Custom racking setups in London, KY mean custom permit headaches. The Building & Codes will not let you build near Camp Wildcat Civil War Battlefield | Site of one of the first Union victories in the state. without stamped engineered drawings. Call (606) 864-4169 or visit 501 S. Main Street, London, KY 40741 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 London warehouse ensures that complex bay geometries align perfectly with specialized material handling equipment (MHE) trajectories and localized load-bearing constraints.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"What metallurgical modifications are required when engineering custom racking for highly caustic storage environments in London, KY?"

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.

Seamless Custom Fabrication and Installation

Custom Racking Solutions FAQ

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

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 London?

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.
