A material handling configurator lets storage system providers build a complete racking layout by entering load capacity, bay dimensions, beam tiers, decking and seismic requirements, then produce a structurally valid quote instantly. No more spreadsheets, mismatched beams, or undersized uprights.
Capacity, dimensions, and structure validated as you configure
Enter pallet weight and pallets per level. The configurator sizes beams and uprights to meet per-level and per-bay capacity while respecting deflection limits.
Set upright height, bay width, and depth from your pallet footprint and clearances. Beam length, frame depth, and elevations are derived automatically.
Add or remove storage levels and the tool recalculates beam quantities, elevations, and capacity per level, keeping every run consistent across the layout.
Choose wire mesh, solid steel, or no decking, plus pallet supports and row spacers. Quantities scale with bay count and feed straight into the BOM.
Specify the seismic design category and the configurator adjusts upright gauge, base plates, anchors, and bracing so the system is compliant for its install location.
Add column guards, end-of-aisle protectors, and rack guards. Safety components are positioned by run and rolled into the quote with no manual counting.
Faster quotes, structurally sound every time
Configure dozens of bays and multiple runs in one session instead of building a takeoff by hand for every project.
Capacity and deflection rules guarantee the beams and uprights you quote actually support the load you promised.
Beams, uprights, decking, footplates, and hardware are counted automatically across the entire system, eliminating shortfalls on the install.
Let dealers and reps configure compliant systems on their own using a visual configurator without an engineer on every call.
Connect racking configuration to your business systems
Racking is a great fit for a manufacturing configurator approach, and you can also build it as a custom product builder for self-service buyers.
