Pallet Racks in Florence, KY
Pallet racks in Florence, KY start with three numbers: your heaviest pallet, your clear height and the reach of your forklift. We plan selective warehouse racking around those numbers for general distribution buildings from Industrial Rd to the airport parks in Hebron.
Selective rack gives every pallet its own face on the aisle. It is the system most mixed-SKU warehouses should run, and the one we size every other option against.
Pallet Rack Systems for General Distribution
Selective pallet rack systems are single-deep rows of teardrop uprights and step beams. Every position is reachable without moving another pallet, which matters once you carry hundreds of SKUs and pick straight off the rack face.
Most distribution buildings along Dixie Hwy (US-25) and in the Hebron airport parks run mixed inventory with steady turns. That is exactly where selective rack earns its floor space.
Sizing Industrial Pallet Racks to Your Building
Frame depth
42-inch-deep uprights carry standard 48-inch-deep pallets with the right overhang front and back.
Beam length
96-inch beams hold two 40-inch pallets; 144-inch beams hold three. 108-inch beams buy room for wider loads.
Beam capacity
Rated per pair, per level. We size it from your heaviest pallet and post it on load plaques.
Height
Set by clear height and your truck's lift height, with room to lift the highest pallet off the beam.
Industrial Warehouse Racking in Older and Newer Buildings
Northern Kentucky has two building stocks. The 1960s–1970s buildings in Florence's Northern Kentucky Industrial Park run about 20–28 ft clear with tight 24 x 40 ft column grids, so rows have to land between columns and beam levels have to be planned to the inch.
Newer space is a different job. Prologis Park West sits around 30 ft clear, Lakeland Logistics Center in Burlington reaches 36 ft, and the Walton big boxes run 32–40 ft. Taller warehouse pallet racks there add levels, so frame capacity and beam spacing get more attention.
Design, Quote and Install
- Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size.
- We return a free CAD layout with the exact pallet position count and an itemized quote.
- Standard pallet rack components can ship through our 48-hour quick ship program; the quote confirms lead time.
- Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set the rows, anchored to the floor.
- Summer heat in non-air-conditioned buildings means crews often start early, and winter snow and ice can slow dock work, so we schedule around both.
Moving Your Rack to a New Building?
If you are leaving a 20 ft building for 32 ft space, the rack layout should change with you. Our warehouse relocation service covers teardown, reinstall and the new beams you need to use the extra height.
