Should molded parts use selective or drive-in rack?

Selective teardrop rack serves many part numbers with individual access. Drive-in serves large production lots with few products; the quantities you hold determine which arrangement fits.

How much weight can a rack level hold?

Its beam pair has a specific per-level rating, and the frame has a separate rating based on height and beam spacing. We use the heaviest loaded pallet to select both and show the capacities on load plaques.

What sets the cost of pallet racks in Sturgis?

Pallet positions, rack height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation determine the quote. Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and itemized quote.

Can additional bays match the rack we have?

Usually, with a confirmed connector match. Send upright-face, beam-connector and label photographs, because one manufacturer’s teardrop connection may not match another’s.

Pallet Racks in Sturgis, MI

We design, quote and install new pallet racks in Sturgis for molded parts, components and finished goods. Our warehouse racking plans give mixed part numbers direct access and bulk production runs deeper storage. Sturgis is about 35 miles south, roughly a mile from the I-80/90 Indiana Toll Road at the M-66 interchange. US-12 and M-66 run through the city.

Its manufacturers ship molded parts and components south over the state line, and they store a lot of both before the trucks leave.

Rail and Air at the Industrial Parks

Several Sturgis industrial buildings have Michigan Southern Railroad service, and Kirsch Municipal Airport sits beside two parks. Rail-served plants can bring resin or raw stock in bulk.

Bulk raw material in uniform lots stores well in drive-in or deep floor lanes near the rail door. Molded output goes to pallet racks closer to shipping.

Splitting storage by direction of travel keeps forklifts from crossing paths on busy days.

Pallet Racks for Sturgis Molded Parts

Molded parts usually ship in totes or gaylords on pallets, with many part numbers. Selective pallet rack keeps every one reachable.

Light but tall loads fill beam levels by height. We set pallet rack elevations from the tallest container you use.

Warehouse Racking for the Four Industrial Parks

The city has four industrial parks: Airport, Bullard, Stapleton and Dresser. Bullard still has sites available.

Kirsch Municipal Airport, with a 5,200 ft primary runway, sits next to two of the parks. The Michigan Southern Railroad serves several industrial buildings.

Drive-In Pallet Rack for Components in Bulk

Components made in long runs and shipped in full truckloads store well in drive-in rack. Lanes hold one part number each, deep, with no aisle between pallets.

We match lane depth to run size so lanes empty out cleanly between production runs.

Loading for the Toll Road

With the Toll Road a mile away, many plants ship daily. Pallet racking behind staging lanes holds finished goods while the dock lanes hold the next day's loads.

Winter installs are planned around the weather, and our team keeps your docks open during the work.
