What this service is

A full racking move, documented end-to-end.

Racking relocations go wrong when the teardown crew, the trucking, and the install crew are three different vendors — damage shows up at the new site, no one owns it, the project loses three weeks while the blame gets assigned.

We own the whole move. Same crew tears down the original install, palletizes the components, manages the trucking, and re-installs at the new site. One quote, one timeline, one liable party.

Every relocation includes a pre-teardown inspection (so damage is documented before the move, not discovered after), full re-anchor + torque-test at the new site, and refreshed load capacity placards. We also handle municipal permit work where the new site requires it.

Forklift and 416 crew during racking install — GTA warehouse
Process

Four steps. No surprises.

1

Pre-move inspection

We inspect the existing racking at the origin site, photograph + document all components, flag any damage that needs replacement before the move.

2

Teardown & transport

Frames + beams + accessories palletized in the order they'll be re-installed. Trucked direct to the new site — no warehouse staging.

3

Re-install & re-anchor

New footplates, new anchors (never reused), full torque-test. Re-orient layout to the new slab + ceiling height if needed.

4

Sign-off walk

Joint walk-through, signed install certificate at the new site, refreshed load capacity placards posted. As-built CAD updated.

Scope

What you get, in your hands.

i.

Pre-Move Damage Report

Photographed + documented inventory of every component before teardown. Protects you from damage-claim disputes at the new site.

ii.

Trucking + Insurance Coverage

Cargo insurance included. If anything's damaged in transit, it's covered by us — not your moving company, not your insurance.

iii.

Re-Anchor Torque Log

All new anchors at the new site, drilled to manufacturer-spec depth and torque-tested. Critical: anchor bolts are never reused on a relocation.

iv.

Refreshed Load Placards

New CSA A344-17 placards at the new layout's aisle ends. If beam levels or capacities change, placards reflect the new configuration.

Compliance

Aligned with Ontario's current standards.

Canadian Standard

CSA A344-17

User guide for steel storage racks. Section on anchor bolt re-use is explicit: new anchors required at the new site. Our relocations follow this without exception.

US Standard

ANSI MH16.1 (RMI)

Rack Manufacturers Institute specification. Aligns with the manufacturer specs for teardrop, structural, and box-beam relocations.

Trucking

Cargo Insurance

Standard commercial cargo coverage carried by our own crew vehicles. No separate moving company markup, no damage-claim finger-pointing.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear most.

Can you reuse the same anchor bolts at the new site?

No. CSA A344-17 + every anchor manufacturer spec prohibits reusing wedge or sleeve anchors. Once an anchor is set and torqued, its holding capacity is reduced. New anchors at every new site — non-negotiable.

How long does a typical relocation take?

Standard 800-pallet-position warehouse relocation runs 5-10 business days end-to-end: 2 days teardown, 1 day transport, 4-7 days re-install. Larger systems or VNA configurations run longer.

Do you handle the permits at the new site?

Yes if the new municipality requires permits or engineering review for the racking system. We coordinate the application package and shepherd it through approval as part of the relocation scope.

What if components are damaged during the move?

Cargo insurance covers transit damage. Our pre-move damage report documents condition at origin — protects you from disputes. Damaged components are replaced before re-install, billed against the cargo policy not against you.
