Rack Supported Building

The stow Silo is a cost-efficient storage solution where the racking is also the load-bearing construction of the warehouse.

Rack Supported Buildings can afford savings on the expense of the architectural and conventional construction costs, the roof and the exterior walls are fixed directly onto the rack structure. The racking is thus not only subject to the loads of the pallets, stacker cranes and conveyors, but also to external forces such as wind and snow.

Correctly, the Rack Supported Building will be engineered to be the highest and most efficient design, and our team will vet those calculations to meet your environmental loads and seismic zone requirements. Each particular design is worked on with the type, weight and size of the load kept firmly in mind. A Rack Supported Building is considered equipment and may be subject to the tax advantages of accelerated depreciation and write-offs. The amount of construction cost that can benefit from accelerated depreciation should be discussed with your tax professional for advice.
