Pallet Racks in Dallas, TX

Dallas–Fort Worth sits on I-35, I-20, I-30, I-45 and I-635, with BNSF and Union Pacific rail and DFW Airport cargo. Most of Texas and Oklahoma is a day's drive away.

That reach is why regional distribution centers cluster here. Their inventory rarely stays put; SKU mixes shift with each customer and season.

Selective rack handles that churn. Beam levels move in a few hours, and a bay that held consumer goods last spring can take auto and truck parts this fall.

Clear height drives frame height, beam count, and how many pallet positions a bay can hold. In this market the range is wide:

• Newer 32–40 ft clear tilt-wall bulk buildings at the Inland Port, AllianceTexas, and the Great Southwest Industrial District support tall frames and many beam levels.
• Older 18–24 ft clear buildings near Stemmons, Garland, and Mesquite need shorter frames, and column spacing often dictates aisle placement.
• Moving between the two? Frames from a low building can often be reused, but beam layouts almost always change.

Every selective layout starts with your heaviest pallet and its footprint. A 48 x 40 pallet at 2,500 lb needs a different beam than one at 1,200 lb.

Next comes the truck. Your forklift's lift height and right-angle stacking need set the aisle width, and that choice decides how many rows fit the floor.

Narrower aisles add positions but may require a different truck. We show both options in CAD so the tradeoff is visible before anyone orders steel.
