What makes distribution different

Storage that has to keep up with the next contract

A distribution floor serves many products, often many clients, and changes every time a contract does.

1Every client stores something different

Pallet sizes, weights and pick rates vary from one contract to the next, so racking needs beam levels and bays that move easily.

2Pallet positions are the product

For a 3PL, more positions in the same building mean more revenue per square foot. Denser systems and taller frames are usually the first lever.

3Picking speed sets the cost

Fast movers belong at waist height, close to the dock, with flow racking or pick shelves; slow stock can go higher and deeper.

4Leases end

Racking that can be moved, re-used or sold used protects the investment when the building changes.

Questions & answers

Distribution racking FAQ

Not covered here? Ask our team directly.

or call 971-337-6608

What racking do 3PL warehouses use?

Mostly selective pallet racking, because it handles any product from any client, plus pushback, pallet flow or double-deep racking where a client stores several pallets of one product.

Can racking change when we sign a new client?

Yes. Beam levels move on the upright holes, bays can be added, and we redraw the layout and update the permit when the change needs it.

Do you sell used pallet racking for distribution centers?

Yes, when the sizes you need are available. Every quote lists new and used side by side.

Can you install while the warehouse is running?

Yes. We work in sections and around your shifts so receiving and shipping keep moving.

Do we need a permit for warehouse racking?

Often. Many cities ask for a permit for racking over 5′9″ and for high-pile storage. We prepare the drawings and file it; see permitting and code compliance.

Warehouse racking for distribution centers and 3PLs

Distribution centers and third-party logistics warehouses earn their keep from pallet positions and picking speed. Lenokers designs and installs warehouse racking for 3PL and distribution operations: selective pallet racking for the full range, pushback, pallet flow and double-deep racking for volume products, carton flow and mezzanine pick levels for order picking, new or used, with the permits filed for you.

Positions per square foot

Taller frames, narrower aisles and denser systems like pushback and double-deep racking add positions without a bigger building.

Racking that changes with contracts

Beam levels move on the upright holes and beams can be added or matched to the racking you have, so a new client means a new layout, not new racking.

Safe aisles under heavy traffic

Row-end and column guards and yearly rack inspections keep busy distribution aisles safe.
