Pallet Racks and Carton Flow in Covington, KY
Pallet racks in Covington, KY fit two very different building types. Latonia has brand-new 32 ft clear space, while older industrial buildings sit near Madison Ave.
Selective warehouse racking and carton flow cover most co-packing and light distribution jobs here. Each building needs its own layout.
Industrial Warehouse Racking Specs We Confirm
Older Madison Ave buildings often carry leftover rack from past tenants. New components can be added if the connection matches. Send a photo of the upright face and beam connector, and we check it.
Mismatched parts are not worth the risk. If the old rack cannot be matched, we quote new frames and beams sized to your loads and lay them out to suit the building.
- Actual pallet footprint, including any overhang.
- Heaviest load per level, for beam pair ratings.
- Forklift lift height and the aisle it needs.
- Column positions measured, not taken from old drawings.
- Dock and staging zones kept clear of rows.
New Latonia Buildings on W. 38th St
Latonia's industrial area runs along W. 38th St near the railroad. Its 2023 buildings were the city's first new industrial construction in decades. Expect 32 ft clear height and square 50 x 50 ft column bays, with 60 ft staging at the docks.
That is modern space with room for five or more beam levels. Square grids make row planning straightforward.
Carton Flow Rack for Co-Packing
A warehousing and co-packing company operates near the Latonia Commerce Center. Co-packing means kitting components and case picks all day. Carton flow rack feeds those components to the line.
Pallet reserve above keeps restock close. Lane widths follow your component cases. Heavier cases get a steeper pitch adjustment and stronger wheel beds. Light, small cartons get narrower lanes with guides, so more SKUs fit across each bay at waist height.
Fitting Rack to Older Column Grids
Older large buildings near Madison Ave sit about 3/4 mile from I-71/75. Their column spacing rarely matches modern rack bays. We mix bay lengths so uprights clear the columns.
Beam levels follow the real clear height, measured on site. Rows get anchored to the floor.
Warehouse Racking for Small Multi-Tenant Suites
Newer small warehouses toward Fort Wright, off Howard Litzler Rd, run 24–32 ft clear. Short suites mean short rows. Selective pallet racks with two-pallet bays usually fit best.
Light distribution tenants need access to every SKU. Selectivity matters more than density here. In a 24 ft suite, four beam levels are often realistic. In 32 ft space, five or six may fit, depending on pallet height and the lift your forklift reaches.
