Call (269) 390-9036." lang: en --- Image: Selective Pallet Rack in a warehouse (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/assets/pallet-rack-hero-Bx52nYZg.jpg) # Selective Pallet Rack in Kalamazoo, MI Selective rack is still the right answer for most general distribution buildings. Every pallet sits on a beam with its face to the aisle, so any position is one forklift trip away. When a building carries hundreds of SKUs and a few pallets of each, nothing beats it for access. We lay it out for the buildings this market actually has: new 32 ft clear bulk space along I-94, older 18–24 ft plants in Portage and Comstock, and multi-tenant floors in places like Midlink Business Park. (269) 390-9036: 2693909036 ## Sizing Pallet Racks to Your Building Clear height sets the number of beam levels. In a 32 ft clear spec building off Sprinkle Road near Pavilion Commerce Park, a reach truck can work five or six levels. In a 20 ft clear steel building in Battle Creek, three levels plus floor storage is typical. We measure to the lowest obstruction, then back off for lift-off clearance above the highest load. Beam capacity comes from your heaviest pallet, not the average one. A 48 x 40 pallet of finished goods at 2,000 lb needs a different beam than a 1,200 lb pallet of packaging. We size frames and beams per bay, so you are not paying for steel you will never load.

A stand-up reach truck works in 9–10 ft. Very narrow aisle equipment can run under 6 ft with guidance. The truck you run, or plan to run, decides how many rows fit between the column lines. Older plants in Portage (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/portage) and Comstock Township (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/comstock-township) often have tight or uneven column grids. We draw rows to land between columns so you do not lose a bay to every post. In the newer Oshtemo Township (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/oshtemo-township) buildings we can plan the rack package before the tenant moves in. ## Warehouse Racking for High-SKU Pharma and Med-Device Storage Pharmaceutical and medical-device warehouses in Kalamazoo and Portage need clean, well-labeled, high-SKU storage. Selective rack paired with carton flow (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/carton-flow-rack) at the pick face keeps full pallets above and each-picks at waist height. Labeling, wire decking and flue spacing get worked out on the drawing so the system arrives complete. Every frame is anchored to the floor. ## How a Selective Rack Project Runs 1 ### Measure Clear height, column spacing, dock doors, pallet size and weight, forklift type. 2 ### Draw A CAD layout with position counts and aisle widths you can mark up. 3 ### Quote An itemized quote by frame, beam, deck and accessory. 4 ### Install Scheduled around your shipping days and, in winter, around the weather.
