WHY PLANNING AHEAD IS IMPORTANT

Many times when we get a call for Pallet Rack Installations or other warehouse equipment, the customer wants to complete the installation in a short time. They waited until the last minute and now, they are scrambling.

With COVID-19 an additional complication is the the long lead time for materials. Most rack companies are 3 - 6 month out for orders. Placing an order early can lock in pricing. Forklifts lead times are worse for equipment that needs to be ordered from the factory. 

And then there is permitting. Getting a pallet rack installation permit requires a variety of sealed drawings by various disciplines of Architects and Engineers. Once the  Permit Package is submitted, the review process normally takes a few weeks depending on the size or the permitting office staff.

Early planning will also give you the opportunity to visualize the layout of the pallet racks and make adjustments prior to installation. It will help to identify other items such as safety equipment, lockers, storage cabinets, camera placement and security caging if needed.
