Structural Double-Deep Pallet Rack Installation
Before
After
QCD needed to increase pallet capacity and reduce rack damage inside a 12,480 sq ft warehouse facility in Aurora, Colorado. The cooler area was originally designed for 681 pallet loads, but growing demand required higher density storage and improved rack durability in both dry and refrigerated environments.
The Challenge: Increase Cooler Capacity and Reduce Rack Damage
The customer needed to expand pallet positions without expanding square footage. At the same time, forklift impact damage to front rack uprights was creating repair costs and operational risk.
The solution needed to:
- Increase pallet capacity within existing cooler footprint
- Improve storage density in dry and refrigerated areas
- Minimize forklift damage to rack uprights
- Improve overall warehouse storage efficiency
The Solution: Structural Double-Deep Pallet Rack With Slant-Back Uprights
Western Storage and Handling installed a structural selective pallet rack system in a double-deep configuration to maximize pallet density. The system incorporated a slant-back upright design that reduces the likelihood of forklift impact on front rack posts, helping minimize long-term damage and maintenance costs.
This engineered configuration increased cooler capacity while improving rack durability and warehouse efficiency.
Results: Increased Capacity, Reduced Damage, and Revenue Growth
The new pallet rack system significantly increased storage density while reducing damage-related costs.
