A Handy Guide to Racking

With so many pallet racking options available, here is a brief guide into what products we offer and what would best suit your warehouse:

Wide Aisle Adjustable Racking

Adjustable pallet racking is the most widely used storage system for all palletised and non-palletised loads.
Single or double sided runs of racking are separated by wide aisles which can be sized to suit the customer’s existing fork-lift trucks.

Double Deep Racking

Double deep racks are created by placing two double sided runs together.
Pallets are stored two deep and are accessed using special trucks with pantograph or telescopic forks.

Narrow Aisle Racking

Narrow aisle racks consist of the same basic components as conventional racking but with runs placed closer together eliminating the wasted space of a wide aisle.
The pallets can be stored to a greater height to maximise all available cubic space.

Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking

Drive-in racking is used where high density storage is required.
It is frequently used in facilities with a low number of product lines.
The drive-through systems allows pallets to be loaded or retrieved from either side.

Mobile Racking

Mobile racking is a specialist high density system often designed for long-term storage of pallets or other heavy duty goods.
The racking runs are mounted on mobile bases, which run on rails up and down the storage area.
The base is electronically driven and is normally kept closed leaving one aisle for access.

Multi-Tier Racking

Multi-tier racks are created using adjustable pallet racking.
Additional storage floors can be incorporated into the rack with walkways to allow pedestrian access for order picking. This maximises all available headroom and is ideal for storing a wide variety of packaged goods for hand picking.
