Pallet Racks in Plainwell, MI

Plainwell is about 12 miles north on US-131, with a full interchange inside city limits. Kalamazoo is 10 miles south and Grand Rapids about 35 miles north.

A lot of the space here is small: flex office/warehouse units for small manufacturers and contractors. Low ceilings change what rack makes sense.

Smaller flex units in the Plainwell Industrial Park have about 13 ft clear and grade-level doors. That height supports one beam level over the floor for standard pallets, or several shelf levels for hand-loaded stock.

Low-profile selective pallet rack and shelving-style rack with wire decks fit these units well. Many tenants mix both.

The park on Industrial Parkway is a Michigan Certified Business Park with access from US-131 and M-89.

Grade-level doors usually mean smaller lift equipment, so aisle widths follow the truck you have, often a pallet jack or compact forklift.

When floor space runs out in a low building, a mezzanine can double usable area for light goods. We plan rack rows so a mezzanine can sit over them later without moving the rack.

Legacy paper-mill and factory buildings in and around Plainwell can offer more height; we measure each one.

Plainwell and Otsego both have legacy paper-mill and factory buildings. Ceilings and column spacing in these vary from bay to bay, often because sections were added over decades.

We measure each section separately and may use different frame heights in different rooms. Rows are placed around columns so posts sit in flue spaces.

These buildings can hold far more than the flex units in the industrial park, if the layout respects their quirks.

Contractors store long material and bulky tools. A short run of cantilever along one wall handles pipe, conduit and lumber.

Small manufacturers often need raw material at one door and finished goods at the other.
