Whether you have a large industrial warehouse with plenty of space, or you are on a tight budget and have to get creative with your storage, a pallet racking system can be extremely useful. It will enable you to store more products using less floor space, keep your inventory organised and allow even more efficiency for your inventory picking.

Every warehouse is unique, just as every business has different storage requirements. Depending on your order flow and inventory, you may discover that you are in need of a pallet racking system that is tailored to your specific needs. If you are new to pallet racking systems, read this guide that may help you create the perfect warehouse pallet racking system for your business.

Storage Density

If you are in need of more storage space, you may benefit from investing in deep lane storage solutions such as drive-in, drive-thru and push back racks. Cantilever racks are also available for items that may be a bit more difficult to store.

FIFO or LIFO

If you follow a first in, first out system (also known as FIFO), consider pallet flow racks or selective pallet racking which can provide direct access to any pallet currently in your stock.

Picking Profiles

By creating a rack system that is optimised for picking profiles, you can access the products by the piece, case or the entire pallet with ease.

Rack Decking

When it comes to adding more pallet racking systems to enhance your storage, you could consider adding rack decking. These can provide further stability and help stabilise products and pallets on the load beams.

Forklift Access

For warehouses that require forklifts for load picking and racking, the width of the aisle can play a key role. The lift truck type determines the width of the aisle that is needed. As well as this, occupational safety procedures should always be followed to ensure the lift truck has easy and safe access to pallets without affecting employees or customers.
