Cantilever Rack
Cantilever rack systems feature arms extending from vertical columns, providing unobstructed storage for long, bulky, or awkwardly shaped materials like lumber, pipe, and furniture.
Aurora warehouses tend to grow in bursts. A contract lands, volume doubles, and suddenly the floor that worked last spring is holding pallets two high in front of the dock doors. Along the Butterfield Road and Route 59 corridors we see the same pattern constantly: good buildings with real clear height being used at half their storage potential. Industrial pallet racks fix that without moving your operation. Send us your pallet counts and building dimensions and we will show you what the space can actually hold, at no cost and with no obligation to buy.
Free warehouse needs analysis. Free CAD layout. Delivery and installation by our own crews across Aurora and the surrounding Chicagoland market.
The Fox Valley has a distinct mix of warehousing. Manufacturers near the Aurora Industrial Park store raw stock and long material, while distributors closer to I-88 push cases out the door every day. Those two operations need very different racking, and the difference shows up in the numbers.
We plan around what you actually store. Long or awkward material goes on cantilever instead of being forced onto pallets. Fast-moving cases go into carton flow so pickers stop walking. Bulk inventory goes deep into push back so the aisles you were losing become storage.
Because we serve the whole Chicagoland market from Westmont, Aurora sits inside our normal delivery range. Components arrive quickly, our own installers do the work, and you deal with the same people from the first layout through the final anchor.
Your free warehouse needs analysis starts remotely. We collect clear height, footprint, pallet dimensions and weights, forklift model, and target pallet positions, then send back a CAD layout with aisle widths, bay configuration, beam levels, and a total position count. You see the storage math and the price before spending anything.
System selection follows the inventory profile. High SKU counts with daily picking point toward selective pallet racking. Deep lots of the same product point toward drive-in or push back. Date-sensitive stock points toward pallet flow, which enforces FIFO rotation with gravity lanes. Most Aurora buildings end up with a combination, and we lay out the mix rather than selling one system.
Delivery on standard components is typically 48 hours. Installation on a full Aurora warehouse racking project generally runs one to four weeks. Our crews also handle relocations when you move buildings, teardowns when a lease ends, and phased installs when you cannot shut the floor down. Wire decking, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guards are quoted with the system so nothing shows up missing on install day.
These are the systems that come up most often in local buildings. We carry the full range, and the layout tells us which combination earns its place on your floor.

Cantilever rack systems feature arms extending from vertical columns, providing unobstructed storage for long, bulky, or awkwardly shaped materials like lumber, pipe, and furniture.

Pallet flow rack systems use gravity-fed rollers to move pallets from the loading end to the picking end, ensuring perfect FIFO inventory rotation. This industrial warehouse racking is ideal for date-sensitive products.

Selective pallet racking is the most widely used warehouse racking system, providing direct and individual access to each pallet position. This pallet rack system is ideal for warehouses requiring immediate access to all SKUs without moving other pallets.
Not sure which one fits? See recent pallet rack installations or request a free warehouse consultation. If you also operate near Naperville or Elgin, we can plan both buildings on one layout.
Send the basics and we will come back with a layout, a pallet position count, and a full price. Prefer to talk it through? Call (312) 815-2445.
Many operations run more than one building. We deliver and install pallet rack systems across the same corridors, so a second site can be planned on the same visit to the drawing board.
