Doing an internet search for racking also allows you to get a better idea of what to kind of racking is best for you. So let me get you started by giving you some basic information on racking solutions. But before I tell you about the different kinds of racking let me give you some information as to how racking is set up.
Let me give you explain it by giving you an example. Say for instance that Jim would like to have racking set up at his warehouse so that he can sell more product. In order to store more product he needs to make use of the space which is under the ceiling. Racking offers him the possibility of utilising this space because of its vertical structure. Racking is very simply vertical structures which have horizontal beams secured to the structure used for storage. These pallets can safely reach up to 10 metres high when secured properly. They can be arranged in different lay outs dependent on the amount of stock which needs to be stored, the type of stock and whether or not a forklift needs to be used in order to load the stock.
Pallet racking
Pallet racking is adjustable and is very commonly used in warehouses. Pallet racking can be either bolted or boltless, with the former offering more support therefore you can use it when needing to store very heavy items.
Cantilever racking
Cantilever racking is used for storing long heavy objects such as poles, pipes and steel or wooden beams. In order to offer more support they are reinforced with sets of diagonal bracing which is placed under the wooden beams.
Selective racking
Selective racking is popular because it is very versatile, in the sense that you can store things of various shapes and sizes on them. They are made of steel and can either be arranged either as single racking or back to back, resulting in easy access to all objects on the shelves.
Drive- in warehouse racking
In most cases forklifts are used in warehouses in order to reach things which are stored on the very top sections of the racking. For this reason drive- in warehouse racking refers to racking which has been placed in such a way as to provide easy access for the forklifts to reach the stock.
Push back racking
Push back racking the pallets which are placed on supported boxes these boxes can be moved because they have wheels under them. Push back racking allows for more storage as the pallets can be pulled out so that you can pack or unpack goods. Because of this you can move racking right against each other giving you much more space.
