Frequently Asked Questions

What types of material handling equipment do you supply in Baltimore?

We supply wire mesh decking, column protectors, end-of-aisle guards, pallet supports, row spacers, rack dividers, safety netting, conveyor systems, lift tables, pallet jacks, drum handlers, dock plates, dock levelers, and a full range of warehouse mobility and safety accessories for Baltimore metro businesses.

Do you install the material handling equipment you sell?

Yes. For items requiring installation — conveyor systems, lift tables, mezzanines, and modular offices — our team handles the complete installation. For standard rack accessories like wire decking and column guards, we can install as part of a larger project or provide guidance for your team to install independently.

Can you source equipment from multiple manufacturers?

Yes. We work with a network of suppliers and are not tied to a single manufacturer's product line. This allows us to match the right product to your specific application and budget, rather than fitting your needs to what one vendor happens to carry.

Do you supply wire decking for existing rack systems?

Yes. Wire mesh decking is one of the most commonly requested accessories, and we stock and supply it in standard sizes for all major racking systems. We can also source custom sizes for non-standard beam configurations common in older Baltimore-area warehouse installations.

Signs Your Baltimore Warehouse Needs New MHE or Accessories

Forklift impact damage is recurring in the same aisles — column protectors and end-of-aisle guards are overdue
Wire decking is missing from bays holding small cartons or non-palletized inventory, slowing pick speed
Pallets are overhanging beams — pallet supports or flow rails would eliminate the drop risk
Dock is damaging trailers or loads — dock seals, bumpers, or a leveler replacement is needed
Picking speed is limited by manual conveyance between zones — gravity or powered conveyor would unlock throughput
Drum or chemical containment is inadequate for FDA, OSHA, or Maryland Department of the Environment compliance
A MOSH or insurance audit identified missing safety netting or fire-code flue space dividers
Sanitation standards require stainless or sealed accessories (food distribution, pharma, biotech)

Material Handling Equipment Compared

Which accessory or piece of equipment you need depends on what the rack is holding and who is touching it. Here is how our team spec's the right product.

Equipment / Accessory	Best For	Key Notes
Wire mesh decking	Mixed-SKU, sprinkler-compliant storage	Fire-code friendly — water passes through to the rack below, standard for most Baltimore DCs
Solid steel decking	Small items, retail back-of-house	Better for small parts but may require sprinkler adjustments — review with AHJ first
Column protectors	High-traffic aisles, dock-adjacent bays	Absorb forklift impact, required at end-of-aisle in high-velocity Baltimore e-commerce DCs
End-of-aisle guards	Dock-adjacent aisle ends	Higher protection level than column wraps — OSHA-recommended for port 3PL operations
Pallet supports	Short pallets, non-palletized loads, returns	Cheap insurance against drops — common add-on for BWI last-mile returns zones
Safety netting	Rack adjacent to pedestrian paths or mezzanines	Required where pickers or visitors walk near high-turnover rack faces
Rack repair kits (column splices)	Mid-range impact damage	Bolt-on column splice — faster and cheaper than full upright replacement for bottom 4 ft damage
Dock levelers & seals	Loading dock upgrades	Energy savings plus trailer protection — common retrofit for older Baltimore industrial buildings
