Fully Permitted Racking Installation – Jacksonville, FL

Engineered Pallet Rack System
Date: July 16, 2025

Project Scope

This project required a fully engineered and code-compliant pallet rack system serving a growing distribution facility in Jacksonville, Florida. The customer needed rack layout approval through municipal permitting, including reviewed engineering drawings and load certifications. Because the facility was operating daily forklift logistics, the rack design needed to support efficient traffic flow, maximized pallet density, and long-term safety compliance.

Solution

Bogardus delivered a turnkey engineered solution that included full design, permitting preparation, and field installation. The system consisted of 20' uprights paired with 8' and 12' load beams supported by full wire decking throughout. Engineering drawings were prepared and coordinated for submission along with load calculations verifying structural capacity. All required municipal documents were supplied, and the final system installation was executed on schedule. Bogardus maintained alignment with the intended forklift circulation paths while ensuring compliant clearances and seismic load requirements.

Outcome

The customer received a code-certified pallet rack system supported by complete structural documentation and engineering review. The upgraded warehouse achieved significantly expanded pallet density, long-term storage reliability, and uninterrupted forklift access throughout each aisle. With permitting and engineering fully managed, the project eliminated administrative burden for the customer while delivering a structurally validated system designed for operational performance and regulatory compliance.

Time‑Sensitive Pallet Rack Installation Using Used Inventory

Location: Louisville, KY
Date: July 2, 2025
Project Type: Accelerated Deployment with Used Materials to Prevent Operational Downtime

Client Background

A warehouse in Louisville, KY required a complete pallet rack system installed under urgent conditions. Existing operational commitments left no flexibility for delays, and the customer needed reliable storage capacity immediately. Leveraging used components allowed the project to be completed rapidly without compromising system stability.

Project Overview

The goal of this installation was to deploy a structurally sound pallet rack system using available used uprights and beams. The installation had to be completed on a compressed schedule to prevent workflow interruptions and enable immediate warehouse utilization.

Project Challenges

1. Installation timing was critical to preventing downtime in warehouse operations.

2. Used materials needed to be inspected and integrated to deliver reliable structural performance.

3. System elevation and alignment required precision to support safe forklift movement.

4. Staging and installation sequence had to be optimized to meet the accelerated timeline.

Solution and System Implementation

Bogardus executed the project using:

• Twenty‑eight foot uprights

• Twelve‑foot beams

• Full wire decking coverage

Work included upright anchoring, beam leveling, deck placement, and layout optimization to maintain safe travel lanes. Labor sequencing and material staging were coordinated to support completion ahead of schedule.

Results and Outcomes

• The pallet rack system was installed ahead of the required timeline.

• Warehouse downtime was minimized, allowing operations to resume immediately.

• Used materials delivered reliable load capacity while reducing sourcing delays.

• The customer retained full operational continuity with no disruption to inbound or outbound handling.

Long‑Term Impact

The system provided dependable pallet storage and workflow efficiency while leveraging available materials to meet time‑critical needs. The installation positioned the facility for sustained operational performance without delays or additional layout adjustments.
