Industrial racks are metal structures designed to support the heavy industrial goods load in a warehouse or any industrial facility.

Common types of warehouse industrial racking options:
To know more about the different types of racking systems, read on.
-
Pallet and picking racking system:
Pallet racking systems are designed for heavy-weight industrial storage. Handling equipment deposits the unit loads on a metal structure. Options include pallet shuttles, adjustable racks, narrow aisle racks, and double-deep pallet racks.
Picking solutions are manual shelving systems to store medium—and low-weighed goods in industrial warehouses. Some common types of picking shelves are long-span shelving, multi-tier shelving, and carton live storage systems.
-
Adjustable and standard racking pallet:
This type of pallet racking is an industrial rack that is stored and organised mechanically using forklifts. The forklifts place and access the goods via the aisles parallel to the racks. The pallets are standard width and available in very narrow and double-deep pallets.
-
Live pallet racking system:
This is a type of pallet racking used for compact storage systems. It operates based on the forces of gravity. There are two live pallet options: the FIFO and push-back LIFO methods. The LIFO method is valid for the last-in-first-out storage system, while the FIFO method is used for storing first-in-first-out products.
-
Mobile racking systems:
This is a storage solution in which metal pallets are mounted on mobile bases guided by rails generally attached to the floor. This type of rack has electric motors attached at the base. They are controlled remotely and can quickly move the pallets from one end to another. The design of the mobile racks makes them ideal for cold stores.
