How much extra storage can added height actually give me?

It depends on clear height and forklift lift capacity, but going from three beam levels to five in the same footprint is common and usually adds well over a third more pallet positions.

What rack type works best for sequenced or date-sensitive stock?

Pallet flow. Gravity lanes load from one side and pick from the other, so rotation is first-in, first-out automatically rather than depending on the operator picking the right pallet.

Can you plan racking around conveyors and automation?

Yes. Send the equipment layout with your building drawing and we will position rows so pick faces, staging lanes, and lift truck aisles do not overlap.

How long does installation take?

Most projects run one to four weeks from approved layout, depending on the number of rows and how much of it has to be phased around your operating hours.

Do you provide drawings we can keep?

You get the CAD layout, beam elevation details, and capacity information for the installed system, which is useful for insurance records and for planning the next expansion.

Sterling Heights operations rarely have a storage problem in isolation. Sequencing runs tight, containers arrive on a schedule, and the moment inventory sits on the floor the whole flow between receiving and line-side slows down.

We design pallet rack systems that match that rhythm — staging positions where product lands, dense storage for buffer stock, and pick faces where operators actually need them. You see the layout and the pallet count before ordering.

Pallet Rack Solutions for Sterling Heights Warehouses

Buildings along Mound Road and M-59 tend to be newer with solid clear height, which means the real opportunity is vertical. Plenty of Sterling Heights warehouses are storing three levels in a building that supports five.

Our layouts push beam elevations as high as your forklift and the lowest overhead obstruction allow, which often adds forty percent more pallet positions without touching the footprint.

We also plan for how automation and conveyors move through the space. Rack rows get positioned so pick faces stay reachable and staging lanes do not collapse into the same aisle a lift truck needs to turn in.

What a Pallet Rack Project Looks Like

A project starts with pallet and container dimensions, maximum weight per position, clear height, forklift specifications, and your daily throughput. We convert that into a CAD layout showing aisle widths, beam elevations, and a total pallet position count, with itemized pricing alongside it.

Rack selection follows the operation. Selective racking gives every position direct access for mixed part numbers. Push back stores two to six deep from a single aisle without giving up much selectivity. Pallet flow rotates first-in, first-out for date-sensitive or sequenced stock. Carton flow feeds line-side picking.

Once the layout is approved we order the steel and schedule installation in phases so receiving keeps running. Crews anchor, plumb, and level every frame, install decking and pallet supports, and capacity-tag each beam level.

You finish with drawings for your records, a rated system, and a local contact for added bays, replacement components, and future layout changes.
