Pallet Racks in Shelbyville, IL

The Shelbyville Industrial Rail Spur is a two-mile track connecting local plants to Union Pacific. Plants on the spur receive raw material in bulk, which needs open staging space near the rail door before it goes into storage.

Automotive and marine parts plants ship many small components. Carton flow lanes put each part number at a fixed pick face, restocked from the back, so pickers fill orders without searching shelves. Lanes are sized from your case dimensions, not a standard bay.

Reserve pallets sit on selective rack above or behind the carton flow, so replenishment is a short forklift trip.

Marine parts can be oddly shaped: hull components, rails and long trim pieces. Long items go on cantilever. Bulky but light parts may need deeper frames or wider bays on pallet rack. We measure your largest parts before choosing.

Small marine hardware fits well in carton flow lanes alongside automotive components.

Winter storms on Route 16 can delay deliveries from Springfield. We plan installs with a buffer and watch forecasts closely. In summer, crews start early in buildings without air conditioning.

Automotive parts often ship in standardized returnable containers or in corrugated cases. Returnables need storage space when empty, often a floor lane or low rack bays. Cases go into carton flow or onto pallets.

We review your container types and sizes, then plan storage for full and empty containers separately. That keeps empties from crowding pick areas.

Plants with both automotive and marine lines may need two pick zones.

Metal stock, castings and molded parts are heavy. Beams are sized to the heaviest load per level, and frames anchored to the floor. Long bar or tube goes on cantilever rack instead of across beams.

If a plant is consolidating into a single building, our warehouse relocation service can move the rack and reset it in the new layout.
