It allows for efficient use of vertical space, easy access, improved organization, and higher safety in storage operations.
Key Benefits
Maximizes vertical and horizontal storage space
Improves accessibility and inventory management
Increases operational efficiency and safety
Customizable for various load types and weights
Supports FIFO/LIFO inventory methods
Types of Racking Systems
Here’s a classification based on application, structure, and load handling:
| Type | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Selective Pallet Racking | Most common; each pallet is accessible directly | General warehouses, fast-moving items |
| Drive-In / Drive-Through | Forklift drives into rack structure | High-density, low-SKU storage (cold storage) |
| Push Back Racking | Pallets sit on carts that roll backward | LIFO inventory; medium-density |
| Pallet Flow (FIFO) | Pallets move on gravity rollers | FIFO stock (perishable goods) |
| Cantilever Racking | Arms extend from columns, no vertical uprights in front | Long items like pipes, wood, profiles |
| Mezzanine Racking | Multi-tier structure with floors | Manual pick zones, increased floor space |
| Mobile Racking | Racks mounted on tracks, movable via motor/manual | High-density storage, space-saving |
| Boltless Shelving | Lightweight system with adjustable shelves | Retail, archives, offices |
| Slotted Angle Racking | Budget, modular type with angle iron sections |
