About Enlinx
Enlinx is a third-party logistics (3PL) provider operating from a large-scale warehouse facility at 6935 West 2100 South in West Valley City, Utah. As a 3PL, Enlinx manages warehousing, inventory storage, order fulfillment, and distribution services on behalf of multiple client companies. Their facility handles a diverse range of palletized products from various industries, requiring a flexible and high-capacity storage system that can adapt as client needs evolve and inventory volumes fluctuate.
The Situation
Enlinx needed a large-scalepallet rack system to outfit their West Valley City warehouse for third-party logistics operations. As a 3PL provider storing inventory for multiple clients, the facility required a storage solution that could handle high volumes of diverse palletized products while maintaining direct access to every pallet position for fast order fulfillment and efficient inventory rotation.
The warehouse features tall ceilings with building support columns spaced throughout the floor, requiring careful rack layout planning to maximize storage density without conflicting with the existing structural elements. The installation needed to run long continuous rows of rack across the full length of the facility, with enough beam levels to take advantage of the available vertical clearance and enough aisle width for forklift operations.
The Installation
The completed installation runs long continuous rows of green teardrop pallet rack with orange step beams stretching the full length of the warehouse floor. The rack system provides four or more beam levels per bay, with wire mesh decking on every shelf for solid pallet support and fire sprinkler compliance. Building support columns are integrated intotherack layout without sacrificing storage positions.
The Solution
Material Handling USA designed and installed a full-warehouse selectivepallet rack system for Enlinx’s 3PL operations. The system uses heavy-duty green powder-coated teardrop uprights with orange step beams, configured in long back-to-back rows running the full length of the facility. Wire mesh decking on every beam level provides solid shelf surfaces for palletized inventory while maintaining fire sprinkler code compliance.
The rack layout was engineered around the building’s structural support columns, ensuring maximum storage density without compromising forklift access or aisle clearances. The selective rack configuration gives Enlinx direct access to every pallet position from the aisle — a critical requirement for a 3PL operation that handles receiving, storage, and shipping for multiple clients with different inventory profilesand fulfillment schedules.
The installation was completed while co or dinating with Enlinx’s operational timeline, staging materials efficiently to minimize disruption and deliver a fully operational storage system ready for immediate use by their logistics team.
