Configure Material Handling & Racking Systems

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.

Build the Whole System, Bay by Bay

Capacity, dimensions, and structure validated as you configure

⚖️

Load Capacity

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.

📏

Bay Dimensions

Set upright height, bay width, and depth from your pallet footprint and clearances. Beam length, frame depth, and elevations are derived automatically.

🗂️

Beam Tiers

Add or remove storage levels and the tool recalculates beam quantities, elevations, and capacity per level, keeping every run consistent across the layout.

🔲

Decking Options

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.

🌎

Seismic Rating

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.

🛡️

Protection & Accessories

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.

Why Storage System Providers Configure

Faster quotes, structurally sound every time

⏱️

Layout Quotes in Minutes

Configure dozens of bays and multiple runs in one session instead of building a takeoff by hand for every project.

🏗️

No Overloaded Components

Capacity and deflection rules guarantee the beams and uprights you quote actually support the load you promised.

📋

Accurate Bills of Material

Beams, uprights, decking, footplates, and hardware are counted automatically across the entire system, eliminating shortfalls on the install.

🤝

Empower Dealers

Let dealers and reps configure compliant systems on their own using a visual configurator without an engineer on every call.
