Building on Container System’s Legacy

Wolter’s acquisition of CSI Materials Handling (CSI) in 2026 marked a significant expansion of our service capabilities in the Chicago industrial storage & handling sector. Established with a focus on industrial pallet racking solutions, CSI had earned a reputation for delivering top-tier sales & service programs, ensuring optimal equipment performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wolter offers multiple pallet racking and industrial storage options, including selective pallet racking, drive-in pallet racking, VNA pallet racking, push-back racking, pallet flow systems, cantilever racking, carton flow, and other warehouse storage solutions. The right system depends on your product mix, pallet volume, lift truck type, facility layout, and throughput goals.

Yes. Wolter provides warehouse layout and design services from our Downers Grove, IL location for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturers, and industrial facilities throughout Northern Illinois and the greater Chicago area. Our experienced sales team is equipped to provide full turnkey solutions, beginning with design and continuing through project completion.

Our team helps evaluate your facility layout, pallet storage needs, product flow, aisle spacing, forklift traffic, rack configuration, safety requirements, and future growth plans to create a more efficient warehouse operation. We can help design layouts for selective pallet racking, drive-in racking, VNA pallet racking, push-back racking, pallet flow systems, cantilever racking, mezzanines, conveyors, automation, and other material handling solutions.

Because Wolter also supports forklifts, warehouse equipment, pallet racking, service, parts, and automation, we can help ensure your storage system, lift trucks, and facility workflow are designed to work together safely and efficiently from initial concept through final installation.

Yes. Wolter provides warehouse pallet rack installation throughout the Chicago area, including Downers Grove, Naperville, Bolingbrook, Aurora, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Joliet, and surrounding Northern Illinois communities. Our team can manage any project large or small, ranging from work bench assembly to large warehouse pallet rack installations.

Yes. Wolter will always have a project manager, sales manager, or installation lead onsite during the pallet rack installation phase. For Chicago-area warehouse racking projects, this onsite support helps keep the installation organized, ensures the work follows the approved layout and project scope, and gives your team a direct point of contact throughout the install.

Having a Wolter representative onsite also helps improve communication between installers, facility contacts, and project stakeholders, reducing confusion and helping the warehouse racking installation stay on track.

Yes. Wolter can help inspect damaged pallet racking, identify unsafe components, and recommend repair or replacement options. Rack damage should be addressed quickly because bent uprights, damaged beams, missing safety clips, or overloaded sections can create serious safety risks inside a warehouse.

Yes. Wolter helps Chicago-area businesses improve warehouse storage, organization, safety, and material flow with solutions beyond traditional pallet racking. In addition to selective rack, drive-in rack, push-back rack, pallet flow, carton flow, and cantilever racking, Wolter can support a wide range of storage and facility solutions, including vertical lift modules, high-density mobile pallet racking, AS/RS systems, long goods storage, die and mold storage systems, mezzanines, in-plant offices, work platforms and crossovers, security fencing, security cages, storage cabinets, lockers, machine guarding, and industrial containers.

Our team can evaluate your facility layout, inventory mix, picking process, available floor space, clear height, equipment traffic, safety requirements, and growth plans to recommend the right solution for your operation. Whether you need to maximize vertical space, increase storage density, improve order picking efficiency, protect valuable inventory, separate work areas, or create a safer and more organized warehouse, Wolter can help design a system that supports your workflow.

Yes. One of the key advantages of working with Wolter is that we understand both pallet racking systems and the forklifts that operate within them. Racking design should never happen in isolation, it needs to account for the equipment types used in the facility.

Wolter can help align your warehouse rack layout, aisle widths, lift heights, turning requirements, load capacities, and equipment selection so your storage system and material handling fleet work together efficiently. By using one provider for both forklifts and racking system, you reduce the risk of layout conflicts, equipment limitations, costly redesigns, and operational inefficiencies.

The result is a more coordinated warehouse solution built around how your team actually moves, stores, and handles product every day.

Wolter is now hiring shop and field technicians, sales associates, service and rental administrators, parts counter personnel, office and corporate administration, truck drivers, and more! See our open positions & apply online today.
