What is the Lead Time to Install Pallet Racking - from Start to Finish?

At The Safety Source our current lead is about 6 weeks, obviously this might change based upon on how many units, custom request, and other factor. But a good rule of thumb, is just over a month from start to finish to have a new pallet racking system installed in your facility.

 

This timeline ensures that we deliver a customized, high-quality solution, built to last and installed safely. Here is a look at what goes into that 6-week timeline, the high-quality partners, like Interlake Mecalux - we work with, and how we handle specialized needs like custom colors.

Customization Options

Pallet racking is a crucial element in warehouse storage, providing the backbone for efficient inventory organization and material handling. While standard racking colors like orange, blue, and green are common, many businesses are now exploring the option of custom colors to align with their specific needs. Whether it’s for branding, safety, or operational efficiency, choosing a customized color for pallet racking can have several advantages. But how feasible is it? Can you truly customize the color of your pallet racks, and what factors should you consider? In this blog, we’ll explore the possibilities, benefits, and considerations of opting for customized colors in pallet racking.

 

There are practical reasons why businesses opt for specific colors in their warehouses. From branding to safety and operational efficiency, here’s why you might consider custom-colored pallet racking:

Branding and Aesthetic Appeal

Brand consistency extends to the workspace. Choosing pallet racking in your brand colors creates a professional-looking warehouse:

 

  • Reinforce brand identity throughout the facility.

  • Create a visually appealing and organized storage space.

  • Impress clients and auditors who visit the location.

Safety and Visibility

Color is crucial for warehouse safety. Custom-colored racking improves security and compliance:

 

  • Improved visibility reduces the risk of collisions, making racking more noticeable.

  • Safety zoning uses different colors to indicate high-traffic or restricted areas.

  • Compliance is ensured by following industry-specific safety color codes.

Inventory Management

Color-coded racking is a powerful tool for efficient inventory management. Companies use distinct colors to:

 

  • Distinguish storage areas for specific product categories.

  • Highlight frequently accessed racks for faster picking and stocking.

  • Designate sections for specific customers or inventory types.
