Warehouse Racking at I-75 Exit 33, Charleston, TN
The industrial area around I-75 Exit 33 in Charleston covers more than 1,200 acres of public and private land. It holds chemical plants, a lighting-products distribution center and an e-commerce fulfillment center.
Those users pick very differently, and their warehouse racking reflects it.
Pick Modules for Fulfillment
E-commerce fulfillment means thousands of small orders. A pick module stacks carton flow rack and shelving on two or three levels, with walkways between and conveyor running through.
Reserve pallets sit in selective pallet rack behind the module, ready to replenish.
- Carton flow pick faces
- Walkway levels inside the rack structure
- Reserve pallet rack behind the pick area
Reserve Storage Above the Pick Area
Fulfillment buildings run out of pick faces long before they run out of height. Reserve pallets above carton flow keep restock close.
We set the pick levels at working height and run reserve beam levels above them. Replenishment trucks work from the back.
Clear labels and simple paths do more for pick rates than any single piece of steel.
When order volume shifts, the reserve levels above can be re-spaced without touching the pick lines below.
Heavy-Duty Rack for Chemical and Industrial Supply
Drums, totes and dense industrial goods need heavier frames and beams. We size each bay to the heaviest load and spec decking where loads do not sit squarely on a pallet.
Lighting-products distribution sits in between: lots of cartons, many SKUs, steady turns. High-bay selective rack with pick faces at the lower levels works well.
Hiwassee River Industrial Park
The 121-acre Hiwassee River Industrial Park sits about an eighth of a mile off I-75 at Exit 33. Barge traffic runs on the Hiwassee River west of town, and a truck-to-rail transfer terminal operates on Lower River Road.
Bulk materials that come in by barge or rail often sit in deep lanes. Drive-in rack handles big runs of one item.
Peak Season Planning
Fulfillment buildings ramp up hard for peak. We plan rack installs to finish well ahead of the ramp so pickers are trained on the final layout.

Starting a Charleston Layout
Send order profiles, SKU counts and carton sizes for fulfillment. For industrial supply, send load weights and container types.
We draw pick modules, carton flow, reserve rack and heavy-duty bays on one CAD plan with position and pick-face counts.
Installs are scheduled to finish ahead of your peak.
Buildings in the Hiwassee River park can be planned from shell drawings.
Every bay is labeled with its capacity at handover.
