Boston warehouses around Newmarket Square and the South Boston waterfront often have more pressure on floor space than on inventory demand. Across the I-93 and Route 128 corridors, the right storage choice also depends on your dock schedule, building columns and how many products must remain immediately accessible. Before you order steel, compare a layout against your actual pallet or case list. Our free design consultation gives you a place to start: available positions, usable aisle widths and a scope you can discuss with your operations lead. Call the existing Boston number to work through those decisions. Selective pallet rack is single-deep steel: an aisle on each side, direct access to every pallet on the row. It's the system most warehouses run because it trades storage density for something more valuable once SKU counts climb - a driver never has to move one pallet to get at another. It earns its keep when inventory is mixed, picking happens straight off the rack face, or you simply don't hold enough of any one item to justify a deeper system. The tradeoff is real: selective racking spends floor space on aisles that pushback or drive-in would give back to storage. We size industrial pallet racks to your heaviest pallet, your lift truck's reach, and the clear height you're already leasing, then hand back a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote - so you know what you're buying before steel ships. (617) 404-1171 ## Why Boston Warehouses Work With Us From Newmarket Square and the South Boston waterfront to the I-93 and Route 128 corridors, a pallet rack plan needs to match the building you operate in. Boston receiving yards can leave little room to stage steel, and an older floor plan may hide columns, low overhead services or narrow dock approaches. We review those constraints with the load dimensions and your busiest working day before suggesting a configuration. The objective is usable storage and a clear handling route, not simply more components on a drawing. Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. is the business behind this Boston contact. Your free design consultation brings the rack options, CAD layout and itemized scope into one discussion. We explain where direct access matters, where depth is useful, and which loads need a different support arrangement. Delivery and installation responsibilities are established before work starts. Our team handles the permit side for you. ## How Pallet Rack Works 1 ### Frames and beams Roll-formed or structural upright frames carry pairs of load beams across the aisle. Beam length, frame depth, and steel gauge follow your heaviest pallet, not a catalog default. 2 ### One position, one pallet Each pallet sits on a beam level facing the aisle. Nothing gets moved to reach anything else, which is the entire point of paying for two aisles instead of one. 3 ### Beam elevations to the ceiling Levels extend from the floor to the usable clear height, so the design uses height you're already renting instead of leaving it empty. 4 ### Decking, guarding, protection Wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding get specified in the same layout instead of tacked on later as an afterthought.

That's what sets beam capacity and how many levels the building will actually carry. From there our design team draws pallet positions, beam elevations, and aisle centerlines in CAD, then prices every line so you see cost per pallet position instead of a lump sum. That number is what lets you compare selective against pushback or drive-in honestly - selective usually costs less per position to build but more per position in floor space. Delivery is coordinated around your dock schedule and the agreed installation sequence. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install frames anchored to the floor, hang decking, and tag capacities on the finished rows. What you're left with is racking that matches how the building runs, load-rating documentation your team can post, and one number to call when you're adding a row next spring. Before finalizing the Boston installation plan, we review receiving access, rack protection and usable clear height. Our team handles the permit side for you. The agreed scope identifies installation responsibilities, delivery timing and any work by other trades, so your operations team can prepare the space before the steel arrives. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Warehouse Racking Systems Image: Warehouse racking aisle stacked with multiple beam levels (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/pallet-rack-hero-Bx52nYZg.jpg) ## Get a Pallet Rack Quote Send the basics and we will come back with a layout and pricing.
