Pallet Rack in Detroit, MI

Selective pallet rack is single-deep steel: an aisle on each side, direct access to every pallet on the row. It's the system most warehouses run because it trades storage density for something more valuable once SKU counts climb - a driver never has to move one pallet to get at another. It earns its keep when inventory is mixed, picking happens straight off the rack face, or you simply don't hold enough of any one item to justify a deeper system. The tradeoff is real: selective racking spends floor space on aisles that pushback or drive-in would give back to storage.

We size industrial pallet racks to your heaviest pallet, your lift truck's reach, and the clear height you're already leasing, then hand back a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote - so you know what you're buying before steel ships.

Detroit's warehouse market includes converted industrial buildings around Milwaukee Junction, food distribution near Eastern Market and manufacturing space along the I-75 and I-94 corridors. Those are different storage problems. A row drawn for wide-open distribution space can lose useful positions when it meets a converted plant's columns, lower ceiling or shared receiving area. We start with the building and inventory information rather than assuming one standard arrangement will fit every operation.

Detroit Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. Your free warehouse design consultation connects the rack recommendation to pallet or carton dimensions, load weights, handling equipment and the number of positions you need. The CAD layout and itemized quote make the tradeoffs visible before material is ordered. Delivery and installation are planned around the agreed work areas, with one contact for questions about the drawing, the quoted components and later changes. The aim is usable storage that supports how your operation receives, picks and ships.

The design starts with a phone consultation: pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and free lift, clear height, column spacing, aisle width, and turn rate. That's what sets beam capacity and how many levels the building will actually carry.

From there our design team draws pallet positions, beam elevations, and aisle centerlines in CAD, then prices every line so you see cost per pallet position instead of a lump sum. That number is what lets you compare selective against pushback or drive-in honestly - selective usually costs less per position to build but more per position in floor space.

Standard components move through our 48-hour quick ship program, and delivery gets staged around your dock rather than one truck dropped all at once. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage anchor and plumb every frame, hang decking, and tag capacities on the finished rows.

What you're left with is racking that matches how the building runs, load-rating documentation your team can post, and one number to call when a beam gets hit or you're adding a row next spring.

Delivery and installation are agreed against the approved drawing and the areas your team can release. We review access for unloading, the sequence of rows and the material that needs to arrive first. Confirm the load assumptions before handover and retain the layout and capacity records for future additions. If the product mix changes, review the affected levels or lanes before putting different loads into service.
