Warehouse Racking & Storage Systems in Kansas City

Warehouse Racking at a Freight Crossroads

I-70, I-35, I-29 and I-49 meet here, with I-435, I-470 and I-635 circling the metro. BNSF, Union Pacific, CPKC and Norfolk Southern make Kansas City one of the country's largest rail hubs, and KCI adds air cargo.

That central position puts much of the U.S. within a day or two by truck, which is why so many national and regional distribution centers locate here.

Which Warehouse Racking System Fits Which Building

Buildings in this metro range from brand-new bulk boxes to limestone caves, and each calls for a different approach.

Pallet Racks and Other Products Matched to Local Industries

Food & beverage and grocery distributors drive strong cold-storage demand. Pallet flow rack rotates dated goods first-in, first-out, and drive-in rack packs freezers where every square foot is costly to chill.

3PL and e-commerce fulfillment in the intermodal parks pick cases and single units around the clock. Carton flow rack shortens pick paths, and wire partitions keep each client's inventory separate.

Auto and truck parts, building products, and agriculture-related and animal health suppliers rely on heavy selective rack plus steel shelving. Light manufacturers in Johnson County and KCK add modular offices for supervisors and inspection labs.

Across the Metro

We work throughout the region, from Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee and Overland Park to Belton, Gladstone and Liberty in the Northland, Bonner Springs and Leavenworth to the west, and Blue Springs and Lee's Summit to the east.

Weather and Install Planning

Hot, humid summers and cold winters affect crews in unconditioned buildings, so we schedule and stage materials around the season. Spring severe-storm and tornado season can delay freight, and schedules allow for it.

Underground parks keep steady conditions year-round, though deliveries still depend on surface weather. Our team handles the permit side for you.

A Single Contact for the Full Project

Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. has supplied and installed warehouse equipment since 1997, and one project with us can include the racking, offices, mezzanines, shelving and partitions.

Order of work matters: offices go in before rack rows close around them, and deck stairs must land where aisles allow. Coordinating all of it avoids rework.

Each project begins with a walk-through of clear height, column or pillar spacing, dock doors, the loads you receive and where volume is headed. Send your address, products and forklift type to get a layout started.

Getting Started

Most projects begin with a phone call to (888) 850-7225 and a site visit. From there we prepare a layout drawing, walk through options with you, and quote the full scope so there are no surprises later.
