Industrial racking systems are metal structures designed to support commercial and industrial goods in a warehouse. Sometimes warehouse space is limited, and under such circumstances, a racking system is effective for storing goods. Different types of industrial racking fit every situation and fulfil every storage need. If you need flexible spaces in your office or industrial premises, contact racking specialists in Essex.
Know the different types of racking options:
These racks are designed for optimum storage solutions and are engineered to resist loads of industrial goods. For racking in Essex, get in touch with specialists who can design the rack within the available space and help you with ample storage options. Following are the different types of racking options.
- Adjustable pallet racking:
This is the most common type of adjustable pallet used to store goods of all loads. The pallets are lifted and placed using forklifts on the aisles. The aisles generally run parallel to each other, and the pallets give direct access to the units or loads being stored in them.
- Double deep pallet racking:
This is a conventional storage solution where the pallets are stored at different depths and have a higher density for storing commercial goods. The unique thing about using these pallets is that a forklift lifts them. The people storing things on these pallets need access to the double pallets.
- Narrow aisle pallet racking:
This is a compact version of racking, designed especially for narrow aisles within the factory. It results in a maximum amount of space savings. The minimum aisle width for placing this type of racking should be 1.5m. These aisles are generally present in factories where there is little space and a lot of items that need to be stored.
- Drive through pallet racking:
This is a type of pallet that needs to work between two aisles with racking on each side of the aisles. This type of pallet generally stores industrial goods in the FIFO method, that is, the first pallet is the first one to leave. Keeping these pallets in place ensures a rotation of the products and space optimisation.
