Solution: Choosing DACO to create a Rack Supported Building offered Apple King an innovative approach to meet their storage and operational needs. This solution allowed them to utilize the pallet racking system not just for storage but as the fundamental support structure of the entire building. By extending the pallet racks from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, they achieved maximum storage density while maintaining structural stability. The racks were enclosed with durable walls and ceilings, creating a seamless integration that protected their inventory from external elements.

The design of the Rack Supported Building also facilitated the integration of essential features such as a shipping dock, office space, and mechanical room within the same structure. This consolidation streamlined operations and logistics management, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing operational costs associated with separate facilities.

Benefits: The implementation of the Rack Supported Building solution delivered significant benefits to Apple King. Firstly, it provided a substantial increase in cold storage capacity without expanding the footprint of the facility, thereby optimizing land use and reducing construction costs. Secondly, the integrated design enhanced operational efficiency by centralizing storage and administrative functions under one roof, minimizing travel distances and improving workflow.

Additionally, the structural integrity provided by the pallet racking system ensured durability and longevity, offering a sustainable solution that met Apple King’s long-term storage needs. The completed project not only met but exceeded their expectations, establishing a versatile and efficient facility that supported their growth and operational objectives effectively.
