Conventional pallet racking
Conventional racks provide direct access to individual pallets. Aisle width and rack height depend on the handling equipment, pallet dimensions and warehouse layout.
Drive-in racking
Drive-in systems store pallets in lanes and reduce the number of aisles. This arrangement is used for groups of similar products, with pallet access determined by the lane layout.
Mobile pallet racking
Mobile racks sit on movable bases. An aisle is opened when access is needed, rather than keeping a separate fixed aisle between every row.
Live pallet racking
Live racking uses inclined roller tracks. Pallets enter at the higher end and move by gravity towards the other end of the storage lane.
Pallet shuttle systems
A shuttle travels along rails inside storage channels to move pallets. The operator controls its movements, allowing pallets to be placed within the channel without driving a forklift along the entire lane.
Push-back racking
Push-back systems store several pallets in depth on a level. Pallets sit on carts or rails and are pushed back as another pallet is loaded from the aisle.
Rack-supported warehouses
In a rack-supported warehouse, the racks form part of the building structure alongside the roof and wall cladding. This is a distinct structural arrangement rather than simply fitting racks inside an existing building.
