Your Guide to Pallet Racking Solutions

If you own a warehouse and are looking for cheap pallet storage Rugby, then your best option would be pallet racks. These racking structures have skids or racks for easier storage of palletized substances. These systems are used in conjunction with forklift trucks for proper deposition and storage. Based on size, requirement, and budget etc. one can choose from a variety of pallet racking systems. These are quite sturdy and cheap. They are not particularly pleasing to look at but are terrific at their job. They are highly profitable if the right variety is selected. We thus present below the major types of racks:-



Drive through and drive-in
This system is ideal for warehouses which have high running costs like that of heating cooling etc. but have limited range of goods to handle. The forklift truck here can drive directly into the racking bay to deposit and retrieve loads. They use one position as entry and one position as exit. Since they can drive through the racking, aisles are not required which increases storage capacity. As the system uses a combination of pressure free and compact block stacking, it is beneficial for storing seasonal goods.
Selective pallet racking
This is most commonly used as it is the cheapest and allows easy access to all products. It can be used when stocks are quickly depleted as well as replenished. It is the preferred choice of many wholesale and retail stores. It is available in two styles i.e. the roll-formed style and the structural racking style. In the former which has a teardrop design, pallets are first laid on horizontal beams and then fastened together with movable clips for easier height adjustments. Thus it proves ideal for storing items of different sizes. The latter is similar to roll-formed but their horizontal beams are linked to vertical frames which have bolts which gives you the flexibility of dismantling and restructuring the shelves as per requirement. This gives it the ability to tolerate heavier material.
Motorized mobile pallet rack
Designed especially for warehouses, these motorized mobile racks are configured in such a way that they reduce pallet storage space by half. They make fixed aisles more productive and can be easily controlled with a remote.
