Rack Relocation in Alaska

Rack relocation is the disassembly, transport, and reassembly of pallet rack from one location to another — either within the same facility or to a different building entirely. Moving existing rack is almost always cheaper than buying new, but it requires careful planning, experienced crews, and honest assessment of what's worth moving vs. replacing. Alaska's logistics picture is unlike any other state. Anchorage's Ted Stevens International Airport is a top-5 global air cargo hub, positioned at the crossroads of Asia-North America freight lanes. Warehouse operations here deal with extreme cold, remote locations, and some of the highest construction costs in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to relocate rack or buy new?
Relocating typically costs 40-60% of buying new equivalent rack. The savings are in the material — you already own the steel. The costs are in labor (disassembly + reassembly = roughly double the installation labor) and transport. For rack in good condition moving a short distance, relocation is a clear win. For beat-up rack moving 1,000+ miles, the math gets closer.
Can all rack be relocated?
Most bolt-together rack (which is the vast majority) can be disassembled and reassembled. Welded rack systems are harder and sometimes not practical to move. Mezzanines can be relocated but require more labor. Rack that's been significantly modified (cut columns, welded brackets) may not be worth moving. An honest pre-move assessment saves surprises.
How long does a rack relocation take?
A full relocation (disassembly, transport, reassembly) takes roughly 2.5-3x as long as a new installation of the same size. A 1,000-position selective rack system might take 3-4 weeks total — 1 week to disassemble, a few days to transport, and 1.5-2 weeks to reassemble. Plan for overlap time if you need to keep the old facility operating during the transition.

Does rack relocation in Alaska require seismic considerations?

Did you know?

Alaska is so big that if you split it in half, each half would still be the largest US state. Anchorage's airport is a top-5 global cargo hub because it's roughly equidistant from Tokyo and New York by air.
