Agriculture and vertical farming storage requires specialized racking systems including vertical grow racks, mobile carriages for controlled-environment growing, and cold storage solutions for harvested produce. These facilities must accommodate heavy loads, high humidity, and compliance with food safety standards for post-harvest storage and processing.
What We Understand
The Challenges Specific to Agriculture & Vertical Farming
Unique Engineering for Vertical Farming
Vertical grow racks need to support precise lighting, irrigation, and environmental control systems while maximizing growing area per sq ft. The integration between racking structure, growing technology, and facility infrastructure creates unique engineering challenges that standard warehouse racking suppliers aren't equipped to address.
Oversized and Irregular Traditional Agriculture Product
Lumber, pipe, farm equipment, irrigation components, and bulk bags don't fit standard pallet rack bays. Storage systems have to be specified for actual product dimensions and weight, not a generic pallet profile.
Non-Standard Facilities and Seasonal Patterns
Agricultural facilities often occupy older buildings with uneven floors, non-standard column spacing, and limited ceiling height. Vertical farms operate in purpose-built controlled environments. Agricultural inputs arrive seasonally. All of these require design that accounts for the actual conditions, not a template.
Our Approach
Built for What You're Actually Growing and Storing
We design and install racking systems for both traditional agriculture storage and modern vertical farming operations. For vertical farms, we design mobile grow rack systems with integrated support for lighting, irrigation, and environmental controls. Mobile base systems maximize growing area while providing access during planting and harvesting operations.
For traditional agriculture, cantilever rack handles lumber, pipe, irrigation equipment, and long-format product. Selective and drive-in configurations handle palletized inputs, seed, and bulk commodity storage. We design for your actual loads and dimensions, not a generic catalog configuration.
We handle all permitting with your local jurisdiction, including any requirements specific to agricultural storage, chemical storage classifications, and fire suppression requirements.

Recommended Systems
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.
Learn More
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.
