Okay we tried to sell you our boltless shelving and you didn't like it because you bought the cheap gorilla (monkey) racks that failed long ago and you learned your lesson not to buy them again.
In our business we call those racks sold at the big block stores COMMERCIAL duty racks. They are only 6'h, lightweight, and cheap. The 2-piece uprights are a dead giveaway that they will not stand up to our earthquakes.
What we sell is considered INDUSTRIAL duty shelving with 1-piece uprights that are wider seismic flanged for 8' to 12' high. And we sell you footplates to anchor to the floor so that they do not topple over during an earthquake.
But if you still are not sold on the boltless shelving then we offer you these mini-racks that install just like pallet racks only they are smaller and less capacity. They come in the familiar green and orange colors like pallet racks and we sell footplates with them also. Call us.
We finance, ship to your door, and install the products we sell.
Exclusive warehouse MINI-PALLET RACK in the familiar green teardrop uprights and orange step beams with spring locks. Available in wood decks, white melamine, or wire decks. No need for a bottom shelf because they are strong enough without a bottom shelf like pallet racks. It saves space and money. Good-looking heavy-duty racks that have been used as display shelving in furniture stores. Now we have the exclusive knocked down uprights to save on shipping and storage. These savings get passed on to you when you purchase them. Then you simply set the uprights up with nuts, bolts and washers. Add seismic foot plates that will attach the uprights to the floor to prevent earthquake damage. Heights are 6, 8, 10, 12'. Depths are 48, 36, 24, 18". We always add footplates since we are in earthquake country, like pallet racks.
POWERFUL GRAY Industrial warehouse STORAGE SHELVING 36", 42", 4', 5', 69", 6', 7', 8' wide x 12, 18, 24, 36, 48" deep x 7' to 15' high, 3-16 shelves, 225 lbs. cap/shelf to 2000 lbs. $(Call). Incredibly easy to put them together with a hammer. Boltless Rivet shelving. Everyone uses this in their garage. We have the perfect sizes for record storage boxes as well.
Warehouse WIRE SHELVING, chrome (certified by the National Sanitation Foundation) or subtle, less expensive black powder coated. Add easy rolling 5" diameter locking casters to move to another work station or easily clean below. No dust accumulates on wire shelving; heat is quickly dissipated from computers; and light flows through the shelving improving visibility of labels. Industrial duty uprights are single piece, not 2-piece commercial duty that screws together sold in big box stores. Fast and easy assembly with no tools. Each shelf is adjustable in 2" increments. We offer an exclusive feature called "starter and adder units" when you have rows of wire shelving. You can hook on the adder unit and save money. We have a dazzling array of sizes to choose from: 63, 74 and 86" high x 18, 24, 36" deep x 3', 4', 5', 6' wide, 4 shelves/unit. Add more shelves by request.
New SAFETY Yellow ROLLING STEEL warehouse LADDER with 50-degree forward descent, and lock down front wheels. Make sure you get on top of a used ladder before you buy it. If it is bent it will wobble and it is very scary at the top of the ladder. All used ladders have been damaged. We used to buy them and fix them but then the welders stopped fixing them because there is too much liability. 450 lbs. capacity, Yellow powder coated paint finish, Step-Lock positive locking system engages when the user steps on the first step, Perforated slip-resistant tread design, steel, gray color, with handrails all 3 sides, ships unassembled, takes 3-4 weeks to ship, sizes are 2 step to 16 step which is 13.33 feet to the top step, most are 24"wide steps, optional gradual rise offered for ease of walking down with cartons in hand, optional top step depth of 20", Complies with applicable OHSA and ANSI standards, steel prices are going up every week so buy now. Don't wait. We have seen 100% increases in the past year on new steel pallet racks.
How do you collect and dispose of your trash? Use a new STEEL SELF DUMPING HOPPER to throw the trash into, then simply pick it up with a forklift, run it over to the dumpster, tilt and dump it. What a dump! Made in the USA. Just tell us what size you want (1, 2, 3 or 5 cubic yards) and we will quote you. We also have covers to keep the rain out, or to keep the wind from blowing any paper out. In local stock for the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area.

Don't forget to ask for tie plates and footplates so that they don't fall down in the next earthquake.
We have PALLET RACKING that is seismic design (earthquake proof/safe to use), teardrop style, green and orange, Interlake new and old style, Hannibal 8'h, 10'h, 12'h, 16'h, 20'h x 42"d, GREEN SEISMIC TEARDROP UPRIGHTS. Ask for the innovative uprights that are knocked down for ease of shipping; and are easily set up with nuts and bolts.
Then we have ORANGE BEAMS that are 6', 8', 9', 10', 12' long with capacities from 2900#/pair to 8,200#/pair.
Don't forget about the wire decks made necessary by the fire dept. They want you to have "flow through" decks that allow the sprinklers to put out the fire below, the heat to rise, set off the alarm and activate the vents. Call for prices.
Almost everyone wants used pallet racks. Used pallet racks hardly ever will pass the code requirements for seismic design because they were made before current revised safety codes were made. And since CAL-Osha is the safety code of California which requires all pallet racks to be permitted and seismic design, USED PALLET RACKS ARE ILLEGAL if they won't pass for seismic design in CA. The same goes for Chinese made pallet racks which have no quality control of their steel. No engineer will put his wet stamp on the calculations necessary to get your permit. Therefore, CHINESE MADE PALLET RACKS ARE ILLEGAL. Also, pallet racks from catalogs made outside of California are not seismic design so PALLET RACKS BOUGHT THROUGH CATALOG HOUSES ARE ILLEGAL. Do you want to know which pallet racks are legal in CA? NEW PALLET RACKS MADE IN CALIFORNIA ARE LEGAL IF YOU GET THE NECESSARY PERMIT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PERMIT THE PALLET RACKS ARE ILLEGAL. That's right. You have to prove your pallet racks can withstand the strongest earthquake in your fault zone with your loads on them. We can provide that proof in the form of California structural engineer's calculations with their wet stamp backing up the calculations.
Used pallet jacks leak. PALLET JACKS really are great for moving up to 5500 pounds on 1 pallet. That's 2.25 tons! And they are so much more maneuverable than forklifts in tight spaces. All the controls are in the handle. Want to put on the brakes? Just lower the pallet to the ground by pulling the trigger. Easy rolling poly-wheels make the job of repositioning pallets on the floor easy. Get an E-Z LIFT PALLET JACK that lasts with a full 12-month warranty. 5500 lbs. capacity. All controls in the handle. Smooth rolling polyurethane wheels. 2.9" lowered height of forks. 20.5" or 27" widths x 36", 42", or 48" length of forks. We used to sell used pallet jacks but within a few weeks the customer would come back and want to get a refund because it leaked. Remember used equipment is sold "AS-IS, WHERE-IS, CASH AND CARRY, NO REFUNDS, CREDITS, WARRANTY, EXCHANGES OR RETURNS".
How do you get your forklift from the ground to your dock or the bed of a truck? Use a MOBILE YARD RAMP. They roll around to various locations and can be towed by your forklift. They adjust in height with the use of a pump handle. They have different capacities for whatever you need and various lengths to fit any situation. The level off feature at the top end is needed to see where your forks are headed in the truck to load or unload.
Ground-to-trailer application best served with 36' ramp including a 6' level off. Note the lip on the top end that is welded onto a frame for long lasting support of 20,000 lbs. capacity as opposed to a flimsy hinged steel plate that doesn't have 20,000 lbs. capacity. Other sizes and capacities available.
All steel welded construction. MADE IN AMERICA. Ramps made in China do not have quality control of their steel. Therefore, the capacities cannot be guaranteed.
Add the full undercarriage with solid 18" rubber tires standard: pneumatic tires optional.
Double-action hydraulic pump-the hydraulic system allows for smooth and quick raising of the front lip to the proper dock or trailer height. Simply open the release valve to safely lower the unit into position. The pump is mounted internally to protect it from accidental damage. Or we can replace it with cheaper old-fashioned trailer support wheels that are much harder to adjust.
Capacities from 16,000 to 60,000 lbs.
Wide range of capacities and sizes available.
Steel serrated grating.
Beveled approach provides smooth transition.
Safety chains are included to secure the Yard Ramp to the dock.
We also install. pull your permit, do seismic engineering drawing and calculations, do design and layout, and work on a consulting basis for your warehouse equipment needs. We see to it that everything meets or exceeds OSHA and International Building Codes as well as local Fire Codes. Financing available.

We will bring pallets of materials to your truck for you to load. Bring the people you need to load your truck. We will not put racks onto a lumber rack because of the possibility of damaging your vehicle. You can slide them onto your lumber rack when we park the forklift nearby.
Bring your own tie downs and red flags. We charge you $10 for rope and $2.50 for a red flag.
We will not return text messages because they are used by scammers. Call us and we will have an exchange of information to arrive at a quote that will work for you and be safe.
