- Safety and impact protection: Column guards, post protectors, and end-of-aisle guardrails designed to reduce forklift and equipment damage.
- Seismic anchoring: Heavy-duty anchors and engineered base plates that distribute forces and help meet stringent California seismic and building code requirements.
Available Racking Styles
ATB stocks multiple rack construction styles so you can align system performance with budget, environment, and load requirements:
- Roll formed pallet racking: The go-to choice for most warehouses, using standard teardrop connections for fast reconfiguration and economical expansion. Compatible with both traditional Tear-Drop and New Style designs.
- Structural steel racking: Built from hot-rolled structural channels, ideal for very heavy loads, high-traffic operations, and demanding or abusive environments.
- Cantilever racking: An open-front arm-and-column system tailored for long or irregular materials such as lumber, steel tubing, pipe, and furniture that do not fit conventional pallets.
Leading Brand Compatibility
Whether you are expanding an existing system or matching a current layout, ATB can integrate with or source components from most major rack manufacturers, including:
- Interlake (Mecalux)
- Nucor
- Spacerack
Additional compatible brands and manufacturers are available upon request, allowing seamless mix-and-match or replacement in many facilities.
Standard Sizes and Custom Engineering
ATB maintains a broad range of common rack sizes for quick shipment while also offering engineered-to-order configurations for unique building layouts or load conditions.
Common component dimensions include:
- Upright depths: 42 inch standard, with 36 inch, 44 inch, and 48 inch options to accommodate various pallet sizes and overhang preferences.
- Upright heights: Typical frame heights include 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft, 20 ft, and 24 ft, with custom-engineered options available for systems reaching 30 ft and beyond.
- Beam lengths (bay width): 48 inch, 96 inch (standard 2-pallet bay), 108 inch, 120 inch, and 144 inch for 3-pallet bays and wider storage spans.
- Wire deck sizes: 42 in x 46 in and 42 in x 52 in, specifically configured for standard 42 in deep upright frames.
If your facility requires non-standard clear heights, special load capacities, or unique footprint constraints, ATB’s engineering team can design and source custom rack dimensions tailored to your exact specifications.

Seamless Turnkey Services: From Concept to Permitting
Setting up or modifying a warehouse in Southern California requires navigating stringent local codes, high seismic structural requirements, and demanding construction timelines. ATB Material Handling manages the entire operational pipeline so your leadership team can focus on core logistics.
Our Standard Implementation Process
- Operational Assessment & CAD Design (Phase 1): Our facility engineers analyze your floor plan, slab capacity, clear heights, and forklift capabilities. We then generate precise CAD layouts to maximize your storage capacity while maintaining safe egress paths.
- Seismic Engineering & Permitting Support (Phase 2): Riverside sits within a highly active seismic region. We handle the necessary structural calculations and coordinate with local municipal agencies to secure structural permits that meet City of Riverside and California Building Code (CBC) compliance.
- Delivery & Professional Installation (Phase 3): Our licensed, insured, and experienced pallet rack installers assemble and anchor your systems. Every upright, beam, wire deck, and safety column protector is installed to precise tolerances for total peace of mind.
Sustainable Warehouse Decommissioning & Liquidations
Closing, downsizing, or relocating a warehouse facility comes with tight lease-end deadlines and strict “broom-clean” structural handback requirements. Landlords often demand that facilities are returned exactly as they were delivered—meaning all racks, anchor bolts, and specialized machinery must be completely removed without damaging the concrete slab.
ATB Material Handling specializes in environmentally responsible warehouse decommissioning. We don’t just tear down your equipment; we manage a comprehensive, structured teardown that prioritizes asset recovery.
Surplus Asset Buy-Backs: If your existing pallet racks, cantilevers, mezzanines, or forklifts still hold market value, ATB can buy back your surplus materials. We credit that value directly against your decommissioning costs, frequently offsetting the total price of the teardown.

The Riverside Quote Fast-Track Process
To turn your quote around as quickly as possible—often within 24 to 48 hours for standard layouts—we ideally need a few baseline details about your facility. If you already have a CAD file, architectural layout, or just rough sketches with site photos, sending them over accelerates our design team’s turnaround time.
Key Details Needed for Your Custom Quote
Detail | Why It Matters |
Physical Dimensions | Your exact clear ceiling height, column spacing, and overall square footage determines your maximum vertical tier potential. |
Pallet Profiles | The precise width, depth, height, and maximum weight of your loaded pallets dictates beam lengths, upright capacities, and safety metrics. |
Forklift Capabilities | Your forklift’s maximum reach and minimum turning radius dictate the required width of your aisles (e.g., standard vs. narrow aisle setup). |
Slab Specifications | Your concrete floor thickness (typically 6″ or 8″ in modern Inland Empire hubs) determines the safe weight distribution and anchoring style. |
Factoring in Riverside Seismic Requirements
Because Riverside sits in an active seismic zone, any pallet racking exceeding 8 feet in height must feature engineered footprints and anchor depths matching local code. We provide full, stamped structural engineering calculations specifically tailored to your facility’s exact coordinates to ensure a smooth permit approval process with the city.

Frequently Asked Questions
Riverside falls into a high seismic design category according to California Building Codes. Any storage rack system taller than 8 feet requires structural engineering calculations, specific anchor bolt depths, and oversized footplates. ATB Material Handling works directly with structural engineers to provide stamped calculations ensuring your configurations safely withstand regional seismic forces.
While some styles are physically interchangeable (such as teardrop styles from different manufacturers), mixing components can invalidate the original manufacturer’s weight capacity ratings and complicate your city building permits. Our team carefully inspects your existing profile to ensure any added used components safely match and maintain uniform structural integrity.
Plan check timelines vary depending on municipal backlog, but securing a structural rack permit typically takes anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. Because we manage the CAD design, engineering calculations, and corrections under one roof, we significantly streamline this timeline for local projects.
Our comprehensive decommissioning service includes the systematic dismantling of all racking and shelving, removal of floor anchors, grinding down anchor studs flat to the slab, filling the remaining holes with industrial epoxy, and transporting all cleared materials offsite. We leave your facility in a pristine, lease-compliant, “broom-clean” state.
Yes. Through our surplus asset buy-back program, we actively purchase large quantities of used pallet racks, cantilevers, mezzanines, and industrial rolling stock. If the equipment meets structural safety standards, we will provide a competitive market valuation and offset it directly against your decommissioning fees or purchase it outright.
