Installation in Greater Houston

Timeline scales with scope. A small install of 20–30 bays typically takes 1–3 days. A 200+ bay system for a large Houston or Baytown distribution center typically runs 1–2 weeks with a full crew. We factor in concrete anchor cure time, any slab remediation, and coordination with your forklift and sprinkler trades. Most Greater Houston installs are scheduled as soon as crew capacity allows, assuming rack is in stock.

Yes. We handle building and fire permits across the metro. Texas has no statewide commercial building-code enforcement agency, so the reviewing office is always local and always follows the parcel: the Houston Permitting Center inside Houston city limits, the Harris County Office of the County Engineer with Harris County Fire Marshal review in unincorporated Harris County, and the relevant city or county office everywhere else — Pasadena, Baytown, La Porte, Deer Park, Katy, Tomball, Humble, Conroe, Stafford, Rosenberg, Pearland, Brookshire and the Fort Bend, Montgomery, Waller, Chambers and Brazoria county offices. Rack drawings generally need to be sealed by a design professional above the jurisdiction’s threshold height and load; we confirm that threshold with the reviewing office for your parcel rather than quoting a single metro-wide figure. We prepare the full submittal package and shepherd it through plan review to permit issuance.

Yes — phased installs are a significant part of what we do across Greater Houston. We schedule noisy or dust-producing work outside pick hours, set barricades, and stage materials so forklift lanes stay clear. Most clients rotate picking to a different zone while we work in a given aisle, then shift back when that zone is released. High-volume fulfillment and food-production operations often require after-hours or weekend scheduling — we accommodate both.

All the major names — Steel King, Interlake Mecalux, UNARCO, Ridg-U-Rak, Unex, Frazier, Tennsco, and others. For heavy-duty port and port and petrochemical applications in Houston and Baytown, we also integrate with regional fabricators for custom cantilever and heavy-beam selective when a load case demands it. We are not tied to a single vendor — we spec what fits your load case, cube target, and budget.

Most Greater Houston selective rack projects land between $50 and $200 per pallet position installed, with labor typically running 15–25% of material cost. A 500-position warehouse commonly totals $40,000–$90,000 all-in. Greater Houston Pallet Racking provides fixed-price quotes after a free site walk, and every number is fixed in writing after a free site walk.

Greater Houston Pallet Racking, a division of Alliance Material Handling, installs pallet racking region-wide — Houston, Pasadena, Baytown, and every warehouse market across Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery Counties. Crews install to ANSI/RMI MH16.1, are licensed and insured, and handle permits end-to-end. Call (832) 924-5573 for a free estimate.
