Pallet Flow Rack and Pallet Racks in Amado, AZ

Pallet flow rack in Amado, AZ serves the large greenhouse operations that pack tomatoes year-round. Pallet flow keeps packed product rotating out of the cooler in the order it went in.

Pallet racks for the area's small farm-supply buildings are a different job: low clear and tight floors.

Greenhouse Produce Packing and Cold Storage

Packing lines burn through cases, trays, labels and pallets. Selective pallet racks near the line keep those supplies within a short forklift trip.

Beam levels follow bundle heights, and wire decking keeps loose cartons from slipping.

Existing commercial buildings here are small, with farm-and-feed warehouses around 4,800 SF and about 15 ft ceilings. That height allows two beam levels plus the floor for most bagged feed and seed.

Fencing, pipe and lumber go outside on cantilever rack, sized to length and planned around monsoon wind.

Amado sits on I-19 between Green Valley and Nogales, at the Arivaca Rd interchange (exit 48) and exit 42 near the Border Patrol checkpoint. Salcido Ranch offers about 610 acres at exit 42, including 27 freeway-visible acres zoned M-1.

Frames go up anchored to the floor, set by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. Rio Rico and Green Valley are next door, and moves are covered by warehouse relocation.

A packing house cooler runs on the packing schedule. Pallets come off the line in bursts and leave by truck in batches.

We size lane depth to the number of pallets per SKU in a normal batch. Lanes that run too deep sit half-empty; lanes too short force overflow onto the floor.

Pallet weight sets roller pitch and brake spacing. Wet or damaged pallet bottoms can hang up on rollers, so we ask what pallets you use.

In smaller farm-supply buildings with about 15 ft ceilings, beam levels go to the heights of your bagged loads. Two levels plus the floor is common.

You get a CAD drawing and an itemized quote with lead time confirmed. Flow lanes are high-density parts; standard teardrop frames may qualify for the 48-hour quick ship program.

Farm-supply yards along I-19 store fencing, posts, pipe and lumber outside. Cantilever arms keep those items sorted by length and off the ground.

Outdoor runs here face full sun and monsoon wind and dust from June 15 through September 30. We pick finishes for that exposure and talk through load restraints for the windiest months.

Installs in the cooler and the yard are scheduled separately, so packing does not stop while the yard is built.

Greenhouse operators sometimes hold seedling trays, growing media and packaging in a dry building beside the cooler. Selective rack with wire decking handles all three on the same frames.
