High-Bay Racking & Racking Based Pick Module in Tennessee

Pallet Racking In Warehouse Wide View

When GOVX, a fast-growing business in La Vergne, Tennessee (just outside of Nashville), planned a move to a new warehouse facility, they came to Prestige looking for ways to maximize space, improve efficiency, and future-proof their operations. They had clear goals: to upgrade their storage systems, increase space utilization, and streamline workflows in a way that would support future growth.

Warehouse Design Challenges & Goals

GOVX was relocating from an existing warehouse to a new building just across the street. With the move, they saw an opportunity to overhaul their entire material handling and warehouse storage strategy. During an on-site consultation, our team evaluated the space and discussed key priorities:

  • Install high-bay racking for full-size pallet storage
  • Improve small parts picking processes with a more dynamic solution
  • Ensure the entire system could be expanded as operations grew

Experience Center Visit & Live System Walkthrough

As part of the discovery process, the customer visited our Experience Center in Chattanooga. This hands-on visit allowed their team to see and interact with a wide range of solutions firsthand—including high-bay racking systems, industrial shelving, and our semi-automated Modula Vertical Lift Module (VLM).

We walked them through various layout options, demonstrated equipment in action, and discussed how different systems could be integrated into their new facility. This collaborative, in-person approach helped them visualize potential layouts and ensured confidence in the solutions we proposed.

To further illustrate how their system would look and function once installed, we took them to visit an existing facility where a similar solution was already in use. Seeing the equipment in a live, operational environment helped solidify their vision and allowed for deeper discussions about layout, flow, and long-term planning.

Custom Warehouse Storage System Design

We began with an initial drawing provided by the customer and worked through multiple design iterations to tailor the solution. The final layout included a hybrid of 28’ tall selective pallet racking and a custom-engineered modular pick module structure. This approach ensured the space could support both large palletized items and smaller, high-turnover SKUs without compromising floor efficiency or future adaptability.

Two-Zone Pick Module for Dynamic Storage

The pick module included two distinct areas:

  • Fixed-Aisle Two-Level Racking Zone: Designed for efficiency, this area featured fixed aisles on both levels, supporting high-volume picking and organized storage.
  • Flexible Dancefloor Zone: This area had fixed aisles below and a completely open upper level, allowing the customer to reconfigure the space over time. From modular offices to wire partitions and additional shelving, this flexible layout gives them the freedom to evolve the space as their needs change.

Though the initial phase included only the lower level, the entire structure was seismically engineered to support 125 PSF on the upper level. The customer chose to hold off on outfitting the second level for now, but they plan to engage with us again soon for Phase 2 of the buildout.

Maximizing Vertical Space

In addition to the pick module, we installed 40 sections of 28-foot-tall selective pallet racking. This high-bay system takes full advantage of the facility’s vertical space, allowing the customer to store full-size pallets while keeping aisles clear and operations flowing smoothly.

Key Project Specifications

  • 40 sections of 28′ high selective pallet racking
  • 90 sections of custom modular pick module racking
  • Engineered upper level supporting 125 PSF
  • Flexible design for future offices, storage, or enclosed spaces
  • Custom layout optimized for pallet storage and small parts picking

Why Modular Warehouse Storage Systems Matter

This project highlights why we believe in designing warehouse storage systems that evolve with our customers. By choosing modular, scalable solutions, the customer benefits from:

  • Increased picking efficiency
  • Better use of space
  • Safer and more streamlined workflows
  • Infrastructure that can grow with them

Modular systems provide the flexibility to scale your operations without major overhauls. Whether you’re adding new SKUs, changing product categories, or reconfiguring work areas, a well-designed modular layout adapts with minimal disruption. This adaptability protects your investment, enhances operational continuity, and allows your team to stay focused on productivity—even as your business evolves.
