Pallet racking for 3PL & fulfillment, engineered for SKU velocity.
Salaried 416 crew — engineered design, supplied product, installed by the same team that signs the inspection. CSA A344-17 aligned. Same-day acknowledgement on emergency repair calls.
What we know about 3PL & Fulfillment racking.
Third-party logistics buildings have the toughest racking environment in the GTA: SKU mixes change weekly, forklifts run two and three shifts, and Black Friday demand spikes can double throughput in a single weekend. Racking that works in a static warehouse fails in a 3PL. 416 has installed and inspected racking across dozens of GTA 3PL operators since 2011 — we know which configurations hold up to high-velocity environments and which crumble under them.
Pain points we solve for 3PL & Fulfillment.
Seasonal peaks push pick-face density past what static selective can handle. Push-back and pallet flow change the math.
Frame replacement schedules need to be planned, not reactive. Stocking spare uprights on-site cuts downtime weeks to hours.
Modular selective with adjustable beam levels keeps the floor reconfigurable. Welded systems lock you in.
MLITSD-ready signed inspection reports, traceable repair logs, P.Eng-stamped drawings — the package the auditor actually wants.
Walmart, Loblaws, Costco — they all audit your racking. CSA A344-17 alignment + recent inspection report passes the first review.

Selective Pallet
100% pick-face access. Modular beam levels. The baseline for SKU variety. Teardrop + structural options.
Spec ›Push-Back
2-6 deep LIFO. +90% density vs selective without losing forklift access. Engineered for high-velocity zones.
Spec ›Pallet Flow
FIFO gravity. +85% density. Cuts pick-walk distance dramatically for high-velocity SKUs.
Spec ›VNA
5-6 ft aisles, up to 45 ft height. For high-bay buildings with sprawling SKU counts.
Spec ›Regulations & standards for 3PL & Fulfillment.
Note: 416 designs and installs to documented standards. Specific clause interpretation belongs to the registered engineer of record on your project — we provide the alignment and documentation, you confirm the regulatory fit with your in-house compliance team.
