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 Evansville, IN workers with the right steel.

  • ✓
    Heavy engine block storage
  • ✓
    Awkward appliance distribution

Do not guess the structural math on your custom racking layout. Clear it with the Evansville Building Commission located at 1 NW MLK Jr Blvd, Rm 310, Evansville, IN 47708 (or call (812) 436-7885). They demand proof that your unique storage grid meets local fire and safety codes, especially when operating close to USS LST-325 Memorial | A decommissioned WWII Navy ship; symbols of the city’s deep industrial history. Confirm your specific seismic zone classification before anchoring those weirdly shaped uprights.

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 Evansville 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

"How do custom asymmetrical frame profiles handle dynamic torsional forces during material handling sequences in Evansville, IN?"

Holden Conner Senior Estimator & Material Quote Specialist

Asymmetrical frames inherently lack balanced structural symmetry, necessitating heavy-duty horizontal and diagonal strut lacing. This specialized triangulation neutralizes the lateral sway and dynamic torsional forces introduced when equipment engages the eccentric bays.

Custom Racking Solutions FAQ

Q: Why do I need custom racks instead of standard teardrop in Evansville?

Because standard racks do not fit around weird support columns, low ceiling pipes, or oddly shaped buildings. Custom racks squeeze storage into your dead space.

Q: Can you build racks for oversized freight?

Yes. If you are storing massive engine blocks or weirdly sized crates, we engineer custom depths and beam capacities to hold it safely.

Q: Does a custom layout cost a lot more in Evansville?

Not compared to the cost of renting a bigger building. A custom setup maximizes the square footage you already pay for and keeps you from moving.
