Industrial Racking and Shelving

Shelving is the basic type of storage system in all warehouses. Your typical industrial shelf is used for small goods. People generally pick up and place goods by hand which are not done by using forklift or other vehicle. They are generally shelved individually not by pallet, although small goods may be bundled together or be in small boxes. However, today more and more warehouses are using automated drone systems that can reach into shelves and pick up items. Industrial racking systems are metal structures designed to support the goods in a warehouse or industrial facility. The different types of industrial racking are a key element in the smooth functioning of a warehouse and play a central role in the logistics and supply chain operations of companies. There are types of industrial racking for each situation, storage need or unit load but all have the advantage of optimizing the available space in the warehouse compared to floor level storage.

Benefits of industrial racking that can increase the cost-efficiency of warehouse: ​

  • Optimizing warehouse space
  • Increasing bulk storage capacity
  • Implementing different inventory control methods.
  • Customizing warehouses.
  • Improving warehouse safety.
