A racking system is a storage solution designed to help businesses efficiently organize and store goods in a warehouse, factory, or other industrial space. There are many different types of racking systems available, each with its own unique benefits and features, and businesses can choose the type that best suits their needs.
Some common types of racking systems include:
-
Selective pallet racking: This is the most common type of racking system, where pallets are placed on horizontal beams supported by vertical frames. It allows for easy access to individual pallets, making it ideal for applications where items need to be accessed and retrieved quickly.
-
Drive-in pallet racking: This type of racking system maximizes storage density by allowing pallets to be stored in lanes with minimal aisles. It is often used for high-density storage of goods with low turnover rates.
-
Push-back pallet racking: This type of racking system is designed to maximize space utilization by allowing pallets to be stored on a series of nested carts. It is a good option for businesses that need to store a large number of pallets in a limited space.
-
Cantilever racking: This type of racking system is used to store long, bulky items such as lumber, pipes, and sheet metal. It features horizontal arms that extend from a vertical column, creating a space for items to be stored horizontally.
-
Mezzanine racking: This type of racking system is a multi-level storage platform that maximizes vertical space. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including storage, offices, and production areas.
