Warehouse Racking & Storage FAQs
Have questions about warehouse racking? You’re in good company. Whether you’re setting up a small shop or designing a full-scale warehouse, these are the questions we hear most often. 

What are warehouse storage solutions?

Warehouse storage includes racking systems like pallet racks, cantilever racks, mezzanines, and boltless shelving. These systems help you make better use of vertical space while keeping things organized and accessible. Learn more about our products here.

 

How much does warehouse racking cost?

Costs vary based on size, material, and whether you choose new or used. We carry both and are happy to provide a quote for your options. Request a quote here.

 

Is there one type of shelving best for heavy or bulky items?

Not exactly. All three major types—pallet racking, cantilever racks, and boltless shelving—can be built to handle heavy loads. The best choice depends on your materials, handling equipment, and space. View our side-by-side product guide.



Should I buy new or used racking?

  • New is great for custom sizing, safety compliance, and long-term planning.
     
  • Used can save money and still perform reliably if properly maintained.
    We inspect everything we sell—used doesn’t mean risky.



Do I need permits or inspections for warehouse racks?

Yes. Permitting and inspections help meet fire codes, seismic safety, and spacing regulations. We can guide you through that process.



Who handles warehouse racking inspections?

Our team works with third-party professionals to get you the necessary sign-offs before installation. You don’t need to coordinate it alone.



Can I install the racking myself?

Sure, if your team is equipped for it. We also offer professional installation to make sure everything is done right and up to code.



How do I organize my racking system efficiently?

We’ll help you figure that out. We offer layout planning based on your flow, inventory, and space. Ask us about a walk-through.

 

Can you help design my warehouse layout?

Definitely. We offer layout advice and product guidance for optimal storage efficiency.


How long does racking last?

Years, if not decades, with proper use. Most replacements happen because needs change, not because racks wear out.

 

What’s the benefit of boltless shelving?

It’s quick to assemble, adjustable, and great for changing inventory needs.

 


What other equipment do I need to run my storage system?

Common tools include pallet jacks, lifts, gravity conveyors, and carts. We sell all of the above. Check out our handling equipment and other helpful products.
