pallet racking installations

Every install is checked against its plan before handover, so it’s ready for a licensed engineer’s review.

what starts an install?

Each one changes where the racking can stand or what its beams have to hold.

an empty building

a different forklift

The keys came with a date for the first inbound truck and nothing standing on the slab.
The new forklift needs wider or narrower aisles than the racking was laid out for.

taller loads

no drawing

A new customer ships pallets taller than the gap between your beam levels.
Somebody added bays every time the work grew, and no drawing shows what’s standing now.

new steel or racking already standing

Both get beam levels and aisle widths set for the loads and forklifts you run today

how an installation runs

The rep who quotes your install stays your contact until the racking is handed over.

1. site check

We check the slab and the column spacing where each run will stand.

2. plan

You approve the layout and the install dates before the crew arrives.

3. install

The racking goes up to the approved layout, and any change a column or a floor drain forces gets marked on the drawing.

4. handover

You get the drawings and records for the Pre-Start Health and Safety Review, which Ontario requires from a licensed engineer before the racking goes into use.

changed racking needs the review again

Moving a beam level for taller pallets brings the review back, and so does a forklift that needs different aisles.
That requirement comes from O. Reg. 851 in Ontario, and it covers used racking the same as new. Under the 2024 Ontario Building Code, some municipalities also ask for a permit and engineer-certified seismic anchorage before an install or reconfiguration. When the engineer's report asks for a repair, we make it before the bays are loaded. Maintenance and Inspections explains the review in full.

the work either side of an install

Some floors need the layout worked out or the racking bought first, and some racking is coming down instead of going up.
  • Design & Consultation

    Start here when you know you’re short of room but not yet what the layout should be.
  • sales

    Choose new racking, used racking or a mix of both to fill the layout.
  • moving & dismantling

    We take racking down to go with you to a new building, or to clear the floor for good.
