Pallet Racks in Riverside, CA

Racking for Riverside warehouses

Riverside is a county seat before it is a distribution town, and the storage work looks different for it. The biggest employers are the county, the air reserve base, the university, the health system, hospitals, a grocery chain and an aircraft component manufacturer, among others. That means central supply rooms, campus stores, food distribution and parts storage more than a floor of fulfillment pallets.

Operations like those hold small parts in quantity and full pallets in modest numbers, so the room ends up mixed rather than uniform. Selective rack for what arrives palletized, long-span shelving for small parts, cantilever for bar stock, tube, extrusions and similar long material, a mezzanine when a tenant needs more floor and cannot get more building, and whatever else the stock calls for. Beam pitch runs tight low down where hands are picking and opens up where a forklift is putting away.

Traceability changes the priority in a way density never accounts for. In an aerospace or medical storeroom a part has to be findable by lot number, not by description alone, so fixed, addressed locations beat squeezing in another row. We draw to a location scheme the client can count on, keep parts that look alike apart, and leave empty positions on purpose, because a room filled to its maximum pallet count has nowhere to put next year’s part number.

We file with the city and with the fire department as part of the work, so the permitting does not land back on you.
