We recently completed a warehouse design project for our client RESCO in River Falls, WI. The company needed pallet racking for its newly purchased 54,000-square-foot food and beverage fulfillment center.
As a 3PL/fulfillment facility for various food and beverage clients, RESCO needed to provide ample storage for their clients’ products. They needed storage density and an efficient system layout to make the best possible use of their space—a job fit for the Design Group at AK.
We are warehouse layout design experts with over 75 years of combined industry expertise. If you need storage systems or professional design services, call 800-722-5908 or fill out a quote form to get in touch!
Working Together Since 2022
In October 2022, RESCO contacted AK Material Handling Systems, requesting a professional site visit to review their existing pallet rack layout. We inspected the system and provided custom racking for their Hudson, WI facility.
Then, in November 2023, the company reached out again, seeking warehouse design and storage for its new River Falls facility. Although it was an extensive storage design project, our team was ready to tackle the job!
RESCO Warehouse Design
As a full-service warehouse layout design company, we transformed this warehouse from empty to racked, permitted, and ready to store within a very short timeline. Our rockstar team and a wide array of service offerings made this possible.
Services Provided:
Unlike many competitors, we offer turnkey storage design services and are your one-stop shop for warehouse inspection, design, industrial storage systems, permitting, and more. We transformed their storage facility within a concise timeline for RESCO’s River Falls project. Project services included:
- Project management from start to finish
- Warehouse layout design & professional CAD drawings
- Custom pallet racking
- Pallet rack installation
Beyond providing the physical pallet racking, we designed a code-compliant storage system custom-fit to their space requirements and shipped and installed the racking quickly and efficiently.
The Pallet Rack System
For this project, we provided Steel King selective pallet racking in striking orange and blue. Eight full truckloads transported over 280,000 lbs of pallet rack components from Maple Grove, MN, to River Falls, where installation began promptly.
“This project was condensed into a very short timeline as the client’s customers had immediate shipments and needed space to store their products. We worked closely with RESCO on optimizing the space, all on a short timeline. RESCO was great to work with by providing updates on their status with the lease and move-in dates.”
It’s incredible how quickly a large-scale project like this one comes together when everyone works together. In just 14 days, we unloaded and installed 375 bays of pallet racking, increasing RESCO’s storage capacity by 4,200 pallet positions plus 480 shelf levels for hand stack/small SKUs.
Here is some additional information about the pallet rack system:
- 431 Steel King roll-formed uprights
- 4,400 Steel King roll-formed beams
- 4,600 J&L wire decks
- Narrow aisles to increase density
Project Summary
The RESCO warehouse design project in River Falls, WI, was unique because of time constraints and the need to set up the racking quickly for immediate storage.
As a 3PL facility, RESCO’s clients depend heavily on them for storage. Delays can be detrimental to their businesses and workflows. We worked together to design and install this high-density system just in time for their clients’ shipments.
