Case Study: Pallet Racking and Fencing Project for a Third-Party Logistics Warehouse

Project Overview

SOURCE Racks partnered with a third-party logistics (3PL) company in the Northeast on a fast-paced new warehouse buildout. The primary goal was clear: get operations up and running as quickly as possible while accommodating a wide variety of products and storage requirements.

This project required a flexible, efficient racking solution that could support multiple product types and adapt to changing inventory demands—all within a compressed timeline.


The Challenge

As a 3PL provider, the client manages products for many different companies, each with unique storage needs. Speed was the top priority, but the solution also needed to be versatile, safe, and scalable.

Key challenges included:

  • A brand-new warehouse requiring a complete racking and fencing installation

  • Diverse inventory profiles requiring customized storage solutions

  • An aggressive timeline to minimize downtime and accelerate operations

  • Coordination with permitting and vendor partners during installation


The Solution

SOURCE Racks worked closely with the client to design a personalized warehouse layout that met their specific operational goals. After evaluating their upfront storage requirements, our team delivered a solution that balanced flexibility, speed, and efficiency.

The project included:

  • Pallet racking systems designed for versatile storage

  • Carton racking to support smaller or mixed inventory

  • Warehouse fencing to improve safety and organization

  • Close collaboration with trusted vendor partners

  • End-to-end support from design through installation and permitting

Installation kicked off in December, and our experienced crews moved quickly to keep the project on track.


Execution & Timeline

Speed was critical. SOURCE Racks’ installation crew completed the full buildout in approximately one month, with racking installation completed in 3–4 weeks. Our team worked efficiently on-site while coordinating permitting requirements to ensure compliance without slowing progress.

The result was a smooth, fast installation that allowed the client to begin warehouse operations sooner than expected.
