Ziglift recently completed a large-scale warehouse relocation for a leading building materials distributor in Bell Gardens, California. The project involved not only transferring operations but also designing and installing a high-performance pallet racking system tailored to the client’s operational needs and inventory profile.

Why the Right Racking System Matters

In the building materials industry, warehouses must be built for strength, safety, and scalability. With heavy inventory, high turnover, and constant movement of forklifts and pallet loads, there’s no room for compromise when it comes to the racking infrastructure.

That’s why our team designed a custom Mecalux Pallet Racking System engineered to handle the demands of the space and product types involved.

Key Features of the Installed System:

🔩 Heavy-Duty 12″ x 46″ Baseplates
These oversized baseplates provide superior stability and anchoring strength—especially critical when dealing with tall uprights and heavy pallet loads. They help distribute weight more effectively and protect against impact from warehouse equipment.

🛡️ 60″ Backers & Double Diagonals
To maximize load transfer and structural integrity, we used 60″ backers and double diagonal braces. This added reinforcement ensures the system can handle dynamic loading and withstand the rigorous environment typical of material distribution facilities.

✅ Beam Safety Decals
Workplace safety is always a top priority. Clear beam safety decals help forklift operators quickly verify capacity ratings and placement guidelines, reducing the risk of overloading and improving compliance with OSHA best practices.

📦 Total Pallet Positions: 5,858
The finished system offers nearly 6,000 pallet positions, giving the client ample capacity with efficient flow for both incoming and outgoing materials.
