Heavy-Capacity Pallet and Cantilever Rack in Etowah, TN
We build heavy-capacity pallet racks in Etowah for rail-served manufacturers. CSX runs a rail yard here with five-day service to North Etowah Industrial Park, and McMinn County is served by two Class 1 main lines.
Heavy manufacturers locate here to unload raw material straight from railcars, and that material needs industrial warehouse racking built for weight.
Pallet Racking for North Etowah Industrial Park
North Etowah Industrial Park covers about 600 acres. It is a CSX Select Site and Select Tennessee Certified, and a 271-acre site on Jack King Drive is marketed for heavy, rail-served manufacturing.
A new plant there can plan its rack with the building. We like to see rail doors, crane bays and column lines on the first drawings.
Cantilever and Pallet Rack for Railcar Material
Bar, tube, plate and coil arrive heavy. Cantilever rack handles long product; heavy-capacity selective pallet rack with steel decking handles dense, short units.
We size arms, beams and frames to the heaviest piece. Then we check the handling equipment, because a side-loader and a forklift need very different aisles.
- Cantilever for bar, tube and long stock
- Heavy selective rack with steel decking
- Rack kept clear of crane paths
Plate, Coil and Heavy Short Units
Plate and coil are heavy for their size. Steel decking or coil cradles on heavy beams spread the load across the bay.
We confirm the heaviest piece and the way it is lifted, by forklift, crane or side-loader, before sizing anything.
Lower levels take the heaviest units so trucks are not lifting them high.
Every bay gets a posted capacity so operators know the limit before they set a load.
Highway 30 and US-411
Four-lane Highway 30 links North Etowah to the Interstate Industrial Park on I-75 in Athens, and US-411 runs through town. Plants here often share suppliers with Athens.
When a company moves between those buildings, our warehouse relocation crew moves the rack.
What We Need to Quote Your Etowah Rack
Piece sizes and weights, how material arrives, truck type and building height. That is enough for a CAD layout and itemized quote.
Getting an Etowah Plan Started
Railcar types, piece sizes and weights, and your handling equipment come first. Add the plant drawing with crane bays and rail doors.
We draw cantilever, heavy pallet rack and staging together and quote every component.
New plants at North Etowah can be planned from site drawings.
