  Awkward appliance distribution

Custom racking setups in St Louis, MO mean custom permit headaches. The Building Division will not let you build near The Gateway Arch | The tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere. without stamped engineered drawings. Call (314) 622-3313 or visit 1200 Market St, Room 425, St. Louis, MO 63103 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.

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 St Louis 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.
