Types of Heavy Duty Racking System
Selective Pallet Racking
This is the most common type of heavy duty rack. It allows direct access to each pallet, making it suitable for goods that require frequent picking. It works with most forklifts and is ideal for general warehouse use.
- Best for: Fast-moving inventory
- Design: Single-deep, adjustable beams
- Flexibility: High
Double Deep Pallet Racking
This type places one pallet behind another, allowing you to store more pallets per aisle. It increases storage density but limits immediate access to rear pallets.
- Best for: Bulk storage of similar SKUs
- Design: Two-deep pallet placement
- Accessibility: Medium
Drive-In Racking System
Drive-in racking allows forklifts to enter the racking structure. This system eliminates the need for multiple aisles, saving space.
- Best for: High-volume storage with low SKU variety
- Design: LIFO (Last-In-First-Out)
- Aisle Requirement: Minimal
Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racks are ideal for storing long, heavy, or oddly shaped items such as timber, steel pipes, and furniture. The system uses horizontal arms fixed to vertical columns.
- Best for: Long and oversized goods
- Design: Arm-based support
- Access: Easy loading and unloading
Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Racking
VNA racking is designed to maximise vertical storage by reducing aisle width. It requires specialised forklifts to operate safely.
- Best for: High-volume storage in compact spaces
- Design: Tall, slim profiles
- Efficiency: High space utilisation
Accessories and Equipment for Heavy Duty Pallet Racking
Enhancing your heavy duty pallet racking system with the right accessories improves safety, speed, and usability.
Metal Shelves
Used for storing cartons, boxes, or small parts. They fit between beams and can support uniform loads.
Placon Rollers
Plastic or steel wheel rollers allow smooth movement of items across the racks, improving workflow during order picking.
Steel Grating Decks
These are placed on rack beams to support non-palletised items. They offer ventilation and fire safety compliance.
Barrier Protectors
Installed at the base of rack frames to prevent forklift collisions. Made of steel and fixed to the floor.
Frame Guards and Safety Pins
Frame guards absorb impacts. Safety pins secure beam placement and prevent accidental dislodging during operations.
Labelling and Beam Identification
Colour-coded labels help workers identify products quickly and manage stock with better accuracy.
Benefits and Features of Heavy Duty Racking System
Heavy duty racks offer more than just storage. They are an essential part of an efficient supply chain and warehouse layout.
High Load Capacity
Racks are built with reinforced steel components. Each level can support between 1,000 kg and 3,000 kg under uniformly distributed loads.
Durable and Safe
Steel construction ensures durability. Components resist rust, bending, and breakage. With proper installation and load balancing, the system remains stable for years.
Customisable Layouts
You can adjust the height, depth, and beam levels. Systems can be tailored to suit floor plans, ceiling height, and product size.
Improves Storage Efficiency
Racks help you use vertical space. This reduces the need to expand floor area or rent more warehouse space.
Cost-Effective Solution
By reducing space wastage and improving access to stored items, racking systems lower labour and storage costs.
Complies with Safety Standards
With anchor bolts, frame protection, safety locking pins, and anti-collapse mesh, the system follows best practices in warehouse safety.
