Once you decide on which pallet rack system you need — whether it’s our proprietary K3 Werks racks or one of the many fine pallet rack manufacturers we offer — there’s another very important step that you can’t forget about: installation. After all, pallet racks that arrive at your doorstep aren’t at all useful until they’re erected, so it’s very important that you choose [...]
Whether you’re building a new warehouse or retrofitting an old one, you don’t want to let the opportunity pass you by when it comes to warehouse optimization.

When you order industrial pallet racks after creating the perfect warehouse strategy plan, there’s something you don’t want to forget: wire decking.

Unfortunately, eyeballing it can be completely useless. And just putting the new ones where the old ones were? You’re squandering an excellent opportunity to improve your warehouse’s efficiency. When it’s time to get new pallet [...]
