The tractor should work just fine. I bet there is a local company that deals in used pallet racking. That is how I found mine. Presently have 110 ft of 12 ft high x 34 in deep rack, so with the first shelf 4 ft high [leaves room for tall heavy stuff down low] the rest are spaced 2 ft up. That 110 ft of rack yields the equal of a bit more than 1,144 sq ft of space that was only air before, plus, I can see and find what I have.
