I am looking at installing some of these from Lowes or home depot- It's a newage product- My question is my footer comes out with a 2x6 as shown in a picture- How do you guys get around installing cabinets that have feet like this product- Do you minimize the feet to get around the bolts in the footer and extend the ones in the front- Please let me know some suggestions.

Mount 'something' at the same elevation as the 2x plate and set the new stuff on the 'something'....maybe a piece of ¼" flatbar, drill the end of the flatbar, attach to the 2x plate and set the opposite end on a piece of pipe/sq-tube/2x4/brick/rock... Set the new stuff on the flatbar. Can't hurt to have space under the cabinets.

Minimize the feet and bolt it.

Place cabinet on top of 2x6 and extend front feet to level. If front feet won't travel enough to level then place a 2x6 under front feet.

If you look at your pic you can see the far cabinet is sitting on top of the footer, as are the rest of the cabinets, just like your shop. If you set the cabinets right on the footer simply run a few screws into the wall studs to attach the cabinet to the wall. This way you can just let the front hang in space.
I did this same thing with some shelving units in my parking garage. Set the back feet on the footer and ran a few screws into the wall studs to support the shelves. The front legs hang in space. They've been like this for 20 years with no issues.

I built a platform the height of the concrete and level. That way the cabinets can set on top of the platform and can go all the way up against the wall.

The other choice is to wall mount all the cabinets. Here's NewAge's instruction page for wall mounting.
