Providing Solutions for Ontario's Major Industrial Parks

Racforce provides specialized infrastructure support for the Inland Empire’s most demanding logistics hubs:

Ontario International Airport Hub (Jurupa St & Mission Blvd)

Ontario International Airport Hub (Jurupa St & Mission Blvd)

Air freight and rapid transit require a facility built for speed. For warehouses operating in the high-velocity corridor south of the airport, we design and install optimized cross-docking layouts and dynamic pallet racking systems to ensure your inventory moves in and out without a single bottleneck.

Prologis Park Ontario Airport

Prologis Park Ontario Airport

Operating in a high-density, Class A building means you need a material handling system that maximizes its premium footprint. We specialize in capitalizing on the massive vertical clear heights of these state-of-the-art facilities. We deliver precision-engineered, seismically compliant racking configurations that drive maximum ROI on every square foot of your lease.

Safari Business Center

This massive cluster of mid-to-large distribution centers is a vital artery of the Inland Empire's supply chain. Whether you are upgrading an existing layout or building out a new operation, we provide the strategic floor planning, heavy-duty racking, and turnkey permitting required to keep your Safari Business Center facility scalable, safe, and operating at peak capacity.

Land costs in these regions are at a premium. We specialize in narrow-aisle and high-density racking to double your storage capacity without increasing your footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my existing racks meet current California seismic standards?2026-03-02T07:46:30+00:00

If your racking was installed before the latest building code updates (or doesn’t have 5"x7" heavy-duty seismic baseplates), it may be non-compliant. Racforce provides structural audits to verify anchor depth, baseplate thickness, and steel gauge, ensuring your system can withstand the lateral forces required in high-seismic zones like Ontario and Fontana.

What are the “Flue Space” requirements for a City of Ontario fire inspection?2026-03-02T07:45:55+00:00
To pass a fire inspection, you must maintain a 6-inch vertical gap (longitudinal flue) between back-to-back rack rows. This allows heat to rise quickly and trigger sprinklers. Blocking these gaps with overhanging pallets is the #1 reason for failed inspections in Ontario warehouses. We install pallet stops and row spacers to automate this compliance for your team.
Does my warehouse need in-rack sprinklers for high-pile storage?2026-03-02T07:45:05+00:00
In-rack sprinklers are typically required in Ontario if you store "high-hazard" items (like plastics, tires, or aerosols) above 12 feet, or if your ceiling sprinklers aren't rated for your specific storage height. Our Fire Code Consulting analyzes your "commodity class" against your building's PSI and GPM water flow to determine if you can avoid the high cost of in-rack plumbing through smarter layout design.
Can I relocate my existing racks to a new Ontario facility?2026-03-02T07:44:29+00:00
Yes, but they must be re-certified for the new location. Seismic requirements are site-specific, even moving across the street can change the "Seismic Design Category." We provide the engineering teardown and re-installation services needed to ensure your old equipment meets the safety codes of your new address.
Do you handle warehouse permitting in Ontario?2026-03-02T07:43:56+00:00
Absolutely. Racforce manages the entire regulatory lifecycle for City of Ontario facilities. Our service includes professional AutoCAD layouts, structural seismic engineering (compliant with the 2026 California Building Code), and High-Pile Storage Permit (HPSP) applications. We handle the technical red tape so your project stays on schedule and passes fire marshal inspections the first time.
What types of pallet racking do you install?2026-03-02T07:43:18+00:00

We supply and install high-performance storage systems tailored to your inventory density needs, including:

  • Selective Racking: For 100% pallet accessibility.

  • Push-Back & Pallet Flow: For high-density, LIFO/FIFO rotation.

  • Cantilever Racks: For oversized or long loads like lumber and piping.

  • Drive-In Racking: To maximize cubic square footage for bulk storage. All systems we install are engineered with heavy-duty seismic baseplates to meet strict Inland Empire safety standards.
