The Ultimate Guide to Types of Pallet Racking for Warehouse Efficiency

Pallet racking is essential for efficient warehouse management. It helps maximise storage space, streamline workflows, and improve safety. Absolute Storage Systems offers reliable pallet racking solutions designed to meet the needs of businesses in Melbourne and beyond. Explore our products and services to optimise your warehouse operations.

What is Pallet Racking?

Pallet racking is a system used to store pallets in warehouses. It helps businesses organise inventory and use available space effectively. Different types of pallet racking are available to suit various warehouse layouts and storage needs. Absolute Storage Systems provides solutions tailored to your requirements. Learn more about pallet racking systems.

Common Types of Pallet Racking Systems

Selective Pallet Racking

Selective pallet racking is a versatile and cost-effective solution. It offers direct access to every pallet, making it ideal for warehouses with diverse inventory.

Double-Deep Pallet Racking

This system stores pallets two-deep, increasing storage density. It works well for businesses with uniform inventory that does not require frequent rotation.

Drive-In and Drive-Through Racking

These systems are perfect for high-volume storage. Drive-in racking uses a single entry and exit point, while drive-through racking allows access from both ends. They save space and reduce aisle requirements.

Push-Back Pallet Racking

Push-back racking stores multiple pallets on rails that move along inclined tracks. This system enhances space efficiency while maintaining quick access to pallets.

Pallet Live Racking

Gravity-fed pallet live racking is ideal for warehouses with high turnover items. Pallets move automatically to the front for easy picking.

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racking supports oversized or irregularly shaped items. It is commonly used for storing timber, pipes, or furniture.

Choosing the Right Pallet Racking System for Your Needs

Selecting the right pallet racking system depends on:

  • Warehouse size and layout: Assess available space to determine the best-fit system.
  • Inventory type and weight: Match the system to the size and nature of your stock.
  • Operational workflow: Choose a system that supports your picking and storage processes.
  • Budget: Balance cost with long-term benefits.
