    Warehouse Equipment We Supply and Install

    Warehouse Racking for New Builds and Second-Generation Space

    Newer 32-40 ft clear bulk distribution buildings in Romulus, Taylor, Van Buren Township and Canton near Detroit Metro Airport support tall selective pallet racking with beam levels matched to load dimensions and forklift reach. We size uprights and beams to rated capacities rather than filling height for its own sake.

    Re-racking second-generation space is a big part of the work here. Older 16-24 ft clear plants and warehouses in Detroit, Warren, Dearborn, Livonia and Southfield, many re-purposed manufacturing buildings with tight column grids, need shorter frames and layouts drawn around existing columns and dock positions.

    Pushback Rack, Drive-In Rack and Pallet Flow for Auto and Food

    Automotive OEM and Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier warehouses around Dearborn, Warren, Sterling Heights, Flat Rock and Pontiac store heavy parts in volume. Pushback rack stores pallets several deep on nested carts from one aisle, and heavy auto-parts and steel loads drive beam capacity and frame selection on every layout. Drive-in rack suits large matching batches where dense lanes outweigh immediate access to every pallet.

    Grocery and food and beverage distribution needs cooler and freezer density with first-in, first-out rotation. Pallet flow rack feeds pallets to a separate pick face, with rollers and braking selected for pallet style, weight and cold temperatures.

    Carton Flow Rack and Industrial Shelving for Parts Picking

    Aftermarket auto parts and e-commerce fulfillment near the airport pick cases and components constantly. Carton flow rack presents a replenishing case face to the picker while restocking happens from the rear, with track spacing and pitch set from your actual cartons and fast movers kept within comfortable reach.

    Smaller parts, hardware and defense and advanced manufacturing inventory in Macomb County often belong on industrial shelving rather than in pallet positions. Shelf depth follows the item, heavier components get dedicated sections, and cart aisles stay clear beside the runs.

    Modular Offices, Mezzanines and Wire Partitions for Support Space

    Real winters with snow and sub-zero cold make an enclosed, insulated modular office a practical workspace 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 support it, with stairs and material transfer in the first drawing.

    Higher-value parts and shared facilities often need controlled access. Wire partitions separate restricted areas from general picking, with door widths matched to how material moves through the opening.

    Detroit Installation Planned Around Winter Conditions

    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. Snow and sub-zero cold affect cold docks, cooler and freezer builds and delivery scheduling, so install timing and staging are planned around winter weather from the start.

    Your quote identifies equipment, layout assumptions and installation scope, with rack anchored to the floor. To request a project quote, share load weights, pallet dimensions, building measurements, forklift details and any areas that must remain operational during the work.

    Pallet Rack and Warehouse Equipment FAQs

    What determines warehouse racking cost in Detroit?

    Cost depends on pallet count, load weight, rack height, storage depth and installation scope. A tall layout in a new Romulus building differs from re-racking an older Warren plant, so we compare layouts against your inventory before quoting. Send dimensions and load details for a scope-specific estimate.

    Which rack type fits heavy auto parts?

    Selective racking with beams and frames sized to your actual load weights handles most palletized parts, and pushback adds density for multiple pallets per SKU. Heavy loads drive beam capacity and frame selection, so we start from your heaviest pallets and design from there.

    Can you extend the rack we already have?

    We can evaluate an addition after reviewing your existing rack's manufacturer, connector style, dimensions and capacity information. Matching appearance alone does not establish compatibility. Send clear photos and labels with the loads you plan to store, and we identify suitable new components or recommend a separate run.

    Do you install the equipment?

    Yes. Installation is handled by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage as part of the project. We plan around your receiving hours, dock access and any areas that must keep operating, and the quote spells out the installation scope before work begins.
