Turnkey Used Pallet Rack System Deployment

Location: Kendall, FL
Date: March 22, 2023
Project Type: Rapid Cost‑Efficient Warehouse Storage Installation

Client Background

A warehouse operator in Kendall, FL required a fast and cost‑efficient storage solution to support immediate operational activity. The client sought to avoid delays associated with sourcing new materials while gaining vertical storage capacity and maintaining safety compliance. Operational timelines and cost structure were key priorities, driving the need for an optimized used pallet rack installation that could be executed with minimal preparation.

Project Overview

The customer requested a complete turnkey pallet rack storage system using used materials to accelerate deployment while reducing overall project cost. The solution needed to provide dependable structural performance, allow safe elevated access, and enable efficient product handling. Additionally, the customer required a fully operational configuration within a single day to support inbound inventory.

Project Challenges

1. The solution needed to utilize used pallet rack materials while maintaining structural reliability and load integrity.

2. Scheduling constraints required installation to be completed the same day as material delivery.

3. Vertical accessibility and worker safety needed to be ensured through integrated access systems.

4. Material staging and system configuration needed to support immediate warehouse utilization without extensive pre‑installation downtime.

Solution and System Implementation

Bogardus provided and installed a comprehensive used pallet rack system designed for immediate activation. Components included:

• 16‑foot uprights

• 8‑foot beams

• 42 x 48 inch wire decks

• Integrated security gate systems

• Rolling ladder access points for safe elevated work and picking

The system was installed using phased sequencing, maintaining clear forklift travel lanes and operational staging areas during deployment. Components were inspected and configured to ensure stability, consistent beam elevations, and appropriate load distribution.

Results and Outcomes

• The warehouse became fully operational the same day installation was completed.

• Immediate vertical storage capacity was achieved without extended deployment lead times.

• Safety conditions improved due to the integration of access ladders and protective gate systems.

• The use of used rack materials reduced total project cost while maintaining functional performance.

Long‑Term Impact

The turnkey installation enabled the customer to scale active warehouse operations rapidly without capital expenditures associated with new rack systems or delays in procurement. The safety and access features integrated into the system supported ongoing handling efficiency, while the structural configuration allowed the warehouse to process product flows more effectively from the first day of operation.

Full Rack Package Delivery with Equipment Support

Location: Naples, FL
Date: March 15, 2023
Project Type: Material Delivery and Operational Readiness Support

Client Background

A warehouse operation in Naples, FL required complete pallet rack material and supporting equipment to accelerate initial deployment. The customer was preparing for a rapid go‑live date and needed material delivered in a staged configuration that would support immediate installation. The facility depended on reliable rack supply and equipment availability to avoid delays and maintain alignment with its operational ramp‑up schedule.

Project Overview

This project involved supplying all rack materials necessary to establish the warehouse’s racking footprint, while also providing equipment to enable same‑day installation readiness. The objective was to ensure the customer could transition from material delivery to system assembly without downtime, labor inefficiency, or logistical sequencing delays.

Project Challenges

1. The customer required all components delivered in a pre‑organized configuration to expedite installation.

2. Material volume needed to be staged in a controlled manner to prevent congestion or handling inefficiencies.

3. Equipment support was essential to avoid delayed startup caused by third‑party equipment sourcing or rental coordination.

4. Delivery verification and staging sequencing had to be executed with precision to preserve workflow continuity for installers.

Solution and System Implementation

Bogardus supplied and delivered a full rack material package, which included:

• 42 x 46 inch wire decks

• 96 inch beams

• 96 x 48 inch decks

• Safety pallet stops configured for secure load handling

To support immediate operational readiness, the delivery also included a forklift unit, ensuring installation crews could begin assembly without delays, rental commitments, or equipment sourcing challenges.

All components arrived staged and organized for efficient handling, allowing site personnel to transition directly into system assembly without re‑sorting or preparing materials for installation.

Results and Outcomes

• The customer was able to begin pallet rack installation activities immediately upon delivery without additional preparation.

• Warehouse deployment timelines were accelerated due to pre‑staged rack components and on‑site equipment availability.

• No delays were incurred due to material organization or forklift availability.

• Installation was executed efficiently, improving overall facility readiness and inbound product acceptance.

Long‑Term Impact

By enabling same‑day installation with fully staged material and on‑site equipment, the customer avoided common deployment setbacks and established a reliable foundation for continued warehouse expansion. The forklift support eliminated the need for external sourcing or rentals, reducing cost pressures and logistical uncertainty while ensuring uninterrupted progress toward operational activation.
