Pallet Racking Project for Steel Manufacturing Company, Pueblo CO
01/29/2026
Request / Problem
The client’s existing pallet rack system wasn’t cutting it. They lacked enough small-part storage, forcing them to keep inventory on the floor or on improper shelving. They required a partner capable of not just moving steel, but redesigning the entire floor plan and supplying the correct racking infrastructure to solve their storage bottleneck.
Solution
Speedrack West delivered a full turnkey solution. We designed a custom warehouse layout, supplied high-quality small-part racking, and executed a rapid 5-day installation. By replacing the underutilized racks with a purpose-built system we provided, the warehouse was transformed into a fully organized facility.

Process Overview
Understanding Requirements
The client contacted us with a critical mismatch in their storage strategy. After an initial install, they realized they had an excess of pallet positions but a severe shortage of small-part racking to house their actual inventory.
“We determined we had too many palletized locations and not enough small part racking. We had to do a change out to make sure we could house all the material,” said Robert Baumgartner, Store Supervisor.
Implementing the Solution Within the Budget and Schedule
Speedrack West delivered a comprehensive turnkey package. We designed a warehouse layout to maximize storage density, supplied the specific small-part racking, and executed the complete tear-down and installation.
The process moved swiftly from concept to completion. We dismantled the old infrastructure and installed the new system—complete with punched decking and safety netting—responding immediately to adjustments to keep the timeline on track.
