Will our old Akron rack fit a taller building?

Often, with changes. Frame height, beam size and load ratings decide how many levels you can add. We measure the new clear height and check your pallet weights before recommending extra levels.

Can you match rack that is no longer made?

Sometimes. We identify the manufacturer and profile, then look for compatible beams and frames. If matching is impractical, we lay out new rows separately so mixed parts never share a bay.

How do you handle heavy rubber and polymer loads during a move?

Inventory comes out before teardown and is staged on the floor or in a working section. Beams are then rechecked against those load weights for the new layout.

Do you work in older Akron factory buildings?

Yes. Tight columns and lower clear heights are routine for us. The drawing for each building accounts for column lines, door locations and forklift turning room.

A warehouse relocation in Akron is mostly a question of what your old rack can still do in a new room. Rubber and polymer plants near Kenmore tend to run heavy drums, bales and resin bags, and the frames holding them have often taken years of forklift contact.

So we start at the uprights. Each one gets checked for plumb, bent bracing and base plate damage before anyone talks about trucks or move dates.

Pallet Rack Relocation Out of Akron Factory Space

Plenty of Akron product sits in older single-story and multi-story factory buildings with 14 to 24 foot clear heights. Moving into newer space off I-77 or SR-8 can change the math completely. Frames that maxed out at three levels may support four or five, if the beams are the right size and the loads are confirmed.

Our crews work under a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a rack supplier and installer going back to 1997. That background helps when an old system turns out to be a discontinued teardrop style and matching beams have to be sourced before reinstall day.

A pallet rack relocation from a plant like this is rarely a straight copy. Old rows were often squeezed between crane bays and press lines, and the new building usually rewards a cleaner grid with longer runs.

Akron Corridors and Load-Out Planning

Between Kenmore, the I-76 interchange and the Akron-Canton Airport area, short hauls are common, which lets crews shuttle bundled frames in several runs instead of one oversized load. Winter moves need dry staging space at both ends so beams are not left sitting in slush.

How an Akron Rack Relocation Runs

Four stages, each finished and signed off before the next begins. Skipping one is how parts go missing between buildings.

Condition audit

Inspect every upright, beam and connector. Tag anything bent, cracked or rusted through for replacement so it never reaches the new floor.

Destination drawing

Produce a layout for the new building showing aisle widths, row lengths and pallet positions, matched to your truck sizes and forklift reach.

Phased teardown

Pull rows in the order the drawing calls for, keeping one working section loaded so shipping continues while the move is under way.

Rebuild and match

Reinstall, anchor and add any new frames or beams needed to fill the layout, matched to the existing profile and capacity.

Warehouse Relocation Scope for Akron Plants

Most Akron jobs mix reused rack with some new material. We price the two separately so you can see exactly what reuse is saving and where replacement is unavoidable.

Heavy polymer loads make beam selection matter. If the new layout runs taller bays, we recheck beam capacity against your real pallet weights rather than assuming the old rating still applies at the new elevation.

Inventory has to land somewhere during the gap. We help plan temporary floor staging and the sequence that empties one zone just before its rack is rebuilt across town.

When the rack relocation wraps up, you get an as-built drawing with position counts. Future additions then start from a record of what is really standing on the floor.
