Do you install pallet rack?

Yes. We handle design, supply and installation through experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. The finished rack is anchored to the floor, and load plaques identify the rated capacities.

What type of pallet rack do I need?

Selective teardrop rack is the default for mixed SKUs; pushback is two to six deep, LIFO by SKU; pallet flow is for FIFO or dated stock; drive-in is for bulk storage with few SKUs. Cantilever holds long loads, and carton flow serves case picking.

What determines the price of pallet racking?

Price depends on pallet positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and an itemized quote.

How much weight can pallet rack hold?

There is no single capacity: beam capacity is per pair, per level, while frame capacity depends on height and beam spacing. We size beams and frames from your heaviest pallet, and capacities go on load plaques.

Pickerington, Ohio

Pallet Flow Rack in Pickerington, OH

In Pickerington, the call about pallet flow rack almost always starts with a smaller building, usually somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 square feet, near the Diley Road corridor or closer to the US-33 and SR-256 interchange, that got racked once at move-in and never again even as the SKU count and order volume kept climbing. The floor fills up long before anyone sits down to redraw the layout, and by the time someone asks about racking the aisles are already doing double duty as overflow storage. Compact industrial and flex buildings around Pickerington, some within sight of Pickerington Ponds Park, where every aisle decision changes the total pallet count noticeably and seasonal order swings can choke the floor for weeks at a time, mean a layout copied from another building rarely fits once you start measuring.

Pallets load at the high end of a gravity lane and travel down braked rollers or wheel tracks at a controlled pace, so the oldest pallet already in the lane is always the one sitting at the pick face. For a Pickerington operation carrying dated or lot-controlled product where rotation has to be provable rather than assumed, and for high-turn SKUs where a few pick faces need to represent a large amount of stored product, that changes the math on how much of the building is actually usable storage versus floor lost to staging and workarounds. Lanes need an aisle on the load side and another on the pick side, which costs more floor space per position than pushback but earns it back in documented first-in, first-out handling. We measure the building you have along the US-33 and SR-256 corridor and size the system to the pallets, cases or long material you actually move, rather than starting from a catalog layout and hoping it fits.

Why Pickerington Warehouses Work With Us

Pickerington sits at the intersection of growth along US-33 and SR-256, and the buildings in that mix were not built on one blueprint. Some sit closer to Diley Road, others closer to Pickerington Ponds Park, and clear height, column spacing and dock placement shift from one address to the next. A pallet flow rack layout drawn for one of those buildings rarely transfers to another without new measurements.

Pickerington's industrial base includes smaller manufacturing, packaging and distribution operations, and each one puts different demands on a rack system. Dated or lot-controlled product where rotation has to be provable rather than assumed, and for high-turn skus where a few pick faces need to represent a large amount of stored product is the kind of load profile we see repeatedly in buildings around the Diley Road corridor, so the beam, frame or arm sizing we land on tends to track what is actually sitting on the dock rather than a generic spec.

A Pickerington layout needs room on both sides of the flow lanes, not just a higher pallet count. We compare those load and pick aisles with dock access before recommending how much floor to commit to gravity storage.

How Pallet Flow Rack Works

Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out.

Load end

Pallets enter at the high end of the lane. Each new pallet stages behind the one before it, so put-away is a single move made from the load-side aisle.

Gravity conveyor

Full-width rollers or skate-wheel tracks, set on a pitch calculated for the pallet weight, carry loads forward under control rather than free rolling.

Braking and separation

Brake rollers and pallet separators regulate travel and stop pallets from bunching, protecting both the product and the structure underneath it.

Pick end

Pickers work a face of first-in pallets. Pull one and the next indexes forward automatically, so the pick aisle stays organized without anyone re-facing stock.

What a Pickerington Pallet Flow Rack Project Includes

Work on a pallet flow rack project for a Pickerington building starts with the load itself: pallet or case dimensions, weight, how the material is packaged, and the lift equipment moving it through the dock. Those numbers, not a catalog default, decide beam length, frame depth, arm spacing or lane pitch.

Pallets load at the high end of a gravity lane and travel down braked rollers or wheel tracks at a controlled pace, so the oldest pallet already in the lane is always the one sitting at the pick face. For buildings around the Diley Road corridor and the US-33/SR-256 area, we draw the lane count, bay dimensions and aisle widths against the clear height and column spacing of the actual space, then return a position count alongside an itemized price broken out by component.

Where dated or lot-controlled product where rotation has to be provable rather than assumed, and for high-turn SKUs where a few pick faces need to represent a large amount of stored product, we compare the proposed system against a plain selective layout of the same footprint so the position gain and the cost per position are both visible before anything is ordered. Steel gets scheduled once the layout is approved, with delivery staged against the receiving and shipping windows the operation already runs on.

Installation crews anchor and plumb every frame, install decking, rails or carts as the system calls for, then label each bay and post the rated capacity so the floor team knows the limits at a glance. Work is phased so the rest of the building keeps operating, and the same crew that installs the system handles later changes — additional bays, elevation changes or a teardown if the operation eventually moves.
