Pallet Racking Systems

Selective, structural, and cantilever rack, installed in the field.

Pallet racking is the backbone of most warehouse operations. Our crews install to manufacturer drawings and engineer specifications, with every upright anchored to spec and every beam locked in place.

Completed selective pallet rack installation

Pallet racking is the backbone of most warehouse operations. It scales from small storage rooms to million-square-foot distribution centers, and it has to be installed plumb, level, and anchored to spec every time. Whether your project calls for selective rack for general-purpose storage, structural rack for high-impact environments, or cantilever rack for long materials, our crews install to manufacturer specifications and to the engineer\'s drawings.

Elite Rack Installations is a Louisiana-based, family-operated installer. We do not manufacture or design. We focus strictly on field execution: getting rack systems installed efficiently, safely, and to spec. Crews dispatch nationwide for projects in distribution, fulfillment, manufacturing, food and beverage, cold storage, and adjacent operations. Every install is supervised by Flavio Tierrablanca, in the rack industry since 1997.

01Selective Rack

Selective Pallet Rack Installation

Selective pallet rack is the standard warehouse storage system: vertical uprights and horizontal load beams that hold pallets on every level, with direct forklift access to every pallet. It\'s the right answer for the majority of warehouse operations: medium throughput, mixed SKU profiles, and where forklift access to individual pallets matters more than maximum cube utilization.

Our crews install selective rack from every major manufacturer, including Steel King, Interlake Mecalux, Frazier, UNARCO, and Ridg-U-Rak. We anchor every upright to manufacturer specifications, install beam locks on every connection, and verify plumb and level as we go. Single-deep, double-deep, very narrow aisle, and drive-in configurations are all routine for our crews.

For larger projects, we pre-assemble uprights on the floor before lifting, which improves frame squareness and crew safety. Beams, wire mesh decking, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle protection are part of the same install where ordered.

02Structural Rack

Structural Pallet Rack Installation

Structural pallet rack uses heavier hot-rolled or formed structural members with bolted connections instead of teardrop clips. It\'s the right choice for high-impact environments: cold storage, beverage distribution, bulk goods, automated systems, and anywhere repeated forklift contact is expected.

Our crews handle the bolt-up, layout, plumb, and anchoring required for a clean structural install. Bolted column-to-frame connections, beam-to-column splices, row spacers, base plates, and shim packs all follow the rack drawings. We have installed structural systems across the country in distribution, food and beverage, and automotive operations.

Structural rack rewards methodical execution. We work to the engineer\'s drawings, verify alignment as we go, torque connections to spec, and document the install as required by the project.

03Cantilever Systems

Cantilever Rack Installation

Cantilever rack stores long materials that do not fit on a standard pallet rack: lumber, pipe, sheet stock, structural steel, conduit, extrusions, and similar items. Single-sided and double-sided configurations are both standard for our crews.

Heavy-duty cantilever installations require accurate column placement, anchoring per the engineer\'s drawings, and careful arm leveling to prevent material rolloff. We install structural and roll-formed cantilever systems with arm capacities from a few hundred pounds to several tons per arm.

Cantilever projects often include adjacent guard rail, base plate grouting, and rack base covers, which we install in the same scope where ordered.
