Pallet Rack Design & AutoCAD Services – Maximize Your Warehouse Efficiency

A well-planned racking system is the foundation of an efficient warehouse. At RACKsteel Material Handling, we specialize in professional pallet rack design and AutoCAD drafting services to help you maximize storage capacity, optimize workflow, and ensure compliance with safety standards.

Before investing in racking or forklift equipment, it’s crucial to develop a strategic layout that considers warehouse constraints, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability. Our expert design team works closely with clients to create detailed CAD drawings that serve as a blueprint for seamless execution.

Our Pallet Rack Design Process

1. Custom Layout Design & Space Optimization

At RACKsteel Material Handling, our expert design team collaborates with sales and operations to develop a fully optimized racking layout tailored to your warehouse. Our designs take into account:

Warehouse dimensions & structural obstacles (columns, doors, dock areas).
Pallet sizes, weights & SKU storage requirements for optimal rack selection.
Forklift and material flow paths to reduce congestion and increase efficiency.
Building codes & WorkSafeBC compliance to meet all safety regulations.

2. Collaborative Planning & Execution

Pallet racking is more than just placing beams and uprights—it’s about ensuring seamless integration with warehouse operations. We work closely with your team to:

Align rack design with operational workflows.
Identify potential challenges (clearance issues, dock access, forklift movement).
Budget and schedule installation efficiently to minimize disruptions.
Prepare detailed CAD drawings that provide a clear visualization of the layout.

3. Professional AutoCAD & Engineering Support

Our in-house CAD drafting team and engineering partners bring your warehouse vision to life. While our engineering partners handle structural analysis and load calculations, our internal team works alongside them to create precise, professional AutoCAD drawings.

Testimonials

We had a great experience dealing with RACKsteel Material Handling recently. Our company required a new cantilever rack for our pipe storage needs recently, and dealing with Cheryl Schubert and the installation team at RACKsteel Material Handling was a terrific experience. Although there were some initial minor delays with the shipment of the racking, we were very pleased to receive pro-active updates and communication from Cheryl all throughout the process until the installation project was complete. I would recommend RACKsteel Material Handling as a supplier and will call them again in the future if we need additional racking at our facility. Thanks again for the great service.

The team at RACKsteel Material Handling helped us out with a quote for racking at our space. The staff was super knowledgeable and helped us understand all the options + helped us improve the layout efficiency. The installation team was great too. I highly recommend them!

We have used RACKsteel Material Handling at our previous warehouse and just finishing up an install at our new location. Everyone from purchasing, sales, to install staff that I dealt with many times, have all been so amazing to deal with. We have had multiple curve balls and changes that were never a big deal to them and they made it so easy with rolling with all the changes and hiccups as if it was always part of the plan. I have recommended them already and will continue to as well as use them again on any future projects we have.
