Alliance Material Handling's Richmond Racking Division
RVA Racking is Alliance Material Handling's dedicated Richmond, VA racking operation. Alliance has been serving warehouses across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond since 1955 — RVA Racking brings that 70-year legacy of expertise directly to Richmond businesses who want local responsiveness backed by national-scale resources.
Alliance Material Handling created RVA Racking to give Richmond businesses a dedicated local resource — not a generalist crew dispatched from afar. Richmond warehouses have specific needs: Virginia building codes, local permitting processes, and a growing logistics market that demands reliable service. Alliance built a Richmond-focused operation staffed by people who know this city and this industry inside and out.
Today, RVA Racking is staffed by Alliance's certified installation technicians, experienced inspectors, and warehouse storage specialists who bring genuine expertise to every project. We've served over 500 warehouses throughout the Greater Richmond metro — from small contractor storage rooms to large regional distribution centers — with the full backing of one of the most experienced material handling companies in the country.
