HUNTSVILLE PALLET RACK
Pallet Rack & Warehouse Racking in Huntsville, AL
New rack. A workable layout. Room for the next load. We plan, quote, supply and install pallet rack around your pallet sizes, beam loads, forklift reach and daily movements.
THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR THE LOAD
Six systems. Different storage jobs.
Selective Pallet Rack
Direct access to each pallet for general distribution, parts stores and changing inventory.
Pushback Rack
Several pallets per lane, loaded and retrieved from one aisle for dense reserve storage.
Pallet Flow Rack
Gravity-fed lanes with separate loading and retrieval faces for first-in, first-out stock.
Drive-In Rack
Deep pallet lanes for large quantities of the same item in bulk and cold-storage areas.
Cantilever Rack
Open-front storage for lumber, pipe, metal stock and long building materials.
Carton Flow Rack
Gravity-fed carton and tote lanes for repeat picking and separate replenishment.
Different buildings need different rack plans
A 32–36 ft clear distribution building at Huntsville West or Greenbrier Parkway is not the same storage job as an older, lower-clear warehouse in Chase Industrial Park or Jetplex. We start with the available height, the load and the forklift. Then we draw beam levels, aisles, turns and staging areas that belong in that building.
Selective pallet rack gives direct access to individual pallets. Pushback and pallet flow suit repeated pallet groups when stock rotation supports lane storage. Drive-in concentrates large batches of one item. Cantilever supports long materials, and carton flow brings cases or totes to a picking face.
Storage around the I-565 freight corridor
Jetplex Industrial Park and the International Intermodal Center at the Port of Huntsville connect airport cargo, container freight and Norfolk Southern rail. Nearby 3PL warehouses can carry mixed import loads with different pallet dimensions. Separate reserve storage, checking areas and outbound staging before calculating the number of pallet positions.
SouthPoint at I-65 and I-565, Madison and Athens serve the automotive assembly plant and its supplier base. JIT inventory and frequent re-slotting call for layouts that reflect pallets per item and changing model programs. Aerospace and defense work near Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park brings another pattern: secure parts, MRO shelving and pallet storage within mixed office, lab and warehouse buildings.
An installation sequence, not just a rack drawing
Huntsville's hot, humid summers matter inside non-air-conditioned warehouses. Plan unloading, crew staging and the working areas around that condition. North Alabama's active spring and late-fall storm seasons also make a defined staging sequence worth agreeing before work begins.
Send a building sketch, pallet dimensions and weights, forklift details and the inventory groups that move most often. We can discuss the rack arrangement, receiving space and installation sequence together. If your operation is moving, the destination layout should guide the warehouse relocation plan before loads start changing buildings.

Warehouse Racking Questions
Which rack fits a new Greenbrier distribution building?
Clear height alone does not choose the system. Start with pallets per item, rotation, loaded weights and forklift reach. Tall selective rack may serve mixed inventory; flow or pushback can serve repeated groups.
How do you plan aerospace parts storage near Redstone Arsenal?
We separate pallet positions from smaller parts and MRO shelving. Tell us which areas need wire partitions and how replenishment reaches them within the mixed office, lab and warehouse space.
What should we prepare before a Huntsville warehouse consultation?
Gather a building drawing, pallet sizes and weights, inventory quantities and forklift details. Mark docks, receiving areas and any work that needs to remain active during installation.
