Pallet Racks & Warehouse Equipment in Charlotte, NC

Selective Pallet Racking for Converted Mill-Era Buildings

The converted textile-era properties in Gaston, Cabarrus and Rowan counties, and older buildings in Gastonia, Hickory and Statesville, typically run 18 to 24 foot clear with tight column grids. Selective pallet racking in these buildings needs shorter frames, deliberate beam spacing and layouts that respect columns and dock positions, because the building determines what is practical.

Newer 32 to 40 foot clear bulk warehouses around Charlotte Douglas, the Southwest and Steele Creek corridor along Westinghouse Boulevard, York County and the I-77 North corridor through Huntersville allow tall frames with beam levels set by load dimensions and lift-truck reach. Union County along US-74 through Matthews, Indian Trail and Monroe adds a mix of newer and older space between those two extremes, and each building group gets a very different rack plan.

Drive-In Rack and Pushback Rack for Grocery Cold Storage

Grocery and food and beverage distributors with cooler and freezer space need density with controlled rotation. Drive-in rack fits large matching batches where dense lanes outweigh immediate access to every pallet, and lane depth follows normal inventory so the system performs daily.

Pushback rack stores pallets several deep on nested carts from one aisle, cutting aisle count for retail and 3PL distribution centers holding several pallets per SKU. Where first-in, first-out rotation matters, pallet flow rack feeds pallets to a separate pick face, with rollers and braking chosen around pallet style, weight and temperature.

Industrial Shelving and Carton Flow Rack for Auto Parts and Motorsports

The motorsports supplier cluster around Mooresville and Concord, and auto-parts operations across the metro, hold hand-loaded components that belong on industrial shelving rather than in pallet positions. Shelf depth follows the item, heavier parts get dedicated sections, and cart aisles stay open beside the runs.

E-commerce operations and furniture component distributors from the Hickory and Catawba Valley area pick cases constantly. Carton flow rack gives pickers a replenishing case face while restocking happens from behind, with track spacing and pitch following your cartons and fast movers landing within easy reach.

Modular Offices, Mezzanines and Wire Partitions for Support Space

Hot, humid summers in mostly non-air-conditioned buildings make an air-conditioned modular office a practical addition for supervisors and shipping staff. We plan wall runs, doors and viewing windows around daily movement. Mezzanines add elevated work or storage area where building height and loading allow it, with stairs and material transfer in the first drawing.

Shared 3PL space and higher-value inventory call for separation. Wire partitions create controlled-access enclosures, with door widths matched to whether staff carry cartons or move pallet loads through the opening.

Scheduling Built Into Every Charlotte Project

Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. has supplied and installed warehouse equipment since 1997, and racking, offices, mezzanines, shelving and partitions can all be coordinated in one project. Installation is handled by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. Summer heat shapes crew scheduling and staging, and tropical-storm remnants bring heavy rain and wind that can affect delivery timing, so we build that into the schedule.

Your quote identifies equipment, layout assumptions and installation scope, with rack anchored to the floor. Two intermodal terminals and the Charlotte Inland Port keep import and regional freight moving through the metro, which is why so many buildings here run high-turn distribution layouts. To request a project quote, share load weights, pallet dimensions, building measurements, forklift details and any areas that must stay operational during installation.
