Racking System

The different types of racking systems and their benefits:

1. Conventional Pallet Racking

• Benefit: Easy to install and manage, ideal for storing large quantities of pallets.

• Best for: Bulk storage and easy access.

2. Drive-In Pallet Racking

• Benefit: High-density storage; allows forklifts to drive into the racking system.

• Best for: Storing large volumes of similar products (FIFO not required).

3. Cantilever Racking System

• Benefit: Great for storing long or irregular items like pipes, lumber, or furniture.

• Best for: Bulky, heavy, or long items that don’t fit conventional racking.

4. Shuttle-Racking System

• Benefit: Automated system that reduces labor and increases storage density.

• Best for: High-volume storage with minimal handling.

5. Push-back Pallet Rack

• Benefit: Maximizes space by allowing pallets to be pushed back and retrieved from the rear.

• Best for: FIFO or LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory systems.

6. Multitier Racking System

• Benefit: Adds multiple storage levels, increasing vertical storage capacity.

• Best for: Small goods, light-duty storage, and maximizing warehouse height.

7. Vertical Storage System

• Benefit: Compact design that maximizes vertical space, ideal for small parts or tools.

• Best for: Small items and parts that need frequent access.

8. VNA Racking System (Very Narrow Aisle)

• Benefit: Maximizes space by reducing aisle width and using specialized forklifts.

• Best for: High-density storage in tight spaces.

9. Medium Duty Racking

• Benefit: Versatile and cost-effective, ideal for moderate loads and manual handling.

• Best for: General warehousing of medium-weight items.

10. Outdoor Racking

• Benefit: Weather-resistant design for outdoor use, ideal for storing construction materials.

• Best for: Bulky, weather-resistant items needing storage outside.
