How to Move Pallet Racks to Another Warehouse

Relocating pallet racks to a new facility in the Inland Empire can be a strategic move whether you’re expanding, consolidating, or simply optimizing operations. However, moving racking systems isn’t as simple as loading them onto a truck. It requires precise planning, code-compliant layout design, professional handling, and close attention to safety regulations. Here’s how we handle the entire process from start to finish to ensure a smooth transition.

1. Planning Your New Layout

Before a single bolt is removed, we begin by measuring the new warehouse space. Every detail matters from clear height and dock door placements to column spacing and exit pathways. Using this data, we create a custom racking layout that meets your storage needs while adhering to local permitting standards. Even within the Inland Empire, each city may have slightly different fire clearance or seismic requirements, so this step ensures compliance right from the start.

2. Safe Disassembly and Transport

Once the new layout is approved, we begin disassembling the pallet racks at your current site. Our team carefully removes each upright, beam, and safety component to avoid any damage during transit. Coordinating transportation logistics is key we schedule the right-sized trucks, handle strapping and protection, and manage delivery to your new warehouse to prevent downtime.

3. Professional Reassembly at the New Site

At your new Inland Empire facility, our install crew follows the pre-approved layout to reassemble the pallet racking system. We anchor and level every upright, ensure consistent beam spacing, and install necessary accessories like wire decking and rack protectors. Our installations are handled with precision to ensure structural integrity and permit-readiness.

4. Post-Install Support and Inspections

Our service doesn’t stop when the last beam is bolted in. We offer complimentary rack inspections every couple of months to ensure long-term safety and performance. These checks help catch any potential damage from forklift impacts or shifting loads and they keep your team and inventory protected.
