What this service is

In-house installation, from delivery to walk-through.

Most rack installs go wrong at one of three points: footplates that don't align with the slab, anchor bolts that aren't to depth, or beam connectors that aren't safety-pinned. Our crew owns all three.

Our installers are salaried 416 employees, not day-rate sub-contractors. Same crew every project, same standards, same accountability. They unload the truck, set the frames, level the footplates, drill and torque the anchors, install the beams, lock the safety pins, and hand you a signed install certificate.

We schedule installs to your operations — off-peak, after-hours, or weekend if your throughput can't take a daytime interruption. Standard install rate is 15–20 bays/day for selective racking with a 2–3 person crew. Heavier structural systems run 8–12 bays/day with a 4–6 person crew.

Process

Four steps. No surprises.

1

Pre-install walk

Site visit 5–7 days before install. Confirm slab condition, ceiling height, sprinkler clearance, electrical conflicts.

2

Delivery & staging

Steel delivered to your dock. Frames + beams + accessories staged by bay sequence so install flows without re-handling.

3

Install & anchor

Frames set, footplates leveled, anchors drilled to manufacturer-spec depth, torque-tested. Beams locked with safety pins.

4

Sign-off walk-through

Joint walk-through with your warehouse manager. Signed install certificate handed over. Load capacity placards installed.

Scope

What you get, in your hands.

i.

Signed Install Certificate

Every frame, every anchor, every beam connection documented. Includes torque readings + slab-confirmation photos. Insurance-carrier ready.

ii.

Load Capacity Placards

CSA A344-17 required. Posted at the end of every aisle with rated capacity per beam pair + per frame. Permanent, weather-resistant.

iii.

Anchor-Bolt Torque Log

Manufacturer-spec embedment depth + torque readings for every anchor. Insurance carriers require this after any forklift incident.

iv.

As-Built CAD Drawing

Native DWG file documenting the final installed layout. Useful for future inspections + insurance + warehouse-manager handoff.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear most.

Can you install racking we bought from someone else?

Yes. Most of our installs are on systems we supplied, but we'll install any major manufacturer's rack — Ridg-U-Rak, Steel King, Interlake Mecalux, Frazier, Mecalux. We'll work from the manufacturer's spec sheet and apply the same install methodology.

How quickly can you start an install?

Standard scheduling is 2–3 weeks out. If you have a pressing deadline (lease expiry, ops launch, peak season), we can usually accommodate a 5–7 day rush with after-hours or weekend crew at a 15–20% premium.

Do you install after-hours or weekends?

Yes — and often it's the better choice. Active warehouses lose less productivity if installs happen after 18:00 or on Saturdays. Premium for after-hours is 15%, weekends 25%.

Are anchor-bolt torque readings really needed?

Yes. Insurance carriers increasingly require torque logs after any forklift incident, and CSA A344-17 references manufacturer-spec embedment as a structural integrity baseline. We log every anchor as standard practice.
