Pallet Racking Services in Irving, TX

Air cargo, cold chain, and tech distribution each want a different rack spec. Irving is the one DFW city where FAA Part 77 sometimes sets the upper rack height instead of the sprinkler head.

• DFW Airport Freight Zone (SH-183) — 28–36 ft clear, air cargo cross-dock and pharma. Default: selective with short cross-dock lanes + carton flow for pick operations.
• Coppell-adjacent cold-storage belt — 30–40 ft clear refrigerated. Default: galvanized selective, freezer-rated uprights, push-back for FIFO on perishables. Carrollton Valwood bleeds into this zone.
• Freeport Industrial Park / SH-114 — 24–32 ft clear, tech distribution and medical device. Default: narrow-aisle selective + carton flow with wire decking for small-parts pick.
• I-635 / Valley View industrial — 22–28 ft clear older. Default: selective 20–24 ft with selective double-deep on perimeter walls.

Irving permitting runs through City of Irving Development Services for most parcels, but airport-board-owned land adds a second review layer. Four blockers:

• FAA Part 77 imaginary surfaces — certain airport-proximate parcels cap rack-system height via the Part 77 slope, sometimes below the building clear. Confirm before specing uprights.
• DFW Airport Board coordination — airport-owned parcels add a second review in parallel with city plan review; expect 2 extra weeks.
• Cold-storage anchor spec — freezer floors need freezer-rated epoxy anchors, not standard wedge anchors; the cost delta shows up in the installer labor, not the rack material.
• Dallas County SDC B — same seismic as Dallas, so diagonal bracing and full PE stamp required.
