Jamming oversized goods into normal racks is a massive safety hazard. Custom pallet racking gives you the exact depth, width, and weight capacity your inventory demands. Protect your loads and your Santa Ana, CA workers with the right steel.
- ✓Heavy engine block storage
- ✓Awkward appliance distribution
Custom racking setups in Santa Ana, CA mean custom permit headaches. The City of Santa Ana Building Safety Division will not let you build near World-class art and artifacts in a historic mission-style building. without stamped engineered drawings. Call (714) 647-5800 or visit 20 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 to verify your exact capacity limits before you start bolting steel. Custom frame structures require dedicated seismic threshold calculations directly from the city.

Custom Pallet Racking & High-Density Systems
When standard selective racking isn't enough to maximize your throughput, WDRacks custom-engineers, designs, and installs specialized high-density systems tailored to your unique inventory profiles:
- ✓Double-Deep Pallet Racking: Increase storage capacity by up to 40% over standard layouts by placing selective racking two pallets deep. This setup reduces aisle space while maintaining high density, accessed seamlessly via deep-reach forklifts.
- ✓Drive-in & Drive-Through Systems: Engineered for high-volume, low-SKU inventories, allowing forklifts to drive directly into the steel bays to stack pallets multiple levels deep in a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) or First-In, First-Out (FIFO) flow.
- ✓Carton Flow & Pallet Flow (Gravity Flow): Utilizing sloped steel lanes equipped with heavy-duty rollers, gravity-driven flow systems automatically slide inventory forward to the picking aisle. They provide flawless FIFO product rotation, making them perfect for fast-moving consumer goods, food distribution, and cold-storage operations.
- ✓Cantilever Racks & Mezzanines: Specialized structural steel columns designed to hold long, heavy, or non-standard materials like lumber, tubing, and sheet metal, alongside custom mezzanine platforms designed to safely double your usable warehouse square footage.
Passing Strict Seismic Code Inspections
We never cross our fingers and hope a custom design passes code. We employ licensed engineers to stamp every custom structural drawing, guaranteeing your new racks meet all local seismic and building safety requirements.
Atypical Load Architecture via Custom Pallet Racking
Overcoming irregular spatial footprints involves designing custom pallet racking with asymmetrical upright placements and variable load-beam capacities. Constructing this bespoke framework in a Santa Ana facility optimizes the storage cube by neutralizing geometric inefficiencies and engineering specific structural tolerances for unique supply chain commodities.
- ✓Calculate variable load-beam capacities for asymmetrical configurations.
- ✓Neutralize geometric inefficiencies through XYZ spatial modeling.
- ✓Audit structural tolerances for bespoke commodity dimensions.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A
Question
"What metallurgical modifications are required when engineering custom racking for highly caustic storage environments in Santa Ana, CA?"
Holden Conner Senior Estimator & Material Quote Specialist
Standard powder-coated carbon steel degrades rapidly in caustic atmospheres. Custom architectures require hot-dipped galvanized structural profiles, utilizing ASTM A123 compliance, paired with marine-grade stainless steel wedge anchors to prevent catastrophic galvanic corrosion at the baseplates.
