Pallet racking for manufacturing, rated for JIT line-side & heavy load profiles.
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 Manufacturing racking.
Manufacturing racking has to do two jobs at once: bulk storage of raw materials and tooling, and JIT line-side staging that keeps assembly lines fed without bottlenecks. Add the heavy load profiles common to GTA manufacturers — dies, mold tooling, sheet metal, steel coil — and standard teardrop selective often isn't enough. 416 has installed structural-grade cantilever, heavy-duty selective, and pallet flow systems across Oakville auto, Oshawa heavy, Burlington chemical and Mississauga light manufacturing for over a decade. Every install P.Eng-stamped, every load placard posted.
Pain points we solve for Manufacturing.
Structural-grade selective with custom load classes per shelf. 5,000+ lb per pallet position spec'd up front.
Cantilever racking with custom arm lengths. Lumber, pipe, sheet metal, steel bar — each gets the right arm geometry.
Gravity-fed lanes keep parts moving to the line without forklift congestion at the staging zone.
Inspection records traceable per upright + repair log per damaged frame. The package the workplace safety inspector expects.
Each rack bay must post load capacity per beam level. Custom placards manufactured for non-standard configurations.

Cantilever
Custom-arm geometry for long-form / awkward loads. Structural-grade for over-3000lb capacity. Lumber, pipe, sheet metal, steel bar.
Spec ›Heavy-duty Selective
Structural-grade frames + custom load-class beams. For tooling, dies, mold storage, raw material pallets above 3000 lb.
Spec ›Pallet Flow
FIFO gravity for JIT line-side staging. Keeps the line fed without forklift congestion at the staging zone.
Spec ›VNA
For manufacturers with high-bay buildings and dense raw-material SKU counts. 5-6 ft aisles, up to 45 ft height.
Spec ›Regulations & standards for Manufacturing.
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.
