Cantilever Rack and Pallet Racks in Benson, AZ

Cantilever rack in Benson, AZ sits mostly at rail-served sites, where lumber, pipe and building products come off the short line. Cantilever warehouse racking keeps those loads organized and reachable from the side.

Pallet racks cover the ag-supply and freight-hub warehousing in town.

Rail Transload and Cantilever Storage

Most of this storage is outside. That means galvanized or painted finishes, roofed runs where needed, and attention to monsoon wind and dust from mid-June through September.

We set arm spacing so lumber does not bow and pipe does not roll, and we look at load restraints for bundles sitting in the open.

A bulk transload terminal on the short line handles chemicals and fertilizer-plant products. Bagged and drummed product moves on pallets into selective pallet racks sized to heavy, dense loads.

Seasonal ag stock often comes in deep on few SKUs, where pushback rack saves aisles.

Benson sits on I-10 about 45 miles east of Tucson where State Routes 80 and 90 meet the interstate. The I-10 / SR-90 interchange at exit 302 is the link to Sierra Vista and carries about 23% truck traffic. The city is a designated Opportunity Zone, less than two hours from two ports of entry.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage do the install, anchored to the floor. See Willcox and Sierra Vista nearby, or warehouse relocation for moves.

Transload yards work in two directions: product comes off railcars and goes onto trucks. The rack sits between those two moves.

We draw the spur, the truck lanes and the forklift paths first. Cantilever runs go parallel to the track so bundles move the shortest distance from car to arm.

Lumber bundles need arms close enough to stop bowing. Pipe needs arm stops so it does not roll. Building products in mixed lengths often need a column spacing that suits the shortest piece.

For bagged chemicals and fertilizer, selective rack goes indoors with beams sized to the heaviest pallet. Decking choice depends on whether bags overhang.

You receive a CAD layout with yard and building zones, and an itemized quote with lead time confirmed. Standard teardrop pallet rack can ship through our 48-hour quick ship program for standard pallet rack components.

Yard work runs early in the day in summer, and monsoon storms can halt outdoor work with little notice. We schedule cantilever runs around railcar arrivals and keep staging close to the spur.

Indoor selective rows go in on days when the yard is too windy for work outside.

Ag-supply buildings near the SR-80 and SR-90 junction often carry feed in bags and seed in totes. Beam levels follow the tote height, and wire decking catches bags that shift. Capacities are posted on each bay.
