Our Delivery & Relocation Process
01 Scheduling & Planning
For deliveries, we coordinate a date and window that fits your schedule and receiving capabilities. For relocations, we survey both origin and destination facilities to plan the most efficient disassembly sequence and transportation logistics.
02 Load Preparation or Systematic Disassembly
For deliveries, we load and secure components carefully with appropriate blocking and strapping. For relocations, our crew disassembles your racking in sequence, labeling all components and inspecting each piece for damage.
03 Transport & On-Site Delivery
We transport all materials to your destination on schedule, communicating arrival time in advance. Components are delivered to your specified staging area or directly to the installation zone.
04 Reinstallation & Confirmation
For relocations, we reinstall your racking at the new location per the approved layout with new anchor hardware and a final inspection before handoff. For deliveries, we complete a checklist to confirm all components are present and undamaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver racking to facilities without loading docks in Indianapolis?
Yes. Our fleet includes liftgate vehicles specifically for ground-level deliveries at facilities without docks. We coordinate with your receiving team in advance to ensure the right equipment is dispatched for your specific facility configuration throughout the Indianapolis metro area.
How far in advance do I need to schedule delivery?
For standard deliveries within the Indianapolis metro area, we typically schedule within the same week for in-stock materials. For larger orders or time-sensitive projects, we work with your deadline and communicate any lead time constraints upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Can you relocate our entire racking system to a new facility?
Yes. Our relocation service covers the complete process: systematic disassembly and component labeling at your current facility, protected transport, and professional reinstallation at the new location with new anchor hardware. We can often complete a full relocation faster than sourcing all-new racking.
Do you handle deliveries of racking purchased from other suppliers?
Yes. If you have purchased racking from another source and need professional delivery and installation in the Indianapolis metro area, we can coordinate transport and installation as a standalone service. Contact us with your load details and destination for a quote.
Signs You Need a Professional Delivery or Relocation Crew
- Moving from an older Indianapolis west-side or Speedway building into a modern LEAP district or Plainfield lease
- Your rack is more than 5 years old but structurally sound — moving is cheaper than replacing
- Bought a large quantity of rack at auction or private sale and have no flatbed or crane capability in-house
- No loading dock at destination — liftgate-equipped delivery required for older Anderson / Muncie / Elwood buildings
- FedEx vendor operating warehouse needs relocation phased around peak season (November–January blackout)
- Automotive JIT supplier relocation must be completed inside an OEM-defined shutdown window
- Ag-seed processor needs pre-season move before planting rush — window is tight and non-negotiable
- Heavy cantilever, coil rack, or extrusion rack from Anderson / Kokomo requiring oversize permits and specialized trailers
Delivery & Relocation Approaches Compared
Not every Indy move looks the same. Here is how we match the method to the situation.
| Approach | Best For | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Flatbed delivery (standard) | Large orders with dock access | Fastest for LEAP district, Plainfield, and Hendricks / Boone County DC deliveries |
| Liftgate delivery | Facilities without loading docks | Common for older Anderson, Muncie, Elwood, Indianapolis west-side buildings |
| Full relocation (disassemble + transport + reinstall) | Systems > 5 years old but structurally sound | We label, protect in transit, reinstall with new anchor hardware |
| OEM-window sequencing | Automotive JIT relocations (Cummins, Subaru, Stellantis) | Tightly scheduled around line shutdowns — nothing moves outside the approved window |
| Pre-peak sequencing | FedEx vendor and Amazon FC relocations | Must be complete before October 1 to avoid peak blackout — we build the schedule around this |
| Piecemeal moves | Small quantities between close Indy metro facilities | Often a single day, flexible scheduling — good for 2nd / 3rd shift overflow moves |
| Same-day Indy metro | Emergency rack swap-outs | Available inside a 40-mile radius of Indianapolis for urgent situations |
