Standard racks do not fix every headache. Custom pallet racking is built specifically for your exact floor plan and weirdly shaped products. We build a system that maximizes every inch of your Boulder, CO building so you stop paying for dead air.
- ✓Buildings with odd structural layouts
- ✓Companies storing non-standard pallet sizes
Custom racking setups in Boulder, CO mean custom permit headaches. The Boulder Building Permits will not let you build near The Flatirons | Distinctive reddish-brown rock formations flanking the city. without stamped engineered drawings. Call (303) 441-1880 or visit 1101 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO 80302 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.
Designing Around Building Quirks and Columns
We do not believe in dead space caused by awkward support columns or low-hanging pipes. Our engineering team maps your exact building constraints and designs custom layouts that maximize every inch of your available floor plan.
FEA Profiling in Custom Pallet Racking
Developing custom pallet racking systems requires granular structural profiling to counteract highly concentrated point-load distributions. Integrating these custom-engineered matrices into a Boulder warehouse ensures that complex bay geometries align perfectly with specialized material handling equipment (MHE) trajectories and localized load-bearing constraints.
- ✓Profile concentrated point-load distribution vectors.
- ✓Synchronize custom bay geometries with specialized MHE trajectories.
- ✓Calibrate localized load-bearing constraints against custom footprint calculations.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A
Question
"What metallurgical modifications are required when engineering custom racking for highly caustic storage environments in Boulder, CO?"
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.
