Supplying Certified Structures Instead of Auctioned Racks

We limit our auction operations strictly to rolling equipment like forklifts and floor sweepers, never structural steel. We refuse to auction pallet racking because it lacks the certified engineer load documentation required to keep your facility safe and compliant.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"Do liquidated structures from pallet racking auctions automatically comply with current municipal high-pile storage codes upon re-installation in Santa Barbara, CA?"

Matt Handler Director of Warehouse Storage Design

No. Legacy steel procured via liquidation must undergo a comprehensive secondary engineering review. The architecture must be re-certified to match modern seismic base shear mandates, current flue space requirements, and updated concrete slab point-load tolerances before local authorities will issue operational permits.
