Pallet Racking Installation in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

A 20–30 bay selective system takes 1–3 days; a 200+ bay distribution center build runs 1–2 weeks with a full crew. Concrete anchor cure time, slab remediation, and sprinkler trade coordination are factored into every schedule. Alliance and South Dallas e-commerce builds near DFW Airport often require night or weekend shifts to meet go-live dates. Same-week scheduling is available when rack is in stock.

Yes — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, and most incorporated DFW cities require a building permit for rack above 8 ft tall. The City of Dallas Development Services Department (DSD), Fort Worth Development Services, Arlington Building Services, and Irving Building Inspection each have their own submittal requirements. We prepare the full permit package — stamped drawings, seismic calcs per Texas-amended IBC, fire analysis — and shepherd it through plan review to approval.

Yes — phased installation is standard practice for occupied DFW facilities. We install one aisle or quadrant at a time, set OSHA-required barricades, and schedule noisy anchor work outside pick hours. Clients on I-20 and I-35 distribution corridors with 24/7 operations often run our crews on nights and weekends to keep pick lanes running continuously.

We install all major manufacturers — Steel King, Interlake Mecalux, UNARCO, Ridg-U-Rak, Frazier, Tennsco, and others — as well as regional fabricators for custom cantilever and heavy-beam selective applications. We are manufacturer-neutral and spec the system that best fits your load case, forklift type, and budget rather than steering you toward a single vendor.
