Agricultural storage warehousing uses racking systems sized for the real loads of a farming operation, from palletized seed, fertilizer, and chemical inputs to oversized and irregular product like lumber, pipe, irrigation components, and equipment. These facilities must handle heavy and seasonal loads, high humidity, non-standard buildings, and food safety compliance for post-harvest storage, alongside specialized vertical farming grow racks where controlled-environment growing is involved.
What We Understand
The Challenges Specific to Agriculture & Vertical Farming
Oversized and Irregular Agricultural Product
Lumber, pipe, farm equipment, irrigation components, and bulk bags don't fit standard pallet rack bays. Agricultural storage systems have to be specified for actual product dimensions and weight, not a generic pallet profile.
Non-Standard Facilities and Seasonal Patterns
Agricultural storage facilities often occupy older buildings with uneven floors, non-standard column spacing, and limited ceiling height. Agricultural inputs arrive seasonally, so capacity has to flex. All of this requires design that accounts for the actual conditions, not a template.
Specialized Engineering for Vertical Farming
Where the operation includes controlled-environment growing, vertical grow racks need to support precise lighting, irrigation, and environmental control systems while maximizing growing area per sq ft. That integration between racking structure, growing technology, and facility infrastructure is its own engineering discipline.
Our Approach
Built for What You're Actually Storing and Growing
We design and install agricultural storage racking sized for what a farming operation actually keeps on hand. Cantilever rack handles lumber, pipe, irrigation equipment, and long-format product. Selective and drive-in configurations handle palletized inputs, seed, fertilizer, and bulk commodity storage. We design for your actual loads and dimensions, not a generic catalog configuration.
For operations that also run controlled-environment growing, we design mobile grow rack systems with integrated support for lighting, irrigation, and environmental controls, so vertical farms maximize growing area while keeping full access during planting and harvesting.
We handle all permitting with your local jurisdiction, including any requirements specific to agricultural storage, chemical storage classifications, and fire suppression requirements.

Storage Solutions We Commonly Install for Agriculture & Vertical Farming
Cantilever Rack
Open-arm design for lumber, pipe, irrigation equipment, and other long or irregularly shaped agricultural materials that don't fit standard pallet rack bays.

Selective Pallet Racks
Direct access pallet storage for seed, fertilizer, chemical inputs, and packaged agricultural products, adjustable beam heights for variable pallet profiles.

Drive-In Racks
High-density lane storage for large quantities of the same product, ideal for bulk seasonal input storage where last-in, first-out access is acceptable.

What This Looks Like in Practice
50,000 sq ft vertical farming facility in Southern California : mobile grow rack systems supporting three tiers of growing area with integrated lighting and irrigation infrastructure, mobile base system maximizes growing area while providing full access for planting and harvesting operations.
Agricultural facilities are rarely purpose-built for racking. You get uneven floors, non-standard ceiling heights, and access points that weren't designed for forklifts. We take real field measurements and design around what's actually there, because a layout from a spec sheet won't survive first contact with the building.
