Material Handling Equipment Services in Richmond, VA
Material handling equipment selection in Richmond, VA is driven by building clear height and aisle width. Older Scott's Addition and Manchester buildings with 24-26 ft clear are reach-truck buildings — standard 2 or 3-stage masts on 102-108 inch aisles. Newer Deepwater Industrial Park and I-95/I-295 corridor buildings with 32-36 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 Richmond, VA rack systems around your equipment from the start.
