Warehouse Racking in South Tucson, AZ

Warehouse racking in South Tucson, AZ is mostly retrofit work in older, lower-clear buildings near the I-10 / I-19 junction. Pallet racks get fitted around columns, low trusses and yard doors rather than laid out on an open floor.

Contractors, auto users and building-supply businesses make up most of the southside demand.

Retrofitting Older Low-Clear Buildings

Fenced yards here hold pipe, lumber, steel and building supply. Cantilever rack gets that material off the ground and sorted by length.

Outdoor runs need finishes for the sun and planning for monsoon wind and flash flooding.

Auto-parts users mix pallets, boxed parts and tires. Wire-decked rack levels and shelving handle the boxes, while pallet levels sit below.

Contractors usually want a few bays of pallet rack near the door and long stock on cantilever in the yard.

South Tucson is surrounded by Tucson just south of downtown. Kino Parkway runs from Tucson International Airport to downtown, with a Union Pacific train yard near Kino and 22nd Street.

Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage do retrofits around your operation, anchored to the floor. Outgrowing the building? Our warehouse relocation team plans the move; see also Flowing Wells.

Older buildings rarely match their drawings. We measure clear height at several points, because trusses, lights and heaters sit at different heights.

Column spacing sets bay widths. Where a standard beam will not fit, we mix lengths in the same row so frames land clear of columns.

Floor drains, door tracks and heaters affect where frames can sit. Those go on the drawing before rows do.

In buildings near 16–20 ft clear, three beam levels plus the floor is typical. A reach truck can tighten aisles if the building allows it.

The CAD layout shows the position count, and the itemized quote lists rack, decking, cantilever, freight and installation. Regular uprights and beams can go out under our 48-hour quick ship program for standard pallet rack components.

Many southside buildings have fenced yards that see as much traffic as the warehouse. Cantilever runs along the fence line keep pipe, lumber and steel sorted while leaving the center open for trucks.

Monsoon storms can bring flash flooding, so outdoor runs are placed away from low spots where water collects.

Indoor rows are installed while the yard keeps working, in phases planned around your deliveries.

Building-supply users near Kino Parkway often mix bagged goods, boxed fixtures and long material. Selective rack with wire decking takes the first two; cantilever takes the third.

Some southside tenants run a forklift indoors and a different truck in the yard. We set indoor aisles for the indoor truck and yard lanes for the other, so neither has to squeeze. Rows near doors are guarded with end-of-aisle protection where trucks turn.
