High capacity pallet racking for heavy loads

If you handle and store heavy-duty goods you  storage solutions that can handle the weight and volume of their inventory without compromising on safety or efficiency. Here’s why our high capacity pallet racking is a must for businesses dealing with heavy loads.

Investing in a high capacity pallet racking system offers numerous benefits that can positively impact your business operations.

High capacity pallet racking is specifically designed to bear heavy loads. These systems will have larger beams widths (around 100mm -120mm) , and additional bracing to support more weight than standard racking systems. This increased load-bearing capacity means you can store heavier items safety and securely.

With a well-organised high capacity pallet racking system, your warehouse operations become more efficient. Employees can quickly locate and retrieve items, reducing downtime and improving productivity. Additionally, these systems can be customised with accessories such as mesh or timber decking, as well at added safety measure such a rack protection.

While the initial investment in high capacity pallet racking may be higher than standard options, the long-term benefits make it a cost-effective choice. These systems are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.

Before choosing a pallet racking system, it’s important to understand the weight and size of the items you need to store. This will determine the type of racking that is suitable for your operations. Consider factors such as the maximum load weight, the dimensions of your inventory, and how often items will be accessed.

There are various types of high capacity pallet racking systems available, each designed for different applications. Some common types include:

• Adjustable Pallet Racking(APR): This is the most common type of direct access pallet racking. It allows for individual pallets to be accessed directly without moving others. Adjustable pallet racking, also knows as selective pallet racking are versatile and suitable for warehouses with a wide variety of SKU (stock-keeping unit) requirements. They offer easy access to each pallet, making them ideal for businesses that prioritise quick retrieval of goods.

• Cantilever Racking: a specialised type of pallet racking system designed primarily for the storage of long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items that cannot be stored on traditional pallets. Unlike conventional pallet racking, which utilises horizontal beams to support pallets, cantilever racking features long, horizontal arms that extend from vertical columns.

• Mobile Racking Systems: Unlike traditional static pallet racking, mobile pallet racking is mounted on a steel framed base. This racking system is installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally, thus eliminating the need for aisles, which open up only when accessed.

• Drive-In Racking: Drive-in Racking, also know as drive-through racking, allows forklift trucks to drive directly into the pallet racking , providing easy access to stored pallets. This efficient design eliminates the need for aisles between racks, maximising storage space for products with a low inventory turnover rate.

• Push Back Racking: Push back racking is a type of selective pallet racking system used in warehouses to maximise storage density while maintaining selectivity and ease of access to stored goods. Ideal if you’re storing bulk goods on pallets according to the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) principle.

Incorporating high capacity pallet racking for heavy loads into your warehouse is a smart investment that can enhance efficiency, safety, and productivity. By choosing the right system tailored to your specific needs, you can optimise your storage space, improve operational workflows, and set your business up for long-term success.
