Mixed Pallet Rack Delivery for Warehouse Expansion

Location: Atlanta, GA
Date: December 6, 2023
Project Type: Material Delivery for Scheduled Expansion

Client Background

A warehouse operation in Atlanta, GA was preparing for a scheduled expansion to increase pallet storage capacity and improve inbound product handling. The facility required new pallet rack components staged for immediate installation to maintain continuity between material reception and deployment activities. The customer’s goal was to minimize lead time, avoid workflow disruption, and ensure system scalability as operational demands increased.

Project Overview

This project involved delivering structurally matched pallet rack components to support the customer’s upcoming expansion. The shipment needed to arrive organized, labeled, and ready for direct installation. Timing was critical, as the expansion work needed to align with ongoing warehouse operations to maintain schedule integrity.

Project Challenges

1. Material delivery scheduling needed to coordinate with the customer’s installation timeline to prevent operational delays.

2. Components had to be staged in a manner that reduced handling time and avoided congestion during installation processes.

3. The solution needed to provide structural performance while remaining cost‑effective and scalable for long‑term use.

4. Delivery integrity had to be maintained to prevent damage or misalignment of structural components during transport.

Solution and System Implementation

Bogardus delivered a mixed set of pallet rack components including:

• Eight‑foot beams

• Twenty‑foot uprights

• New 42 x 46 inch wire decks

The materials were selected based on load capacity, scalability, and compatibility with the customer’s established rack layout. Every pallet of material was staged in organized groupings, allowing installation crews to transition directly from offload to assembly without re‑sorting or spatial realignment.

Results and Outcomes

• All rack components arrived fully staged and ready for immediate installation.

• The customer remained on schedule with expansion activities, with no delays caused by material handling or disorganization.

• The materials provided a cost‑balanced combination of strength and long‑term scalability.

• The shipment supported a streamlined installation workflow, improving resource efficiency and minimizing operational disruption.

Long‑Term Impact

The delivered components allowed the warehouse to expand capacity while maintaining structural consistency with existing storage infrastructure. The increased vertical storage potential and organized staging improved the facility’s ability to scale future inventory levels without redesigning layout structures or sourcing additional materials. The delivery strategy reduced installation time and supported efficient activation of the expansion area.
