About Our Delivery & Relocation Service
DFW Pallet Racking handles the full spectrum of racking logistics — from straightforward material delivery to complete rack system relocations — for warehouses throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Our delivery fleet includes flatbed trucks and liftgate vehicles capable of handling heavy, oversized racking components safely. For businesses moving their operations, our relocation service covers everything: careful disassembly and component labeling at your current facility, protected transport, and professional reinstallation at the new location. We minimize downtime and ensure your system is reassembled correctly and safely, often completing relocations faster than sourcing and installing all-new racking.

Our Delivery & Relocation Process
01 Scheduling & Planning
For deliveries, we coordinate a date and window that fits your schedule and receiving capabilities. For relocations, we survey both origin and destination facilities to plan the most efficient disassembly sequence and transportation logistics.
02 Load Preparation or Systematic Disassembly
For deliveries, we load and secure components carefully with appropriate blocking and strapping. For relocations, our crew disassembles your racking in sequence, labeling all components and inspecting each piece for damage.
03 Transport & On-Site Delivery
We transport all materials to your destination on schedule, communicating arrival time in advance. Components are delivered to your specified staging area or directly to the installation zone.
04 Reinstallation & Confirmation
For relocations, we reinstall your racking at the new location per the approved layout with new anchor hardware and a final inspection before handoff. For deliveries, we complete a checklist to confirm all components are present and undamaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move pallet rack between DFW warehouses without damaging it?
Yes — with the right protocols, 95% or more of components are reusable after a properly managed relocation. Every move requires unloading all pallets before disassembly, protecting beam connectors and column bases, banding and palletizing uprights, and labeling everything for sequenced reassembly. We regularly complete full system moves across the DFW metroplex — Alliance to South Dallas, Garland to Carrollton, Arlington to Fort Worth — with minimal component loss.
How do you minimize downtime during a DFW rack relocation?
Phased relocation is the standard approach — one aisle or one quadrant goes offline at a time while operations continue in the rest of the building. High-traffic DFW distribution centers on the I-20 and I-35 corridors that cannot afford daytime disruption get night and weekend crews. Materials are staged outside active pick lanes, and reassembly is sequenced to match when each zone needs to come back online.
Do you move rack from DFW to other Texas cities or out of state?
Yes — we regularly move rack from the DFW metroplex to Austin, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and out of state to Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Transportation is quoted separately from labor. For long-haul moves we recommend palletized component shipping rather than bulk breakdown trailers to protect beam connectors and column bases during transit.
What happens to components damaged during a rack move?
Every component is inspected as we disassemble. Damaged pieces are flagged, photographed, and either repaired with ANSI/RMI MH16.1-compliant engineered repair kits or replaced from our DFW used inventory. You receive a written component report at job completion showing exactly what was reused, repaired, and replaced — essential documentation for insurance claims and capital asset tracking.
Signs You Need Professional Rack Relocation
- Moving warehouses across the DFW metroplex — Alliance to South Dallas, Arlington to Fort Worth, Plano to Frisco
- Consolidating two or more buildings into one larger DC
- Bought used rack out of state and need delivery to Dallas–Fort Worth
- Landlord or new tenant requires full rack removal before lease turnover
- Finished a lease and the rack is worth more relocated than scrapped
- Expanding into a second DFW building and moving half your rack to the new site
- Existing crew cannot safely disassemble — liability and certification concerns
Relocation Options Compared
Rack moves can be handled four different ways. Cost and risk vary dramatically with who actually handles the steel.
| Relocation Approach | Best For | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DIY / Self-Move | Very small systems (under 20 bays), low-value rack | High damage risk, no certification, no insurance coverage on rack failures |
| General Moving Company | Mostly-empty facility with a little rack on the side | Movers rarely carry rack experience — disassembly errors common |
| Rack-Certified Relocation Crew | Full-system moves, any scale, within or into DFW | Labeled teardown, protective transport, certified reinstall with fresh anchors |
| Buy New, Scrap the Old | System is past its service life or incompatible with new layout | Eliminates move entirely — sometimes cheaper after labor, transport, and downtime |
