Material Handling Equipment Services in Colonial Heights, VA
Material handling equipment selection in Colonial Heights, VA is driven by building clear height and aisle width. Older Boulevard and Ellerslie Avenue industrial buildings with 20-24 ft clear are reach-truck buildings — standard 2 or 3-stage masts on 102-108 inch aisles. Newer Route 1 and Route 36 industrial parks buildings with 26-30 ft clear support 4-stage reach trucks at 28-32 ft lift height and higher-capacity counterbalanced forklifts.
Rack aisle width, beam height, and column capacity must all match the lift truck spec before the first upright goes in. We design Colonial Heights, VA rack systems around your equipment from the start.
