MCDONOUGH PALLET RACK
Pallet Rack in McDonough, GA
Selective pallet rack is the starting point for general distribution when each stock line needs individual access. Around GA-155 at I-75 Exit 216, GA-20 at Exit 218 and King Mill Road, the storage plan needs to connect receiving, reserve and dispatch without treating every open strip as another rack aisle.
A rack plan around the handled load
McDonough Pallet Rack plans, supplies and installs new systems from the pallet profile and forklift specification. Westridge’s older roughly 24 ft clear stock and newer 32–40 ft bulk buildings require different beam schedules. A 36 ft clear building does not automatically mean the upper loads are reachable with the truck already on site.
Compare all six storage systems →Beam capacity starts with the supported load
Record the heaviest routine pallet, the widest footprint and the tallest loaded height. The beam pair must be specified for the supported load at its actual span; changing beam length changes the capacity discussion. Pallet supports and decking need to match the intended load arrangement rather than serve as a substitute for the beam rating.
General wholesale and auto-parts inventory can include a broad assortment with different pallet quantities. Group those loads by dimensions and weight before repeating bays across the drawing. Shorter component pallets and tall consumer-goods loads may need separate elevations, even when they share the same selective system.
Aisle widths follow the loaded forklift
Use the forklift model, attachment and load chart to check upper placement. Aisle width also has to allow a loaded turn into the bay, including carton overhang. Very-narrow-aisle or double-deep arrangements are comparisons for suitable inventory and equipment, not assumptions to build into a standard selective quote.
At King Mill Distribution Park or the Westridge Parkway area, the useful layout is one that keeps door approaches and cross-aisles connected to the work. Draw inbound staging and outbound preparation separately from rack positions. This makes the reserve capacity visible without borrowing the room needed to operate it.
Imported pallet sizes change the bay plan
Port of Savannah imports move into the Henry County corridor through I-16 and I-75. Floor-loaded containers and mixed footprints create a receiving stage before stock is ready for permanent positions. Include that buffer in the layout and measure the actual loaded pallet rather than relying on one nominal size.
Direct access helps when a distribution operation holds small quantities of many stock lines. Keep unusual footprints in designated bays with their own capacity and spacing schedule. Replenishment pallets for hand picking should have a route that does not cross every inbound load on its way to storage.
Supply, installation and a settled destination drawing
Georgia summer heat affects crews in non-air-conditioned warehouses, while spring and summer thunderstorms influence unloading coordination. Agree on rack-material staging, working doors and zone handovers before installation. The supplied drawing can show where rack is anchored to the floor without adding unrelated building-condition advice.
If the warehouse is moving into a taller Henry County building, settle the destination elevations and row direction before teardown at the old site. Label transferred components separately from new rack material. Send the building plan, pallet dimensions, weights and truck details for a warehouse consultation and an itemized quote.
