Shelving in Boise, ID
Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions has helped hundreds of Boise, ID-area warehouses optimize their storage with professionally installed Shelving systems.
Shelving Solutions for Boise Warehouses
Boise is Idaho's capital and the economic center of the Treasure Valley, one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the United States. The I-84 corridor through the Treasure Valley hosts a rapidly expanding industrial real estate market with major distribution, food processing, and technology manufacturing operations.
For Boise operations dealing with peak-season overflow, SKU proliferation, or simply running out of room, Shelving provides an immediate, cost-effective solution that scales as your business grows.
Industrial shelving bridges the gap between pallet racking and standard office shelving, providing heavy-duty, height-adjustable storage for parts, small items, tools, files, and products that are too small or light for a pallet rack bay. We supply boltless rivet shelving for parts and small items, wire shelving for food-grade and visibility applications, heavy-duty steel shelving for parts rooms and maintenance areas, and wide-span shelving for bulky items that are too small for pallet rack but too large for standard shelving. All systems are height-adjustable, easy to assemble, and available in a range of load ratings and footprint sizes. The versatility of industrial shelving makes it a fixture in nearly every type of facility. A distribution center uses shelving in the small-parts pick area alongside pallet racking in the bulk storage area. A manufacturing plant relies on heavy-duty shelving in the maintenance crib for spare parts and tooling. A hospital supply room stores medical supplies and equipment on wire shelving that meets NSF food-service and healthcare standards. A government facility uses evidence-grade shelving in the records management room. The right shelving system for each application depends on load requirements, item dimensions, access frequency, and regulatory requirements. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions supplies shelving as standalone units, in configured systems, or as part of complete facility storage projects alongside pallet racking, mezzanines, and other systems. We help you select the right shelving type, configure the layout, and install the system, whether it is a single shelving unit for a break room or a multi-aisle shelving system for a 50,000 square foot stockroom.
Shelving is especially valuable for Retail and wholesale in Boise, where companies need dependable systems for File and archive storage. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions helps businesses plan, install, and optimize systems that support long-term warehouse performance.
We work with companies across Ada County and nearby service areas to deliver practical, durable solutions built for industrial environments.

Technical Specifications & Buying Guide
Boltless rivet shelving, also called clip shelving or longspan shelving, is the most common type for general parts and box storage. The beams snap into vertical uprights via a rivet connector that requires no tools to assemble or adjust. Shelf capacity ranges from 350 lbs per shelf for light-duty versions to 2,000 lbs per shelf for heavy-duty wide-span versions. Shelf height is adjustable in 1.5-inch increments. Standard bay widths are 36, 48, and 72 inches; depths are 12, 18, 24, and 30 inches. For very long items, wide-span shelving in 96-inch and 144-inch widths is available with heavier structural tube uprights and heavy-duty beams.
Wire shelving uses a welded wire grid shelf surface supported on chrome or epoxy-coated steel poles. The open wire design provides maximum air circulation, water drainage (important for walk-in coolers), and visibility. NSF-listed wire shelving meets strict standards for food-contact and food-proximity storage environments and is required in commercial kitchen, food storage, and healthcare supply areas. Shelf capacity typically ranges from 200 to 800 lbs per shelf for standard configurations. Wire shelving poles accept shelf clips at 1-inch increments, providing very fine height adjustment.
Heavy-duty steel shelving uses thicker-gauge steel shelves (typically 18 or 16-gauge) with a formed channel or reinforced deck for maximum rigidity. It is used in parts cribs, maintenance areas, and tool rooms where items may be heavy, oily, or dropped onto shelves without consideration. Steel shelves are available with particle board or steel decking, and cabinets can be configured with doors (hinged or sliding) for dust protection and security. Mobile shelving (also called compact shelving or high-density shelving) mounts shelving units on rolling carriages that eliminate the aisle between every row, storing the same inventory in 40–50% of the floor space required by conventional shelving.
Frequently Asked Questions About Shelving in Boise
What is the difference between boltless and bolted shelving?
Boltless shelving uses a rivet or clip connection that requires no hardware. Beams press into the upright, making assembly fast and allowing easy height adjustment. Bolted shelving uses nuts and bolts at every connection and is heavier-duty for applications requiring maximum rigidity and the highest load capacity per shelf.

Can shelving be used in food storage areas?
Yes. NSF-listed wire shelving is approved for food storage environments, with the open wire design providing air circulation, easy cleaning, and visibility into stored product. Solid steel shelving can be used in non-direct-food-contact areas with appropriate cleaning protocols. We specify the right shelving type based on your food safety requirements.

What is wide-span shelving and when do I need it?
Wide-span shelving uses bays 72–144 inches wide with heavier structural members to span the longer distance without sagging. It is used for items too large for standard 36–48 inch bays but not large enough for pallet racking. Common applications include automotive parts, engine blocks, HVAC units, and large boxed equipment.

Can shelving be integrated with pallet racking in the same facility?
Yes. In most distribution and warehouse facilities, pallet racking handles bulk pallet storage while shelving handles small-parts, individual-carton, or piece-pick inventory. The two systems complement each other and can be installed in adjacent areas or integrated into a pick module. We design facilities with both systems as needed.

What is mobile shelving and how much space does it save?
Mobile shelving (compact shelving) mounts rows on rolling carriages that move laterally on floor tracks, allowing the aisle to be positioned anywhere in the system rather than having a permanent aisle between every row. This typically saves 40–50% of the floor space required for the same storage capacity on conventional fixed shelving. It is widely used for records, evidence, and high-value compact storage.
