Pallet Racks & Warehouse Racking in Conway, SC

Selective rack gives mixed products separate accessible positions without committing several locations to one item. Use inventory quantities and order frequency to decide how much frontage each product needs. Keep reserve and active selection assignments visible so operators know whether a location holds the next picking pallet or stock awaiting later replenishment.

Beam spans should accommodate the widest actual loads plus placement clearance, while each beam pair is selected for its specified combined level weight. Uprights require a configuration review that includes beam spacing. Confirm support requirements beneath each pallet base, especially where mixed inbound pallets differ from the standard format used elsewhere in storage.

Pushback lanes can consolidate repeated reserve pallets when last-in, first-out withdrawal is acceptable. Assign each lane from actual inventory per product and the quantity normally awaiting replenishment. A deeper lane does not create useful capacity if small stock quantities leave many positions empty or require unrelated products to share the same loading face.

Reserve pallet bases, load variation and load stability must match the cart arrangement. Include representative reserve pallets in the review rather than assuming every inbound format will behave alike. Preserve an approach aisle that supports placement and retrieval, and check how reserve replenishment interacts with active picking during the busiest part of dispatch.

Dedicated carton flow lanes can present frequently picked cases without placing order selection inside pallet-loading space. Size lanes from carton dimensions, weight and base characteristics, then allocate frontage by active product count. Reserve pallets should have defined replenishment positions so opening another carton lane does not simply transfer congestion to an adjacent aisle.

Order assembly needs its own footprint beyond the picking face. Show where selected cases accumulate, how completed orders leave and how replenishment reaches the opposite side of the lanes. Comparing these movements on the layout helps reveal whether extra pick frontage would reduce working space needed to handle the orders already being assembled.

A dispatch-led CAD drawing should show rack rows alongside receiving, cross aisles and outbound staging boundaries. Provide building measurements, doors, columns, usable clear height and the forklift model with its load-handling specifications. Review a busy dispatch period on the drawing, including occupied staging areas, rather than evaluating truck travel only through an otherwise empty building.

An itemized new-rack proposal separates component quantities, supports, freight and installation so the agreed arrangement is clear. Installation involves experienced installation crews we schedule and manage, with work areas coordinated around ongoing warehouse activity. Final checks cover configuration, load plaques and storage assignments; retain the drawing when reviewing later changes to product weights or replenishment patterns.
