Pallet Racking Solutions

Warehouse pallet racking systems increase the storage capacity and improve organization in your facility by providing reliable structures to store inventory. These systems allow you to place inventory on pallets arranged on multiple vertical levels and horizontal rows for simplified inventory control and a better utilization of space. Forklifts facilitate the loading and unloading of materials on the pallet rack shelving.

Therefore, an efficient racking system is a great option for smooth loading, unloading and storage in your warehouse. Multiple types of racking exist, each having its own pros and cons. At Arnold Machinery Company, we sell many types of pallet racking systems that are well-suited to a wide range of applications.

Types of Racking Equipment We Offer

At Arnold Machinery Company, we have a large offering of pallet racking systems for sale. Our warehouse pallet racks are sturdy and reliable, ensuring your warehouse is safer for employees and visitors. These racking systems are available in a wide range of styles and sizes to accommodate all types of warehouse layouts and weight requirements.

Here are our top options:

• Selective pallet racking: One of the most common pallet racking systems with heavy-duty shelves, sturdy vertical legs and durable horizontal support beams. Selective racking makes it easy for users to select anything off the shelves because they can access all pallets without moving or adjusting others. These systems are often used for hand picking, pallet storage and carton flow.
• Cantilever racking systems: Consisting of a solid base, straight arms and vertical support beams, this design is ideal for storing long, bulky materials like lumber and pipes. The cantilever system can accommodate non-uniform and extra-long items with greater stability than other racking systems.
• Drive-in racking: A high-density storage system in which pallets are stored on a first-in/last-out (FILO) basis. The system has one open side where items are loaded and unloaded, and forklift trucks drive directly into the bays to retrieve items.
• Drive-Thru racking: This storage system has openings on two sides, one side for loading and the other for unloading, for a first-in/first-out (FIFO) approach. Both drive-in and drive-thru systems have limited selectability compared to warehouse other pallet rack types, but they allow more to be stored in tighter spaces.
• Push-back pallet racking: A push–back racking system is another type of high-density storage where pallets sit on rails and carts. Pallets in this system are stored two to six pallets deep. When you add a new pallet, the previous pallet is pushed back for a last-in/first-out (LIFO) approach. Push-back systems are typically used for storing perishables and staging.
• Pallet flow: In a pallet flow system, pallets are loaded from the rear of the rack onto rollers, which allow gravity to bring the pallet to the front of the rack. Pallets are loaded this way until the row is full. Then, the product is unloaded from the front using a FIFO approach. Pallet flow racking allows for a smooth loading and unloading flow to reduce forklift travel, making it an excellent option for handling products with a quick turnaround.

Arnold Machinery Company offers new and used pallet racking systems and support services to help optimize warehouse layouts and performance. We also strive to provide the best customer service in the industry backed by a Silver Service^® guarantee, which means if our customer is not happy, the job is not done.

Our services cover every aspect of racking, including:

Site Survey

Before we start on the design and racking equipment installation, we send members of our highly experienced team to visit your facility for a FREE site survey and assess your business’s operations and work processes. During the survey, our team uses their professional knowledge and insights to determine your unique warehousing needs and create a plan that improves layout and performance. Our site survey assesses crucial operational areas like loading docks, racking systems, and more.

The survey focuses on cutting costs by maximizing limited storage capacity, identifying outdated equipment, uncovering inefficiencies and exposing any hidden safety risks. After this comprehensive site survey, we’ll prepare a detailed report of the findings — you’ll receive recommendations for the best racking equipment and layout to increase storage capacity and enhance productivity.

Racking Design / Warehouse Layout

Developing the ideal warehouse racking solution involves designing the best racking systems that maximize storage capacity and enhance process efficiency. We use AutoCAD, a computer-aided design (CAD) software to generate 2D and 3D drawings of your warehouse to help visualize optimal layouts and create detailed floor plans. Our warehouse design simulation also involves assessing your needs and optimizing outcomes in crucial areas like equipment choice, traffic flows and staffing.

Our AutoCAD specialists use these drawings to align with your business goals and provide detailed information about enhancing your space. Using AutoCAD drawing plan for designing warehouse racking systems has many benefits, including:

• Maximizing your storage capacity by informing storage and space-saving decisions.
• Facilitating the review of an existing layout to prepare for warehouse expansion or moving.
• Providing accurate and precise images that comply with the requirements for obtaining permits.

Warehouse Racking Installation

We have a fully trained and licensed installation team available in all our territories to handle your installation process with maximum efficiency and minimal downtime. Our team ensures we meet all safety procedures, and we have full insurance to protect them and your facility throughout the installation process. Accurate AutoCAD drawings guide our installations, and we can help you obtain all necessary permits.

If we don’t have any in-house installers in your area, we outsource professional third-party installers who ensure your racking is installed to the highest standards. Additionally, we can provide licensed forklift operators to help you enhance the safety and efficiency of your equipment operations.

Pallet Racking Parts

Pallet racks include numerous parts that contribute to their structural integrity. These Include:

• Frames: These form the vertical racking structure and provide a framework for other components, like beams and shelves.
• Pallet rack uprights: The side supports of the structure, which determine the depth and height of your pallet racking system.
• Beams: These connect the uprights to create pallet rack shelving space.
• Braces: These provide horizontal and diagonal support that connect the uprights and prevent the frames from moving or swaying.
• Wire decking: It can also be added for additional support to prevent pallets or other products from falling.
• Footplates: These are attached to the base of the uprights to enhance stability by ensuring weight distribution.

These components are configured and installed based on several different system designs, each with unique capabilities to meet the needs of various material handling applications.
