Call (312) 815-2445." lang: en --- Image: Warehouse Relocation system inside a Illinois warehouse (https://chicagopalletracks.com/assets/relocation-hero-Bd6_5-xV.jpg) Des Plaines, Illinois # Warehouse Relocation in Des Plaines, Illinois If you are facing an air-freight forwarder moving to a new building near O'Hare where shipments cannot stop for the move, the clock is already running. In Des Plaines, older industrial buildings near O'Hare with limited height, plus air-cargo space where every square foot is expensive, so the rack that worked in your old space rarely drops straight into the new one. We handle rack teardown, labeling, transport coordination, reinstallation, and any new rack the new building needs, all on one plan. Call (312) 815-2445 and tell us where you are moving in Des Plaines. (312) 815-2445 ## Why Des Plaines Warehouses Work With Us We have moved and reinstalled rack for Des Plaines businesses from the O'Hare cargo area to the Oakton Street industrial strip. Around here, older industrial buildings near O'Hare with limited height, plus air-cargo space where every square foot is expensive, so we plan the new layout in CAD before anything comes down and you know exactly what fits. Since 1997 we have designed, installed, and relocated rack for air cargo & freight forwarding, manufacturing, and 3PL operations around Des Plaines. Most warehouse moving companies move boxes; we move and rebuild the storage system itself. Our Westmont warehouse is about 30 minutes from Des Plaines by way of I-90, I-294, and Mannheim Road. Our own crews do the teardown and reinstall, and one contact runs the job from first call to final capacity tag.

Air cargo & freight forwarding Manufacturing Distribution Aviation parts ## How a Warehouse Move Works We tear down, move, and reinstall your pallet rack so the new building is ready to receive on day one. 1 ### Plan the new building We lay out the new space in CAD first, so you know which existing rack fits, what needs to change, and what new steel to add before teardown starts. 2 ### Teardown and labeling Our crews dismantle the existing system, inspect each upright and beam, and label and bundle components by row so nothing gets mixed up. 3 ### Transport coordination Bundled steel is staged and scheduled for transport around your move, so rack arrives at the new building in the order it will be installed. 4 ### Reinstall and add new We reinstall to the new layout, anchor and level every frame, add new rack where needed, and tag capacities so you can start receiving. ## What a Warehouse Relocation Project Includes A Des Plaines warehouse relocation starts with a free consultation by phone. We go through your current rack (type, manufacturer, quantity, condition) and the new building (clear height, column spacing, dock doors, aisle widths). Photos and floor plans are usually all we need to get started. Next, our design team draws the new building in CAD and shows which existing rack carries over, what needs to be replaced, and what new rack to add. You get an itemized quote for teardown, transport coordination, reinstallation, and new material, plus a schedule built backward from your move date, with rack delivery and crew access coordinated around the receiving hours at your new building. On move day, our crews dismantle the old system, inspect and label every bundle by row, and stage it for transport. At the new Des Plaines building we reinstall to the approved drawing, anchor and level every frame, add new rack where needed, and tag capacities so your team can start receiving right away.

We inspect uprights and beams during teardown and replace anything bent or damaged. The bigger question is whether your current rack fits the new building's height and column grid - a move from a 20 ft clear space to a 36 ft clear big box usually means taller frames and more beam levels. The CAD layout answers that before anything comes down." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a warehouse relocation take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It depends on the size of the system and how much new rack is involved.

We build the schedule backward from your move date and phase the work so you can keep shipping as long as possible." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you move inventory and equipment too, or just the rack?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We focus on the storage system: rack teardown, labeling, transport coordination, and reinstallation.
