Concern: Relocating Pallet Rack to a Larger Facility

A company that sells office furniture was moving operations to a new building and required a larger racking system. Because of growth, the company required a larger selective rack system at the new facility. To reduce costs, the company wanted to use their current rack system at their new facility but was unsure if it was an option. Since they needed more storage than their current racking could provide, the company also required new racking to be added onto the existing system to accommodate its expansion. 

Solution: Full Project Management for Rack Relocation and Addition 

The company chose REB for this project because it was ideal for them to work with one provider who could provide full project management including rack assessment, design, transportation, permitting support, and installation. First, REB assessed the company’s racking to determine which components were usable. Next, REB’s project designers created a layout optimized for the company’s new facility that integrated new selective rack and their existing usable selective rack.  

Once the layout was finalized the first phase of the project commenced. REB dismantled the system, packed all components, and arranged for safe transportation of the system to the new facility. This rack was then reinstalled at the new facility. 

The second phase included the integration of the new pallet racking into the system. 42” and 44” deep selective pallet racking was outfitted with wire deck to provide high accessibility of the company’s inventory.

Outcome: Selective Rack System for New Facility

The selective rack system expansion in the company’s new facility delivers high selectivity and accessibility to the company’s inventory. Integrating the company’s existing racking into this system provided significant cost-savings to the company. By using REB for this project, the company had one point of contact for the entire project’s scope.
