Full-Service Pallet Rack Installation

Installing pallet rack isn’t stacking shelves — it’s a structural installation that must meet building codes, seismic standards, and manufacturer specifications. Improper installation creates safety hazards, voids warranties, and won’t pass inspection. Our professional crews handle every step.

📐 Pre-Installation

  • Site survey and floor condition assessment
  • CAD layout design optimized for your operations
  • Seismic engineering with stamped drawings
  • Building permit application and coordination
  • Material ordering and delivery scheduling

🔧 Installation

  • Floor marking and anchor point layout
  • Concrete drilling and anchor bolt installation
  • Upright frame assembly and plumbing
  • Beam installation with safety clips
  • Wire decking, guards, and accessories

✅ Post-Installation

  • Plumb and level verification
  • Load capacity label placement
  • Building inspection coordination
  • Final walkthrough with your team
  • Warranty documentation delivery

🛡️ Safety Standards

  • ANSI/RMI MH16.1 compliance
  • IBC seismic design requirements
  • OSHA workplace safety standards
  • Local fire code clearances
  • ADA accessibility requirements

Why Professional Installation Matters

The cost of improper installation far exceeds the cost of doing it right.

⚠️ Risks of DIY Installation

Improperly anchored rack can collapse under load. Out-of-plumb frames reduce capacity by up to 50%. Wrong anchor bolt patterns fail seismic inspections. Missing safety clips allow beams to dislodge during forklift impact. Manufacturer warranties require professional installation for coverage.

✅ Professional Installation Benefits

Code-compliant from day one. Full warranty coverage maintained. Passes building inspection on the first visit. Proper load capacity ratings for your specific configuration. Crews complete in days what takes untrained teams weeks — minimizing operational disruption.

Pallet Rack Installation FAQ

How long does pallet rack installation take?

Small projects (1–20 bays) typically complete in 1–2 days. Medium projects (20–100 bays) take 2–5 days. Large warehouse installations of 100+ bays take 1–3 weeks with multiple crews. We coordinate schedules to minimize disruption to your operations.

Do I need a building permit for pallet rack?

In most jurisdictions, yes — pallet rack over 5’6″ in height requires a building permit. Utah and Idaho cities all require permits for commercial rack installations. We handle the full permitting process including engineered drawings, application filing, and inspection scheduling.

Can you install rack in my operating warehouse?

Absolutely. We regularly install rack in active warehouses. We work in phases, during off-hours, or in sections to keep your operations running. Safety barriers and coordination with your team ensure safe operations throughout the project.

What seismic requirements apply in Utah?

Utah is classified as Seismic Design Category D, requiring engineered anchor bolt patterns, specific base plate sizes, and lateral bracing designed for seismic forces. Every system we install meets IBC seismic standards with stamped engineering documentation.

Do you remove old pallet rack?

Yes. We offer rack removal, relocation, and buyback services. If you’re upgrading, moving, or reconfiguring, we’ll disassemble your existing rack and install your new system — often in the same project timeline.
