MCDONOUGH PALLET RACK

# Pallet Racks in Stonecrest, GA

Stonecrest pallet rack planning serves infill I-20 East distribution with a rail-connected long-goods angle.

## The Stonecrest warehouse setting

Lithonia Industrial Boulevard and Stonecrest Industrial Way form the local industrial area in DeKalb County, east of I-285. McDonough Pallet Rack lays out new selective and cantilever storage around the materials entering the building and the equipment moving them.

Swift Creek Logistics Center is a 1.9-million-square-foot, three-building park about four miles from I-20 and ten miles from I-285. Larger park totals do not determine an individual tenant’s rack requirement. We serve Stonecrest about twenty-seven miles from McDonough, starting with load dimensions, quantities and access rather than a generic storage grid.

## Rail-fed material needs a continuous handling route

A roughly 615,000 square foot rail-served distribution center in this market is fed directly from the CSX main line, with box-car positions inside the building and outside storage yards. That arrangement gives receiving a different starting point from a conventional truck-door-only warehouse. Show where loads leave the rail receiving area, where they are checked and how they reach their assigned storage zone.

Building materials and long goods can need more turning room than boxed pallet loads. Measure the longest handled bundle and its width, then compare its movement with the equipment used to carry it. An outdoor storage zone and an indoor rack block should have an identifiable transfer path. Do not assume that an aisle adequate for a standard pallet also accommodates an extended material bundle entering from rail-side receiving.

## Cantilever support for long-goods distribution

Cantilever rack provides open-front storage for lumber, pipe and building materials that do not fit naturally between pallet-rack uprights. Arm spacing follows the load length and required support pattern, while the arm and column schedule follows the supported weight. Bundles spanning several arms need a defined arrangement; the rating of one arm is not a rating for every possible bundle placement.

For an outdoor rack area, specify the intended storage setting and material handling as part of the scope. Keep long-load positions distinct from standard pallet reserve so the warehouse does not have to improvise support points. The storage drawing should identify each material family and its route from receiving. Palletized building products can remain in selective bays nearby, with beam spans matched to their own load dimensions.

## Selective rack for the infill distribution footprint

Stonecrest’s I-20 East location supports reserve storage for varied distribution stock alongside rail-fed material. Selective pallet rack gives each stock line direct access and can keep smaller quantities from occupying a deep lane. Measure usable clear height at the particular tenant space before setting beam elevations. The truck’s loaded reach and the tallest pallet family determine the upper positions, not a park-wide assumption.

Draw doors, suite limits and cross-aisles together with the reserve rows. Infill operations need an aisle plan that works with their actual access points rather than a copied big-box layout. Beam capacities should be identified by span and supported load. Include carton overhang or irregular pallet widths in the turn calculation, particularly where pallet traffic meets long-material handling at row ends.

## Installing separate pallet and long-load zones

A Stonecrest installation can release selective and cantilever areas in a sequence tied to inventory transfer. Rack-material staging should remain outside rail receiving and the long-load travel route. Georgia heat affects crews working in non-air-conditioned buildings, and seasonal thunderstorms influence outdoor unloading coordination. Mark the work zones before material arrives so outside storage does not become an uncontrolled staging area for every part of the project.

When relocating into Lithonia Industrial Boulevard or Stonecrest Industrial Way space, confirm the destination receiving arrangement and usable height before rack teardown. Long-material transfer needs a handling plan distinct from standard pallet moves. Send building and yard drawings, bundle lengths, load weights, pallet dimensions and equipment details to McDonough Pallet Rack. A warehouse consultation can then define new selective rack, cantilever supports and installation scope with the rail-to-storage route included in the layout.

## Storage systems for the working load

Compare pallet rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack), pushback rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/pushback-rack), pallet flow rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack), drive-in rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/drive-in-rack), cantilever rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/cantilever-rack), carton flow rack (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/products/carton-flow-rack) by pallet access, stock rotation and the dimensions of the handled item. For a move into Stonecrest, our warehouse relocation service (https://mcdonoughpalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) starts with the destination layout.
