At NSI Projects, we understand that an efficient storage solution is crucial for maximising your warehouse space and enhancing productivity. Choosing the right type of pallet racking can make a significant difference in your operations. Here are some of the key types of pallet racking systems and their benefits:
📦 Wide Aisle Pallet Racking
Wide aisle racking is the most common type of pallet racking. It offers easy access to every pallet, making it ideal for warehouses with a high turnover of products. The wide aisles allow for quick and efficient loading and unloading using standard forklifts.
đź“Ź Narrow Aisle Racking
Narrow aisle racking optimises storage density by reducing the width of the aisles. This type of racking is perfect for warehouses looking to maximise floor space while maintaining selectivity. Special narrow aisle forklifts are used to navigate the tighter spaces, improving storage capacity.
🏗️ Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking is designed for storing long, bulky items like pipes, timber, or steel. With no front uprights, it allows for easy loading and unloading of oversized items, making it a versatile option for warehouses dealing with non-standard inventory.
🔄 Pallet Live and Push Back Racking
Pallet live racking uses inclined rollers to move pallets from the loading end to the picking end, ensuring a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system. Push back racking, on the other hand, operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis, with pallets being pushed back on inclined rails. Both systems enhance storage density and provide quick access to products.
đźšš Drive-in Racking
Drive-in racking allows forklifts to drive directly into the storage lanes, enabling high-density storage. This system is ideal for storing large quantities of similar items and works on a LIFO basis. It’s a cost-effective solution for maximising vertical space.
Selecting the right pallet racking system is essential for improving your warehouse operations. At NSI Projects, we offer expert advice and customised solutions to help you choose the best racking system for your needs.
