High-Capacity Push-Back Pallet Rack Installation for Aurora Warehouse
The Challenge: Increase Storage Density and Support Warehouse Growth
A warehouse in Aurora, Colorado needed to increase storage capacity and improve operational efficiency as distribution demands continued to grow. The facility required a storage solution that would maximize space within its existing footprint while supporting both freezer and dry storage environments.
The client needed a system that would:
- Increase pallet storage density without expanding the building
- Support multiple storage environments including freezer and dry storage
- Improve inventory organization and access
- Meet engineering, permitting, and safety requirements
- Be implemented with minimal disruption to operations
- Traditional storage methods would not provide the required capacity or operational flexibility.
The Solution: High-Density Push-Back Pallet Rack System
Western Storage and Handling designed and installed a high-capacity push-back pallet rack system engineered to increase storage density while maintaining efficient access to inventory. Push-back racking allows pallets to be stored multiple positions deep, reducing aisle requirements and maximizing available warehouse space.
The project included:
- Selective push-back pallet rack system installation
- 54 bays configured for freezer storage
- 30 bays configured for dry storage
- Engineered stamped drawings and structural calculations
- Permitting and code compliance support
- Complete project management and installation
The system supports both FIFO and FILO inventory management strategies depending on operational needs and provides flexible storage for a wide range of products.
The Results: Improved Storage Capacity and Operational Efficiency
The new push-back pallet rack system significantly increased storage capacity while improving warehouse organization and workflow efficiency. By optimizing the existing facility layout, the client was able to scale operations without expanding physical space.
Key outcomes include:
- Increased pallet storage density
- Optimized use of existing warehouse space
- Improved storage for both freezer and dry goods
- Enhanced operational flexibility and inventory control
- Fully engineered and code-compliant installation
The completed system supports long-term growth while maintaining safe and efficient warehouse operations.
