Rack Supported Buildings

Rack supported buildings consist of a complete racking system that provides the basic structural support for the building's roof and walls. The highest density storage solution possible for nearly every type of pallet rack, this method of building construction reduces construction costs, lead times and minimizes the building footprint.

Advantages

• Turnkey solution
• Integrated easily with an AS/RS system
• Eliminates building columns since rack supports the structure
• Can be built at heights over 130 feet
• Inclement weather and seismic conditions have minimal impact on the building
• Utilizes height instead of land mass
• Tax advantages available

An Interlake Mecalux clad-rack building is the most economic storage solution when a new building is required. Although AS/RS applications are the most common type of rack supported building, other racking systems such as Drive-In and Push-Back are also available. When land is at a premium and an accelerated construction schedule is required, a rack supported building is the optimal choice.
