How do you decide between selective, push back, and drive-in racking for a facility?

It comes down to SKU count, pallet velocity, and how much selectivity you can give up. Selective racking wins when you need every pallet position accessible; push back and drive-in make sense when you hold deep lanes of the same SKU and want density. During the free warehouse design consultation we run the numbers both ways so you can see the pallet position count and the aisle trade-off side by side before deciding.

What is the fastest way to add pallet positions without leasing more space?

Usually vertical. Most Chicagoland buildings have clear height that is not being used, so adding beam levels, resizing bays to the actual pallet profile, or narrowing aisles to match your lift equipment can add significant capacity inside the same four walls. We model these options in the layout so you can see the added positions before committing to anything.

What do you need from us to produce a layout and quote?

Clear height, column spacing, building dimensions, your pallet sizes and weights, the lift trucks you run, and a target pallet position count. That is enough for us to produce a CAD layout, a pallet position count, and a full quote. Both the design consultation and the layout are free with no obligation.

How are beam capacities and frame loads determined for our product?

We size components off actual loaded pallet weight, pallets per beam level, and total frame load across all levels, then build in the correct capacity margin. If your loads vary by zone, we spec different beams by area rather than averaging everything. Capacity charts are documented with the quote so your team knows the limits per level.
