RACKING
Racking Installation Project
Industrial racking system (Medium-duty Shelving / Selective Pallet Racking / Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking / Double Deep Pallet Racking) mainly consists of metal structures that support and store goods in warehouses or industrial facilities. Selecting the right industrial racking is absolutely a key factor for the smooth operation of the warehouse, playing a central role in the company’s logistics and supply chain operations.
Applicable Industries and Goods
- industry: Applicable to any industry that requires storage or loading of goods.
- Products: Both small items and large objects are acceptable.
Principles and Process
- Access Equipment / Storage
- Most racking systems require pallets, and typically a forklift is needed to load and unload goods stored on the pallets.
Key Features
- Optimize warehouse space and systematically store goods.
- Capable of accommodating goods of various volumes or sizes.
- All inventory is visible at a glance.
Maximum Value
- Utilize vertical space to maximize space efficiency.
- Low risk of product damage.
- Helps prevent damage to products on the ground from pests, moisture, impacts, and other risks.
Standard Performance
| Description | Pallet | Forklift | Narrow Aisle Forklift | Reach Forklift | Order Picker | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium-Duty Shelving / Longspan Shelving | Can be accessed manually, with adjustable shelving heights based on the size of the goods. The typical load capacity is below 500 kg. Suitable for organizations that combine offices and warehouses. | – | – | – | – | – |
| Selective Pallet Racking | The aisle has a standard width for forklift operation, allowing pallets to be lifted for goods access. It is characterized by high efficiency, durability, and ease of assembly. Load levels are easily adjustable, making it suitable for any type of product, whether measured by weight or volume. | ✓ | ✓ | – | – | – |
| Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking | It is an advanced version of standard racking, offering a high-density storage system without requiring additional space. This type of racking saves more than 40% of space due to its narrow aisles. Special handling equipment is required to use this system, and it is suitable for warehouses with high ceilings. | ✓ | – | ✓ | – | ✓ |
| Double Deep Pallet Racking | Pallets are stored two deep, allowing for higher storage density. Operators cannot directly access all pallets. Double deep pallet racking must be used with reach forklifts to quickly access the second stored pallet. It is an efficient and robust system, suitable for storing large quantities of the same products that are not perishable over time. | ✓ | – | – | ✓ | – |
| Drive in Pallet Racking | The most common racking system requires only one forklift entry and exit aisle and operates on a Last In, First Out (LIFO) inventory management method. It is recommended for products with low turnover rates that are not perishable over time. | ✓ | ✓ | – | – | – |
| Live Pallet Racking | Utilizes the weight of goods and slightly inclined shelves with rollers, allowing pallets and cartons to slide freely, enabling both First In, First Out (FIFO) and Last In, First Out (LIFO) inventory management. | – | ✓ | – | – | – |
| Cantilever Racking | Most commonly used for long building materials, with a typical load capacity of under 1000 kg. | – | ✓ | – | – | – |
| Mezzanine Floor | Mainly constructed as an intermediate floor between levels, it is typically used in warehouses for storing tools and materials, or for office spaces. This type of structure is usually not counted as one of the total floors of the building. | ✓ | ✓ | – | – | – |
