is purchased or installed. This reduces layout mistakes, improves cube utilization, supports stakeholder approvals, and provides a practical planning document for installation sequencing, permitting conversations, and future facility changes.

Storage Products Company installs pallet rack and storage systems with attention to RMI / ANSI MH16.1 specifications, the recognized U.S. standard for industrial steel storage rack. Proper installation addresses anchoring, beam connections, load capacity considerations, plumbness, and manufacturer requirements. Following recognized standards helps reduce collapse risk, protect warranties, and support warehouse safety programs.

Project timelines depend on the size of the system, equipment availability, engineering or permit requirements, and whether installation must be phased around active operations. A simple rack installation may move quickly once materials arrive, while larger build-outs involving mezzanines, conveyors, or multiple trades require more scheduling. Storage Products Company coordinates sequencing to reduce downtime and disruption.

Yes. Existing rack can often be relocated when the components are still serviceable and appropriate for the new layout. The process should include systematic teardown, labeling, component inventory, condition assessment, transport coordination, and reinstallation. Damaged uprights, beams, anchors, or connectors should not be reused without review, because compromised rack components can create serious safety risks.

PE-stamped drawings are commonly needed for mezzanines, multi-level systems, pick modules, seismic-zone projects, and jurisdictions that require engineered permit documentation. They may also be required when structural calculations, building permit submissions, or code reviews are involved. Storage Products Company can provide engineering support through manufacturer partners for projects requiring permit-ready drawings and calculations.

Many rack installation and relocation projects can be phased so a warehouse continues operating during the work. Storage Products Company can coordinate delivery sequencing, installation zones, crew scheduling, and after-hours or weekend work when appropriate. The goal is to balance safety, speed, and productivity while minimizing interference with shipping, receiving, production, or order fulfillment activities.

Post-installation support can include pallet rack inspections, material handling equipment inspections, preventative maintenance, rack repair, component replacement, and relocation services. Regular inspections help identify forklift-impact damage, loose anchors, missing safety clips, overloaded bays, or out-of-plumb frames before they become larger problems. This supports safety, insurance expectations, and long-term equipment performance.
