What rack should a small manufacturer start with?

Selective teardrop rack works for mixed raw material and finished goods. Cantilever takes long stock out of pallet bays. We plan row spacing around any future mezzanine area.

How much will a pallet rack project cost?

There is no single price for a rack project. Positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation set the quote. Send pallet dimensions, heaviest level load, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote.

Which rack sizes fit standard pallets?

For 48-inch-deep pallets, 42-inch-deep uprights are common. A 96-inch beam commonly fits two 40-inch pallets; 108- and 144-inch beams are other options, with 144 inches commonly fitting three. Measure real pallets, then set height from clear height and forklift lift.

Can you confirm delivery timing before I order?

Yes, lead time is confirmed on the quote. Standard teardrop sizes often quick-ship; high-density and non-standard sizes take longer. Install time depends on bay count and site readiness.

Taylorville is about 27 miles southeast of Springfield on Illinois Route 29. Most of the racking work here comes from small and midsize light-industrial companies putting up new buildings, which is the best time to plan storage: before the walls go up, not after.

We draw selective pallet rack layouts that leave room for a mezzanine or a second phase, so a new building does not get boxed in by its first rack order.

The Route 29 Industrial Park

The Taylorville Commercial and Industrial Park sits off Hopper Drive on the southwest side of Route 29, the main road to Springfield. The city bought the park in 2025 and is selling lots for light-industrial buildings. Federal EDA funding paid for water, sewer and road work across the 47-acre site.

The park lies inside the Christian County Enterprise Zone, TIF District No. 1 and Business Development District No. 1. For a company weighing a new build, that makes the storage plan part of the early budget conversation.

Planning Rack Before the Building Is Done

When you build new, you choose the clear height, the column grid and the dock positions. Each one affects pallet count. A layout drawn early shows how a few extra feet of height or a shifted column line changes the number of positions.

Small manufacturers often want offices, parts storage or light assembly above the rack area. A mezzanine-friendly layout keeps aisles and column spacing compatible with that later addition.

Choosing Clear Height for a New Building

Most buildings around here are 16-24 ft clear. When you build new, you get to pick. The jump from 20 to 24 ft can add a full beam level for standard loads, but only if your forklifts can lift that high. We lay out both heights and show the position count for each, alongside the trucks you own today.

Column spacing matters just as much. A grid that lines up with standard bay widths keeps rows continuous instead of broken up by columns.

Weather During Construction

New buildings often get their rack while the site is still busy with trades. Spring severe weather and winter snow can slow both. We coordinate with your contractor so steel is delivered when there is a clean, covered place to stage it.

Recent Growth in Town

Taylorville has seen a new warehouse for a metering-equipment manufacturer and a 50,000 SF facility created from existing space. Both kinds of projects need rack sized to real inventory, not guesses.

If an existing business is moving into a new Taylorville building, our warehouse relocation crew can tear down, move and reset the rack. For long stock like conduit or bar, cantilever rack keeps it off the floor.
