Are your current storage requirements needing a drastic overhaul? You may think that storage is not a hard thing to get right, but doing wrong can seriously impact your safety, space and workplace efficiency.

If you are currently wondering what the best solution is for your warehouse operations, there may end up being many different warehouse storage equipment solutions out there – so it helps to have the best idea of what your needs are.

Your choice will come down to the factors of what you are storing, what your available floor space is and what the processes of your workplace are.

Warehouse Racking

The solution for most companies is pallet racking or industrial storage racks. This is multi-levelled shelving that is designed for large warehouses that contain bulk storage.

Pallet racking holds heavy pallets with a focus on vertical storage to provide easy access for forklifts. There is also cantilever racking for storage of long and awkward items along the lines of pipes, rods and timber.

The typical industries that use these shelving solutions are larger warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities and retail storage warehouses. If your industry falls into one of these sectors then these solutions may be the best product for you.

Commercial Shelving

Commercial shelving is a solution designed for small to medium items, and these can be customisable between lengths and heights and what the shelf material is composed of (ie metal, mesh or chipboard).

This solution has a larger ranch of sectors that it can be ideal towards. This is quite common in retail stores and mechanical workshops, but also spans home garages, shipping containers and manufacturing facilities – as well storage and distribution warehouses.

This storage solution helps to separate smaller and larger items to accentuate space in the business. It also helps those responsible for the pick of these items to streamline their efforts and not end up looking for smaller items between larger ones.

Commercial shelving can be placed along a back wall or even in smaller rooms away from the main floor to help operations remain tight in the warehouse.
