Installation in the Lehigh Valley

Timeline scales with scope. A small install of 20–30 bays typically takes 1–3 days. A 200+ bay system for a large Allentown or Bethlehem 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 Lehigh Valley installs are scheduled within the same week you call, assuming rack is in stock.

Yes. We handle Building, Fire, and in some jurisdictions MEP permits across the full Lehigh Valley — including the City of Allentown Bureau of Building Standards and Safety, the municipal building code office, City of Easton Bureau of Codes and Inspections, City of Bethlehem Bureau of Code Enforcement, the Northampton County township code offices, the Slate Belt borough code offices, and other county agencies across Lehigh County, Northampton County, and the Slate Belt. Most require stamped engineering drawings for systems above 8 ft tall or above specified PSF loads. 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 the Lehigh Valley. 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 defense-contractor applications in Allentown and Bethlehem, 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 Lehigh Valley 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. Lehigh Valley Pallet Racking provides fixed-price quotes after a free site walk, and every number is fixed in writing after a free site walk.
