Warehouses and factories require a great amount of organization to ensure safety for the workers and security for the goods. Being hubs where goods of different types and volumes accumulate, it can become increasingly difficult to handle them if not properly sorted and stored. It is critically important to organize such spaces to ensure easy movement of goods in and out.
Big industries have always made use of pallets as a means to dismount and mount heavy and voluminous goods efficiently without accidents. As the need to store goods continues to emerge, the need for pallet racking system continues to grow.
We offer you a wide range of pallet racking styles to choose from. Let’s look at some of the common types of racking systems that warehouses and factories can use to store their goods.
- Selective racking system. These are the most affordable racking systems commonly found in most factories and warehouses. They are designed in a way that all stored pallets can be directly accessed from the aisle of the warehouse without disorganizing the alignment of the other pallets. This racking system is useful when you have a wide range of products to be stored and accessed at different intervals.
- Cantilever racking system. This racking system is most suitable for storing rods and pipes that are long and narrow and vertically occupy space.
- Push back pallet racking system. These storage systems are usually built against walls or as double sided systems to form a chain of loaded pallets. This system is very useful when a large number of heavy weight goods have to be stored and may not be accessed very often.
Here are two common racking systems that most people go for
- Light duty racking system – These are easily installed and available in different sizes. They can store up to 300 kgs per shelf level and be used for both commercial and domestic storage. You have a choice to use MDF boards, galvanized panel decking or metal decking.
- Longterm racking system – These are specifically designed to hold high, wide and bulky goods. They can carry up to 600 kgs shelf level. They can be customized to meet your requirements without compromising the quality. They can be easily and quickly installed with their versatility of the shelves allowing all manner of products to be stored efficiently.
Conclusion
Manually handling heavy and voluminous goods can be unsafe and unmanageable for workers in factories. At the same time, the kind of work associated with bulk storage in warehouses makes it difficult for individuals to handle it every day.
