Pallet Racking Services in Greenwood, IN

The big-box fulfillment spec that rolled in with IND5 has spread across most I-65 South build-outs:

• 36–40 ft clear with ESFR: New construction along Worthsville and Graham Road hits 36–40 ft clear. Full-height selective or pallet flow is standard; drive-in is used for overstock or returns staging.
• Pick-face ergonomics: E-comm SKUs pick between 18–60 in. We install bottom levels at 18 in, flip the first beam to eliminate bullnose at the pick face, and run deeper uprights for stability under hand-pick load cycles.
• Pallet flow for FIFO grocery and consumer goods: Amazon-style and grocery DCs run pallet flow with galvanized rollers and speed controllers to keep loads from damaging downstream pallets.
• Returns and reverse logistics: Drive-in or push-back for returns. Greenwood Fire treats both as high-piled — expect an IFC Ch 32 letter.

Greenwood is the most permit-active Indy suburb outside Plainfield, and three things dictate the schedule:

• Johnson County Building & Development Services: 10–14 business day review on rack permits. We submit stamped engineering and hydraulic sprinkler calcs (when required) with the application to avoid resubmit cycles.
• IFC Chapter 32 high-piled review: Anything over 12 ft storage height or 500 sq ft of Class IV/plastics needs commodity classification, flue-space geometry, and an engineer letter on file with Greenwood Fire. We handle the submittal.
• ESFR water supply: Older Greenwood buildings retrofitted to ESFR occasionally fail flow tests. If your building's C-factor is questionable, design for in-rack sprinklers as a backstop.
• Seismic: Johnson County is SDC A — no seismic surcharge on uprights.
