Pallet Racks and Shelving in Sherman, IL
Sherman sits on I-55 at exit 105, about 8 miles north of our office, with direct access from Business 55 and Route 4. Businesses here are mostly service companies, contractors and small distributors, and their storage needs are modest but specific.
We set up light-duty selective pallet rack and shelving sized to what you store, not to a warehouse twice your size.
Location on Springfield's North Edge
Sherman is 7 miles north of the I-55 / I-72 crossroads and 7 miles north of Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. About 59 acres of I-55 frontage land runs from town south toward the Sangamon River, roughly 1.7 miles from the exit.
For a small distributor, that means quick access to both interstates without paying for space in a large park.
Sizing Rack for a Small Shop
A small building usually has lower clear height and a single forklift, sometimes just a pallet jack. We start there. Two or three beam levels with wire decking might hold everything you need, with shelving for parts and supplies along one wall.
Light-duty does not mean flimsy. Beams are still sized to the heaviest load per level, and every frame gets anchored.
- Two or three beam levels with wire decking
- Shelving runs for parts and supplies
- Aisles sized to the truck or pallet jack you use
Service Businesses and Mixed Storage
Service companies store equipment, replacement parts and supplies, often in the same room. Pallet rack holds heavy items at floor level, shelving handles boxes and small parts, and wall space keeps long items off the floor. We draw it all as one plan.
Labeling matters in a small space. Clearly marked bays mean technicians grab the right part without hunting.
Install Without Shutting Down
Small businesses need to keep working during installation. We schedule experienced installation crews we manage around the agreed work zones, often early in the morning. Snow and ice in winter can push a delivery, so we confirm the weather before the truck leaves.
Using the I-55 Frontage Land
The 59 acres of frontage land south of town could host new small industrial buildings. A business building there gets to choose its clear height. Even a few feet of extra height can add a beam level, and we can lay out both options before the design is finished.
Small new buildings also benefit from a simple, regular column grid. Rack rows stay unbroken and easy to extend.
Growing Into More Rack
Most small businesses add rack over time. We use standard frame and beam sizes so a second row matches the first. If long stock is part of the mix, cantilever rack along a wall keeps it out of the aisle.
