Selective and pallet flow. Call (269) 390-9036." lang: en --- Image: Warehouse racking for Kentwood, MI (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/assets/hero-location-DSM_BmzI.jpg) # Pallet Racking in Kentwood, MI We plan, quote and install new pallet racks in Kentwood for airport-area distributors and manufacturing warehouses. Our warehouse racking layouts match each suite’s clear height and keep quick-ship stock near the doors. Kentwood is about 45 miles north, on the southeast edge of the Grand Rapids area. Manufacturing makes up about a quarter of local jobs, with wholesale trade, distribution and agribusiness in the mix. Gerald R. Ford International Airport is less than five miles east, which pulls in distribution users who want quick access to air freight. (269) 390-9036: 2693909036 ## Distribution Near Gerald R. Ford Airport Distributors near the airport often handle smaller, time-sensitive shipments alongside regular pallet freight. That mix means a pick zone near the doors and a reserve zone behind it. Pallet racks give reserve storage access to every load. A short block of flow lanes or carton flow handles the quick-ship items, so pickers are not walking deep into the building for every order. In reused 36th Street space, door placement is fixed, so the pick zone goes wherever the doors are and the rack plan follows. ## Pallet Racking for Kentwood’s Converted Campuses Older former-headquarters manufacturing campuses on 36th Street SE have been turned into multi-tenant warehouse space with ceilings anywhere from 22 to 32 ft. One tenant's suite might allow four beam levels; the next one over, five or six. We measure each suite separately. A pallet racking design copied from one bay to the next can leave a full level unused or, worse, crowd the lights. ## Pallet Racks and Pallet Flow for Different Ceiling Heights In the 22–24 ft areas, selective pallet rack (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack) at three or four levels keeps access simple. In the taller 30–32 ft sections, an extra level or two makes a reach truck worth the investment. For distribution of dated goods, pallet flow (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack) lanes turn product in order. Airport-adjacent distributors with steady case volume often add a flow block next to shipping. - 22–24 ft: three or four levels - 30–32 ft: five or six levels - Flow lanes near outbound doors ## Warehouse Racking for Patterson Industrial Site Buildings The Patterson Industrial Site, bounded by Patterson Ave, Broadmoor Ave/M-37 and 52nd St, is the city's industrial-zoned growth area. New buildings there can get pallet rack systems planned in parallel with construction. Send floor plans as early as you have them. Dock count and column spacing decide the layout more than anything else. ## Agribusiness and Wholesale Storage Agribusiness and wholesale users bring seasonal swings. Pallet racks sized only for the average month run out of room at peak. We plan for peak and show how many positions sit empty the rest of the year so you can decide. If you are moving between Kentwood suites, we can relocate your rack (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) and redraw it to suit the next suite. ## Racking Systems for Kentwood ### Selective Pallet Rack Every pallet reachable from the aisle.
