Question 1

How do I decide between selective, push back, drive-in, and pallet flow racking?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to SKU count, pallet depth per SKU, and how fast product turns. High SKU variety with frequent picks stays selective; a handful of SKUs with deep quantities gain far more storage density in push back, drive-in, or pallet flow. Send us your SKU profile and pallet counts and our design team will model two or three options side by side so you can compare pallet positions before you commit.

Question 2

What does your free warehouse design consultation actually include?

Accepted Answer

You get a CAD layout of your space with beam elevations, aisle widths, rack configurations, and a total pallet position count — at no cost and with no obligation. We work from your pallet dimensions, load weights, clear height, and forklift type, so the drawing reflects how your operation really runs. Most warehouse managers use it to justify the project internally before budget is approved.

Question 3

How much additional storage capacity can we realistically gain?

Accepted Answer

Most Detroit-area warehouses we redesign pick up 20–40% more pallet positions in the same footprint. The gains usually come from using clear height that is sitting empty, tightening aisle widths to match the lift equipment already on the floor, and moving slow-moving SKUs into denser storage. We will show you the before and after pallet counts so the number is not a guess.

Question 4

Do your own crews handle the installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our installation crews work throughout the Greater Detroit area, anchoring and leveling every frame, verifying beam elevations against the approved drawing, and capacity-tagging each row before they leave the building.

Question 5

Can installation be phased so we keep receiving and shipping?

Accepted Answer

Almost always. Most projects are installed row by row or aisle by aisle, and crews can work off-shift or on weekends. We sequence the work with your operations lead so the aisles you need for the day's outbound stay clear.

Question 6

What happens if our layout needs to change mid-project?

Accepted Answer

Layout changes come up — a new product line lands or a lift gets swapped. We will revise the drawing, tell you what it means for pallet positions and material, and adjust the install schedule rather than forcing the original plan through.
