Our Racking & Shelving Process

At Leavitt Machinery, we know an effective storage system is about more than adding shelves. It is about improving how your facility runs. Our process is designed to deliver racking and shelving solutions that fit your space, your inventory, and your workflow from start to finish.

We start with an on-site visit to understand your operation and evaluate your current storage setup. Our goal is to recommend a solution that improves efficiency, maximizes available space, and supports safe material handling.

  • Experienced guidance: Our team has extensive knowledge of racking systems and warehouse storage requirements, whether you are working in a new space or upgrading an existing layout.
  • Solutions that fit: We take the time to understand your needs so the final setup supports your day-to-day operations and long-term goals.

After the consultation, we develop a layout and detailed drawings to help you clearly visualize the proposed system before anything moves forward.

  • Clear, detailed plans: You will receive drawings and layout information that show how the racking will work within your facility.
  • Built for real facilities: Our designs can align with existing building plans and help ensure the system fits cleanly into your space.

We provide a clear quote so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

  • Transparent pricing: Quotes include a detailed breakdown of components and project costs.

  • Ongoing support: If you need adjustments, expansions, or service in the future, our team is here to help.


Types of Racking

Every warehouse operates differently, which means there is no one-size-fits-all racking solution. At Leavitt Machinery, we take the time to understand your facility layout, inventory profile, product flow, and material handling equipment so we can recommend the right system for your operation. Whether your priority is direct pallet access, higher storage density, or safe storage for oversized materials, we can design a racking solution that supports efficiency, safety, and long-term performance. We can also help you plan for future growth, so your racking system can adapt as your business needs change.

Types of Shelving & Mezzanines

The right shelving and mezzanine system can make a major difference in organization, picking speed, and overall warehouse efficiency. We supply and configure shelving solutions based on your product sizes, weight requirements, and how your team works day to day. From light-duty storage to heavy-duty applications, we help you build a setup that improves accessibility and makes better use of your available space. If you need more capacity without expanding your footprint, we also provide custom mezzanine solutions that convert unused overhead space into practical storage or work areas. Every system is designed with a focus on durability, safety, and long-term reliability.



Racking Disposal & Buyback

Upgrading your storage system, relocating, or replacing your existing racking? Leavitt Machinery offers a straightforward way to sell your used racking and keep your project moving. We buy used racking from businesses across Canada, helping you clear space, recover value, and reduce waste.

If your racking is no longer the right fit, it still has value. Selling your used racking allows you to recover part of your original investment and redirect that budget toward upgrades that support your current operation.
Selling used racking instead of disposing of it helps reduce waste and supports a more sustainable industry. We work to refurbish and reuse racking whenever possible, extending its service life and minimizing environmental impact.
Our team makes the process easy. We can assist with evaluation, coordination, and removal so you can avoid delays and downtime. You will receive a clear assessment and a competitive offer based on the condition and type of racking.
Whether you have a small quantity to remove or a full warehouse system, we can support your timeline and requirements. We work with you to ensure the process is efficient and aligned with your facility schedule.
