Pallet Rack Relocation

As a business evolves, you may find the need to move your racking system around, or expand into a new warehouse. BL Pallet Racking can help you relocate pallet racks, cantilever racks, and other storage options used in your warehouse. Expanding and changing the layout of your business can improve efficiency after your business has been in operation for years. 

Reasons For Pallet Rack Relocation 

There are a multitude of reasons why pallet racking could need to be relocated. Moving the entire system is quite the process, so it is important to do your research before uprooting your storage system. Let’s look at some common circumstances where pallet racking may need to be relocated.

Moving To A New Facility

Any business has the potential to expand, which could mean moving to a new location when necessary. Other businesses may need to move warehouses or retail spaces due to financial reasons, environmental damage, or change in ownership. Pallet racking can be moved in a relocation circumstance fairly easily when done by a professional. Moving an entire racking system is quite a bit of work, but if it is moving to another spacious warehouse, there won’t be many hurdles to overcome.

Addressing Inefficient Layouts

As a business changes or gets new inventory, they may learn that their current storage set up is inefficient. Pallet racking should make unloading, loading, shipping, and storage easier, so if that is not the case, your racking should be relocated. Creating new aisles or a clearer driving path for forklifts is a good reason to relocate certain racks. Making your warehouse more efficient will result in less damages and lower the risk of the need to move pallet racking systems.

Your Warehouse Needs A Deep Clean

Some racking options can make it more difficult to complete a deep clean in your warehouse. Moving heavy pallets around and driving a forklift around the warehouse can lead to accumulation of dust, dander, and dirt. Moving racking out of the warehouse on a temporary basis can allow you to deep clean the floor and walls, giving you a more productive and healthy workspace. 

Reach Out To The Building Planning Authority

Before moving a pallet racking system to a new building you will need to discuss your plans with the new building planning authority. Different permits or regulations may need to be met when installing your pallet racking. Each city and state will have different considerations for safety that need to be considered when installing an industrial storage option. These ensure the design is safe and doesn’t cause injury to employees or customers.
