Cantilever Rack and Yard Racking in Picacho, AZ

Cantilever rack in Picacho, AZ goes into rail and interstate yards where material sits outside. Cantilever pallet rack carries long loads and, with decking, pallets too.

Selective pallet racks handle indoor storage for the same sites.

Rail and I-10 Yard Layouts

Outside storage gets full sun all summer and monsoon wind and dust from June 15 to September 30. Finishes, roof options and load restraints are part of the layout, not an afterthought.

Arm length follows load depth, arm count follows deflection, and column bases follow total weight per side.

Palletized freight and supplies go on selective pallet racks inside, with beam levels set to clear height and the heaviest pallet.

Union Pacific has pursued a roughly 900–950 acre classification yard on state trust land near Picacho Peak, and county officials pitch the area as a logistics hub that combines rail, I-10 freight and air. We plan for the buildings that exist today.

Air from Pinal Airpark adds parts storage needs for aircraft work nearby. Shelving, wire-decked rack and carton flow handle boxed parts and consumables.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage install everything, anchored to the floor. See Red Rock and Eloy, or warehouse relocation.

Open yards here take full sun and sudden wind. We pick finishes for the exposure and talk through a roof if material needs cover.

Column height follows how high your forklift or sideloader can safely place a bundle. Arm count follows the length and stiffness of the material.

Pipe gets arm stops so it does not roll off. Lumber gets closer arm spacing so it does not bow.

Bases need clear space beside them for the truck to approach squarely, so aisle width is set by the truck and the longest load.

The itemized quote covers columns, arms, braces, decking, finish, freight and installation, with lead time confirmed. Indoor pallet rack can qualify for the 48-hour quick ship program for standard pallet rack components.

Sites near exits 211, 212 and 219 receive by truck from I-10, and some by rail along the Sunset Route. We stage cantilever columns and arms beside each run so crews set them without long carries.

Summer installs start at first light because of the heat. Monsoon storms can stop outdoor work, so storm days are built into the schedule.

Indoor pallet rack goes in on days when yard work is paused, keeping the job moving.

Aircraft parts from Pinal Airpark work often come in odd sizes. Shelving with adjustable levels and wire-decked rack absorb that variety better than fixed bins. Long panels and tube go on single-sided cantilever along a wall.

Every bay on the indoor rows gets a load plaque showing its rated capacity. Cantilever runs get plaques per side, so drivers know what each arm level carries before they set a bundle on it. If you later change what you store, call us and we recheck the ratings against the new loads.
