In Steele Creek and around the airport freight corridor, that makes a simple pallet retrieval depend on moving another load first. Direct-access storage should be planned around the pallet list and actual forklift, not merely how many bays fit between the walls. Selective pallet rack gives direct aisle access to each stored pallet. It is the same system most people mean when they ask for pallet racks, and it suits varied inventory better than assigning every SKU to a deep lane. We check pallet weights, forklift reach, clear height, and access before setting beam elevations. A free CAD layout shows counted positions and working aisles, with an itemized quote before you commit. (704) 480-3833 ## Why Charlotte Warehouses Work With Us We plan Charlotte projects around the actual building and inventory, not a broad claim about every warehouse in the metro. A Westinghouse Boulevard receiving area and a Northlake order-picking operation can need different lane depths, replenishment routes, and work windows. The first drawing makes those differences visible. We begin with the loads and the building, then work out whether more levels, another row, or a different storage zone makes sense. Beam spans and frame capacities follow your heaviest planned loads and the approved configuration. Aisle width follows the lift truck, not a wish to squeeze one more bay into the drawing. Decking, supports, and protection are identified in the quote. If repeated stock justifies deeper storage, we compare that option beside selective instead of claiming one system fits every SKU. Your team gets a practical layout, documented assumptions, and one project scope that covers the steel and the installation requirements. ## How Pallet Rack Works 1 ### Frames and beams Roll-formed or structural upright frames carry pairs of load beams across the aisle. Beam length, frame depth, and steel gauge follow your heaviest pallet, not a catalog default. 2 ### One position, one pallet Each pallet sits on a beam level facing the aisle. Nothing gets moved to reach anything else, which is the entire point of paying for two aisles instead of one. 3 ### Beam elevations to the ceiling Levels are planned around clear height and overhead obstructions so the design uses height you are already renting instead of leaving it empty. 4 ### Decking, guarding, protection Wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding get specified in the same layout instead of tacked on later as an afterthought.

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. Component availability and delivery dates are confirmed in the quote, with staging planned around your dock. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage ensure frames are anchored to the floor and plumb, fit decking, and post load plaques 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 you are adding new rack rows. Before work is released, the final scope confirms the approved layout, capacities, accessories, installation responsibilities, and access requirements. Our team handles the permit side for you. Changes in load, pallet construction, or handling equipment should be raised before ordering so the drawing and quote describe the system your team will actually use. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
