Warehouse Racking in Ooltewah, TN
Ooltewah sits on I-75 at Exits 9 and 11, right next to Enterprise South and the automotive supplier base along Volkswagen Drive. A lot of local warehouse space exists to feed an assembly line on a schedule.
That puts the focus on getting the right part to the right spot quickly, which shapes how we lay out warehouse racking here.
Line-Side Parts Storage for Auto Suppliers
Supplier buildings often stage parts in returnable containers, totes and half-height pallets. Standard pallet beams spaced for 60 in. loads waste a lot of air above those.
We set beam levels to the container heights you actually run. For small parts, carton flow rack lets pickers pull from the front while material handlers reload from behind.
Full pallets of components go in selective pallet rack, where every position is reachable without moving another load.
Labeling and Layout for Fast Part Picks
Supplier buildings live on accurate picks. We number every bay and level on the drawing so your location labels match the rack before anything is stocked.
Fast parts belong near the shipping dock and at waist height. Slow parts and spares go higher or further back.
We also add rack guarding at row ends where tuggers and forklifts turn, since those corners take the most hits.
Getting the Most From 20-24 ft Flex Space
Flex and light-industrial buildings around Exit 11 commonly have 20 to 24 ft clear. That typically yields three or four beam levels, depending on load height.
In flex space, office build-outs and dock positions eat floor. We fit rows around both and keep a clear path from the dock to the pick area.
- Three or four levels in most 20-24 ft buildings
- Wire decking for totes and loose cartons
- Row-end guards where traffic turns
Fast Installs When a Contract Starts
Supplier and e-commerce tenants often sign a lease with a start date already set. We build the install schedule backward from that date and phase it so racking near the docks goes in first.
Our team handles the permit side for you.
Ooltewah's Industrial Parks
Hamilton County built the Ooltewah Industrial Park, 37 acres and its first, plus the 31-acre Mountain View Industrial Park off Mountain View Road. Both are full today.
Regional e-commerce distribution and food production round out local demand. Food users may want pallet flow rack for date rotation; e-commerce users lean on carton flow and shelving for each picking.
What to Send for an Ooltewah Layout
Container sizes, part counts, clear height and dock positions get a supplier layout started. Flex tenants should include office walls and any shared areas.
We return a CAD drawing showing every bay and level, plus an itemized quote. If your launch date is fixed, tell us up front so the install schedule works back from it.
Expansion rows can be shown dashed on the same drawing, so a second contract slots straight in.
