Rack Supported Structures

Other Rack Supported Structures

Almost any new warehouse designed for high density storage can be designed and built as a rack supported building. Comparisons of rack-supported vs. conventional buildings consistently favor rack supported with regards to maximizing storage and lowering SF construction costs.

Rack supported structures:

• Utilize less floor space
• Have a lower initial investment
• Allows greater asset depreciation per year
• Can be structurally superior due to the loads spread across multiple frames
• Have shorter construction schedules

Other applications include but are not limited to:

• Small stand-alone storage buildings
• Simple pallet racks with cantilevered roof
• Custom designed systems
• See our mezzanines page, for illustrations of mezzanines utilizing pallet racks as support structure.
