We provide you with many options when it comes to relocation services. If your existing racking works with your new layout and facility, we can work with you to tear it down and reassemble it in your new building.
Often times this is more cost-effective to you and doesn't disrupt your business too much during the transition phase.
Dismantling & Relocating Services Planning
Start Early
Starting your relocation plan early is perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure a seamless transition. We recommend starting 1 or 2 months in advance, depending on the size and scope of your project.
Identify Your Goals and Parameters
There are a variety of factors that could require you to need relocation services. A need for more floor space, lease expiration, increased pallet counts, downsizing, and upsizing are the most common factors we see.
This part of the process is essentially the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of the project. Identifying these aspects, and your company's goals are essential.
Calculating Space Needs
You know you need to relocate your warehouse or your existing systems, and now you need to know how much space you need. That's a loaded question, however, because there are several extenuating circumstances that can affect that.
For example, different clear heights and vertical space, types of forklifts, increased or decreased stock keeping unit and pallet count, and downsizing can all factor in.
The relocation experts at Gulf Rack can take this stressful responsibility off your plate and tell you exactly what you need.
Scheduling
With relocation comes the threat of downtime in operations. This comes back to proper planning. Given enough time, we can schedule moving your existing systems to ensure you lose as little time as possible.
Permitting
One of the most common questions that we hear is: "Does my pallet rack require a permit?" The answer to that depends on city, county, and state regulations, but more often than not, special permitting and regulations must be followed.
We have extensive experience working with local municipalities on permitting, and can help guide you through this process. Most cities do require permitting.
Contact building inspection office in your city for more information.
Rack Trade-In
While we do not trade used pallet racking for new, we will purchase your old rack (if required). In fact, this is the smoothest way to make a warehouse storage area move.
If you are looking to replace your old racking with new material, we will move you into your new space with new racking first, and follow up by tearing your used rack down, bundling and banding it, and getting it ready for transport to anywhere you need.
