It's the system most warehouses run because it trades storage density for something more valuable once SKU counts climb - a driver never has to move one pallet to get at another. Indianapolis operators handling mixed receipts around Park 100 and the I-465 loop often need that access more than another deep reserve lane. When an incoming order changes, your team can retrieve the required SKU without unloading its neighbors. We compare the available positions with the aisles and staging floor your operation needs before recommending a layout. It earns its keep when inventory is mixed, picking happens straight off the rack face, or you simply don't hold enough of any one item to justify a deeper system. The tradeoff is real: selective racking spends floor space on aisles that pushback or drive-in would give back to storage. We size industrial pallet racks to your heaviest pallet, your lift truck's reach, and the clear height you're already leasing, then hand back a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote - so you know what you're buying before steel ships. (317) 659-6552 ## Why Indianapolis Warehouses Work With Us Indianapolis connects I-65, I-69, I-70, and I-74, but good interstate access does not fix an internal storage bottleneck. Park 100 distribution buildings and older industrial space near Speedway need different row arrangements. We use the floor plan you provide to separate reserve storage from daily working space, rather than treating every building inside the loop as an open shell. The decision is made from load dimensions, receiving patterns, and the equipment actually operating in the building. For this pallet rack project, the specific task is to match direct pallet access with forklift aisles and the height each load actually needs. We compare usable positions with the floor needed for daily access. Mixed pallet dimensions, changing SKU counts, and forklift reach can call for different bay arrangements within one building. The proposed drawing records those differences rather than pricing every row as though the inventory were identical. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we bring storage-layout, quoting, and installation experience dating to 1997. Your consultation uses the measurements and photos you provide. You get the proposed layout and itemized scope before committing, with one contact to coordinate questions about delivery, installation, and later changes. ## How Pallet Rack Works 1 ### Frames and beams Roll-formed or structural upright frames carry pairs of load beams across the aisle. Beam length, frame depth, and steel gauge follow your heaviest pallet, not a catalog default. 2 ### One position, one pallet Each pallet sits on a beam level facing the aisle. Nothing gets moved to reach anything else, which is the entire point of paying for two aisles instead of one. 3 ### Beam elevations to the ceiling Levels follow the usable clear height and forklift lift height so the design uses the vertical space you are already renting. 4 ### Decking, guarding, protection Wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding get specified in the same layout instead of tacked on later as an afterthought.

That's what sets beam capacity and how many levels the building will actually carry. From there our design team draws pallet positions, beam elevations, and aisle centerlines in CAD, then prices every line so you see cost per pallet position instead of a lump sum. That number is what lets you compare selective against pushback or drive-in honestly - selective usually costs less per position to build but more per position in floor space. Standard components ship from stock, and delivery gets staged around your dock rather than one truck dropped all at once. Installation crews anchor every frame to the floor and align it, hang decking, and tag capacities on the finished rows. What you're left with is racking that matches how the building runs, load-rating documentation your team can post, and one number to call when you are planning additional rows or a layout change. Before ordering, confirm which pallets bear on beams and which loads require decking or additional supports. The drawing also distinguishes floor positions from elevated positions and shows the working clearances your forklift requires. Changes in beam elevation or pallet weight should be reviewed against the finished configuration ratings rather than assumed to fit. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
