Pallet Racking Setups

Racking System Options for Different Storage Needs

No two warehouses operate the same way, which is why the best storage racking solution depends on your products, stock turnover, and operational requirements. SSA supplies a wide range of racking systems to suit different environments and applications.

Selective Pallet Racking

Selective pallet racking is a popular choice for general warehouse storage. It provides direct access to every pallet, making it ideal for businesses managing a wide range of stock with frequent picking requirements.

Double Deep Racking

Double deep racking stores pallets two deep to increase storage density. It is well suited to businesses holding larger quantities of similar stock where immediate access to every pallet is not essential.

Tyre Racking

Tyre racking is commonly used by tyre retailers and automotive workshops. It provides tailored, accessible tyre storage while making efficient use of vertical space.

Carpet Racking

Carpet racking is designed for storing carpet rolls, vinyl, and other long materials that do not suit conventional pallet storage systems. It is commonly used by flooring suppliers, retailers, and warehouses storing rolled products.

Drive-In Racking

Drive-in racking offers high-density storage for businesses managing large volumes of the same stock. Common applications include cold storage facilities, manufacturing environments, and wholesale distribution centres where maximising storage density is a priority.

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racking is ideal for oversized, bulky, or irregularly shaped items such as timber, pipes, furniture, and sheet materials. Commonly used in timber yards, manufacturing facilities, and trade supply businesses, it is often paired with pallet racking to create a complete warehouse storage solution.

If you're storing hand-loaded stock, smaller items, or mixed inventory, alternative systems such as heavy duty shelving, longspan shelving, or garage shelving may also be worth considering. Our team can help recommend the most suitable solution based on your products and workflow requirements.

What to Consider When Choosing a Racking System

Choosing the right racking system is about more than simply fitting additional bays into your warehouse. The ideal setup should support your stock profile, improve accessibility, and accommodate future growth.

A few important factors to consider include:

• Stock Type: Consider whether you're storing palletised goods, hand-loaded items, tyres, carpet rolls, oversized materials, or mixed inventory.
• Storage Volume: Businesses storing larger quantities of similar stock may benefit from higher-density systems such as double deep or drive-in racking.
• Access Requirements: Selective pallet racking provides direct access to every pallet, while higher-density systems prioritise storage capacity over accessibility.
• Load Capacity: The weight of your stock influences beam selection, frame specifications, and Safe Working Load requirements. All our systems are supplied and installed with AS4084:2023 compliant load signage.
• Warehouse Layout: Ceiling height, aisle widths, forklift clearance, and traffic flow all play an important role when designing an effective warehouse storage layout.
• Future Expansion: Choosing a flexible system can make it easier to add bays, adjust beam levels, or expand your storage as operational requirements change.
• Accessories and Safety Features: Products such as rack protection, steel mesh, mesh decks, safety barriers, and additional beam levels can improve both safety and functionality throughout your warehouse.

If you're unsure which racking system is right for your business, our team can review your requirements and recommend a practical solution.
