Different Types of Pallet Racking for Expansion

Different Types of Pallet Racking for Expansion

If your company or distribution center grows, you may find yourself juggling additional logistical requirements with tight space limits. It's challenging to keep up with e-commerce, B2B, and import/export industry changes, especially since the economy is unpredictable.


Once your company starts to grow, you'll need to move quickly to free up as much space as possible in your storage facilities. Various storage options might assist you in making the most of your limited floor space.


A racking system is necessary for any warehouse because it generates orders, maximizes storage space, and improves overall efficiency. As a result, when selecting a Warehouse Racking System, one must exercise extreme caution.


We have five different types of pallet racking systems that can help you increase your storage space


Pallet Racking To The Ceiling

Our cutting-edge Roll Forming Machine allows our customers to make the most of their space, even vertically. We can make your Racking Systems as tall as your ceilings using the newest technology in Racking Systems, allowing you to enhance your warehouse pallet storage capacity without having to transfer to a larger facility.


Mezzanine Floors

Increase your floor space within your existing space with our Mezzanine Flooring System. This is a semi-permanent floor system that is typically constructed between two permanent original stories in buildings, industrial, or warehousing facilities.


The Mezzanine Flooring System is widely utilized to increase existing space in industrial operations such as storage, manufacturing, and distribution. You may rest confident that our team will strategically map out the vacant space to ensure that the maximum amount of storage is accessible.


Using the Mezzanine Flooring System has several significant advantages. Some of these benefits include the fact that it provides additional room without the need for costly relocation or building extensions, making it a cost-effective solution. They are simple to install and do not require any upkeep.


Walkways

Walkways are used in warehouses and storage facilities to maximize storage capacity by taking advantage of vertical space. Walkways are a versatile and adaptable storage solution since they may practically quadruple the square footage of your existing storage area by leveraging vertical space. These pathways differ from Mezzanine Flooring Systems in that they are not self-supporting constructions and can only be used with high-rise racking systems.

There are numerous benefits to utilizing Walkway Systems. Some of these include: Walkways are a cost-effective solution because they do not require upkeep. They can be dismantled and reassembled in a different place with ease, and they can even be resold as an asset. In comparison to forklifts and other time-consuming and expensive solutions, this is a one-time investment that will last a long time.


Drive-In Racking Systems

 When storing similar materials like roofing shingles, drive-in racking is ideal. Fork trucks drive into storage lanes created by this racking arrangement. The pallets are held in place by heavy-duty rails that run the length of the lanes. The pallet is placed on heavy-duty rails by the fork truck driver as he drives into the racks. Drive-in racks have a high storage density, limited selectivity, and limited rotational ability. 


Cantilever Racking Systems

These systems are used to store things that are too large to fit on pallets. Cantilever racks are used in warehouses to store longer and heavier products horizontally across numerous arms (like lumber or steel pipes). Vertical uprights in pallet racks, on the other hand, limit the length of stored objects. 


Conclusion

The varied aims of your operation, as well as pertinent inventory statistics such as volume and throughput, can help you choose between these types of racking systems. Whatever decision you make, make sure the racking is erected safely and effectively to boost productivity. 13SQFT.COM is the team to call for all of your warehouse storage racks and organization requirements.  Pallet rack installation is one of our specialties, as it allows for improved space efficiency and storage capacity.
