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.

Pallet Racks & Warehouse Racking in Elgin, IL
Elgin manufacturers usually run out of storage before they run out of production capacity. Raw material comes in by the truckload, work-in-process needs somewhere to sit, and finished goods pile up near the dock waiting on a carrier. Along the Randall Road corridor and the older industrial pockets near the Fox River, we see plants using expensive production floor as storage. Pallet racking pulls that inventory off the floor and up into space you already lease. Send us dimensions and pallet counts and we will show you what your building can hold.
Free warehouse needs analysis. Free CAD layout. Delivery and installation by our own crews across Elgin and the surrounding Chicagoland market.
Why Elgin Warehouses Work With Us
Manufacturing storage has three distinct problems, and each needs a different answer. Raw material is often long, heavy, or oddly shaped. Work-in-process needs to be reachable at all times. Finished goods stack deep and ship in waves.
We plan those zones separately. Cantilever rack takes bar stock, tube, and sheet goods. Selective racking covers the work-in-process area where anything might be needed next. Push back or drive-in absorbs finished goods so staging stops spilling into the aisles.
Serving Elgin from Westmont keeps the logistics simple. Standard components come from our stock, our own crews perform installation, and we can phase work around your production schedule instead of asking you to shut a line down.

What Our Pallet Rack Service Includes
The free warehouse needs analysis is where every project starts. We collect building footprint, clear height, obstruction elevations, pallet and material dimensions, weights, and forklift type, then produce a CAD layout with bay sizes, aisle widths, beam levels, and pallet position totals alongside an itemized quote.
Specification follows the material. Cantilever arms are sized to the heaviest bundle rather than an average load. Selective bays are set so the tallest work-in-process fits without wasting a level. High-density lanes are only proposed where pallet counts per SKU justify them. Wire decking, pallet supports, and rack protection are quoted with the system rather than added later.
Standard frames and beams typically ship within 48 hours. Installation in Elgin generally runs one to four weeks depending on scope, and our crews can work in phases, evenings, or weekends so production continues. We anchor, level, and square every frame, install decking and guards, and review the finished layout with your team. Later, when a product line changes, we adjust beam levels or add rows rather than starting over.
Pallet Rack Systems We Install in Elgin
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.
Selective Pallet Rack
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.
Push Back Pallet Rack
Push back pallet rack systems utilize nested carts on inclined rails, allowing pallets to be stored 2-6 deep from a single aisle. This industrial pallet racking solution maximizes warehouse space while maintaining selectivity.
Not sure which one fits? See recent pallet rack installations or request a free warehouse consultation. If you also operate near Schaumburg or Carol Stream, we can plan both buildings on one layout.

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.
