Pallet Racks in Riverton, IL
Riverton is about 8 miles east of Springfield at I-72 exit 108, close to the northeast-side cluster of big-box retail and parcel and e-commerce distribution. Its industrial land draws trucking companies, contractors and last-mile users who need storage near the interstate.
We plan selective pallet rack for indoor storage and yard-friendly cantilever rack for long material kept outside.
Land at the I-72 Interchange
About 180 acres south of the Riverton interchange are zoned industrial, with direct access to Route 36. Riverton Interstate Park, a TIF district along Old Route 36 and Overpass Road, includes a truck stop and a recycling operation, with more lots available.
Next to the interstate park, a 22,000 SF trucking and construction facility sits on 7 acres. That pairing of building and yard is typical here, and the storage plan should cover both.
Yard Storage for Contractors
Contractors keep pipe, lumber, conduit and steel in the yard. Cantilever rows keep it off the ground and sorted by size. In winter, snow and ice make yard work slow, so we leave enough room between rows for a loader or forklift to clear and pick.
- Cantilever rows sized to bundle lengths
- Space between rows for winter clearing
- Indoor selective rack for tools and boxed stock
Trucking Shops and Parts Rooms
Trucking companies keep tires, filters, fluids and parts on hand. A small parts room with shelving and a few bays of rack covers most of it. Tires store well on dedicated tire rack or on pallet rack with the right decking.
Fluids in drums need beams rated for the weight and decking that supports drum bases.
Close to Our Springfield Office
Riverton is only about 8 miles from our office. That makes it easy to measure, adjust the layout and schedule installs around your trucks. In summer, crews start early to avoid the worst heat in buildings without air conditioning.
Recycling and Scrap Operations
The interstate park includes a recycling operation. Recyclers handle baled material, bins and sorted metals, much of it heavy and irregular. Bales usually stack on the floor, but sorted product in bins or gaylords fits pallet rack sized for the weight.
Heavy bins need beams rated well above the average load, and wire or solid decking so containers do not sag between beams. We check bin footprints and weights before quoting.
Yard space for sorted metals and long scrap can use cantilever or simple bunks. We plan aisles wide enough for loaders.
Last-Mile Storage Near the Northeast Side
Parcel and last-mile operations move small orders fast. Carton flow rack puts fast movers at a fixed pick face, and selective rack above holds reserve pallets. Short travel from rack to door matters more than raw density here.
