Two Million Pounds of Pallet Rack Removed from a Georgia Distribution Facility
60 Truckloads, All Recycled.
Clearing Out Old Rack?
What We Did
We removed the entire steel rack structure rather than installing a replacement.
How the Project Came Together
From Challenge to Solution
See how each project came together, from the initial need and installation process to the finished result.
The Problem
The facility's steel storage rack was more than 20 years old and well past its useful life. The customer needed the whole structure out of the building.
How It Went In
We normally design, supply and install rack. On this job we were hired to take it out. Twelve of our crew, working with fork trucks, scissor lifts and cutting tools, removed the entire steel structure. More than 60 trucks, each carrying 30,000 lbs, hauled it to recycling, where it was shredded, processed and returned to use as new steel.
The Result
Two million pounds of ferrous steel, cleared from the distribution facility and recycled rather than sent to a landfill.
