Warehouse Racking & Industrial Storage Systems | Ohio

Complete Warehouse Racking Solutions

Efficient warehouse operations start with the right racking system. At Midwest Material Handling, LLC, we supply new and used warehouse racking systems designed to improve storage density, workflow, and long-term reliability. From high-volume distribution centers to manufacturing and storage facilities, we help businesses choose the right industrial racking systems for their space, inventory, and budget. Our storage solutions include selective pallet rack, cantilever rack, drive-in racking, and pushback systems, all available in Central Ohio (Plain City) with expert layout support and fast turnaround.

Warehouse racking is not one-size-fits-all. Different products, load weights, and access requirements demand different systems. As a full-service material handling supplier, we provide practical guidance and proven storage solutions based on how your operation actually runs, not just what fits on paper.

We stock both new and used warehouse racking, allowing customers to balance performance and cost while maintaining safety and compliance. Whether you are expanding an existing warehouse or building out a new facility, our team helps you select the right system from the start.

The sections below provide an overview of each of the four major warehouse racking systems. Select any system to learn more about its applications and advantages.

Selective Pallet Rack Systems

Pallet rack systems are the most common form of warehouse racking and are used to store palletized loads with forklift access. These systems are ideal for facilities that require flexibility, selectivity, and straightforward inventory management.

Selective pallet rack allows direct access to every pallet position, making it a practical choice for operations with a wide variety of SKUs. Structural pallet rack options are also available for higher-capacity loads and more demanding environments.

New and used pallet rack systems are available in a wide range of sizes, configurations, and load capacities to support diverse warehouse requirements. For a closer look at pallet rack styles, configurations, and system components, explore our pallet rack systems overview.

Cantilever Racking (for Long & Bulky Materials)

Cantilever racking is designed for materials that are difficult or inefficient to store on traditional pallet rack systems. In Ohio warehouses, this commonly includes long or bulky items such as lumber, pipe, tubing, steel, and furniture.

Because cantilever racks use open arms without front columns, materials can be loaded and unloaded easily without obstruction. Systems are available in single-sided and double-sided designs and can be configured based on material length, weight, and handling requirements.

Cantilever racking is widely used across Ohio in manufacturing, building materials, and industrial storage environments where access and flexibility are essential.

Structural Rack Systems

Structural rack systems are often selected when Ohio facilities need added strength and durability beyond standard roll-formed pallet rack. Midwest Material Handling, LLC supplies new and used structural rack systems statewide for warehouses operating in high-traffic or demanding conditions.

Built from hot-rolled structural steel, these systems use thicker components and bolted connections to create a rigid, impact-resistant structure. This construction helps reduce damage from daily forklift activity while supporting heavier pallet loads over time.

Structural rack systems are often incorporated into drive-in, pushback, and high-density storage designs depending on facility requirements.

Drive-In & Pushback Racking Systems

When Ohio warehouses need to maximize storage density, high-density racking systems such as drive-in and pushback racking offer efficient use of available floor space while reducing aisle requirements.

Drive-in racking allows forklifts to enter the rack structure and store pallets several positions deep. This system works well for Ohio operations storing large volumes of similar products, particularly in cold storage or bulk storage environments.

Pushback racking stores pallets multiple positions deep on inclined rails and loads from a single aisle. This design provides higher density with faster access and improved selectivity compared to traditional drive-in systems.

New & Used Warehouse Racking Options

Choosing between new and used warehouse racking often comes down to budget, lead time, and availability. We offer both options so customers can make the decision that best fits their project.

Used racking is fully inspected and graded for reuse, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for many applications. New racking offers maximum flexibility for custom layouts and long-term expansion plans.

Our team can help evaluate which option makes the most sense based on your storage requirements and timeline.

Layout Support, Delivery & Installation

Selecting the right racking system is only part of the process. Proper layout planning is critical for safety, efficiency, and long-term performance. We assist with rack layout design, capacity planning, and system configuration to ensure your warehouse operates as intended.
