Everything You Need to Know About Warehouse Racking


Warehouse Racking Overview In general, warehouse racking is the shelf system, arrangement, and a section of the physical layout necessary to carry the inventory items. Warehouse racking plays a vital role in how simple & quick it is to store, organize, and retrieve your inventory items! Warehouse racking can hinder or accelerate warehouse operations. With proper warehouse racking, warehouse managers maximize space and optimize warehouse organization for efficiency and a streamlined picking process.


Types of Warehouse Racking Structures ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Selective Racking System Push Back Racking System Drive-In and Drive-through Carton Flow Racking System Narrow Aisle Racking System Mobile Racking Satellite Racking System


Selective Racking System The simplest of all racking systems, selective racking permits only one-unit-deep pallet loads to be stored side-by-side. This makes all pallets accessible from the aisle. For greater storage density, double deep rack accommodates two pallet loads staged back-to-back.


Push Back Racking System

This is another of the most useful warehouse racking systems developed primarily to use space by depth instead of width! This system's depth structure reduces the amount of space and increases stockpiling thickness. Explicitly utilized for mass stockpiling, this framework stores item that length 2-5 pallets. At the point when a pallet is stacked onto the framework, it pushes the following pallet back, and when a pallet is unloaded, it is pushed to the front of the system.


Drive-In and Drivethrough

Drive-in and drive-through is another amazing racking system that enables the forklift to drive directly into the lane of stacked rows, termed as bay. The major difference between a drive-in and a drive-thru racking system is whether the bays have an entrance at only one end, or at both ends!


Carton Flow Racking System

This method of racking is also known as gravity flow or dynamic racks of flow. The racking system is typically a storage system with high density that uses depth to increase space. In addition, a slightly inclined rail with rollers is also utilized in this racking system that allows pallets to travel easily through the sloped area.


Mobile Racking Mobile Racking is a storage solution in which the metal structure is mounted on mobile bases or a chassis which are guided by rails fixed to the floor. With this movement of the racking bays only one work aisle is opened for forklift access: the aisle to work in. This type of industrial racking has electric motors and remote traction elements that enable its movement from one side to the other.


Multi-Tier Racking Multi-Tier Racking is a type of manual industrial racking that makes it possible to optimise the available space of a warehouse thanks to use of the height. In this storage system, aisle levels at different heights are created which are accessed by stairs.
