Rack Relocation in California
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. California is the largest warehouse market in the US by a wide margin. The Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) alone has more than 1.5 billion square feet of warehouse space. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handle roughly 40% of all US container imports, feeding a massive network of distribution centers stretching east through the IE.
