Racking & Shelving

Heavy-duty storage solutions designed for modern operations

Optimise Your Warehouse with Efficient Racking Systems

A properly designed warehouse racking system can save your business time and money. By maximising storage efficiency, it helps reduce labour costs for stocking and picking goods, minimises product damage with specialised racks, and can even postpone the need to expand or relocate your warehouse.

Creating an efficient, cost-effective warehouse layout requires careful planning. Factors such as the size, weight, and type of goods, the lifting equipment you operate, and your existing warehouse space — including dock door locations, ceiling height, staging areas, and logical product flow — all influence the design of your racking system.

All of our racking systems are manufactured from high-quality steel and installed in line with current safety standards, delivering durable, compliant, and scalable storage that supports long-term operational growth.

Ensuring you get the very best quality & value

Pallets can be stored in a variety of rack types, and selecting the right one depends on several considerations. The size and weight of pallets, your lifting equipment, and your warehouse layout all play a role. Some products may require special storage, such as cooler environments or secured racks.

The weight of your pallets will determine whether a roll-formed or structural pallet rack is appropriate. The most common option is Selective Pallet Rack, where pallets are stored one deep with 10–12 ft forklift aisles, either single or back-to-back.

To increase storage density and fit more pallets per square foot, consider:

Drive-In Racks
Push-Back Racks
Pallet Flow Racks

Choosing the Right Pallet Rack

Bulk and Non-Palletised Storage

For goods handled manually rather than on pallets, bulk storage racks provide flexible solutions. These typically have lower capacity than pallet racks, but heavy products can also be stored on pallet racks with decking.

Bulk storage often requires narrower aisles (3-4 ft) and rack heights suitable for hand-picking, though taller racks can be accessed safely with rolling ladders or catwalks.

Racks specifically designed for non-palletised bulk storage include:

Mini-Pallet Rack / Wide Span Shelving
Rivet Rack
Industrial Metal Shelving
Modular Cabinets
