As far as warehouse racking solutions are concerned, warehouse managers are constantly looking out for better and better quality equipments. They do this because their sole motive is to increase the storage capacity without consuming too much of space. For this reason, they go through the most exclusive range available with the suppliers that includes the following. 



Selective pallet system
  • This happens to be the most commonly used solution in the warehouses across the globe.
  • You’ll find this version coming in two different forms. They are – the rolled formed type and the second is structural bolt-together type.
  • The roll-formed is mostly manufactured in teardrop style and the pallets are made to rest on the horizontal beams.
  • The beam configuration can be changed pretty easily and the shelves of this warehouse shelving Brisbane can be modified really easily.
  • This means that they can be easily adjusted to different heights to accommodate various load sizes. 
  • This way, this solution emerges as a boon for warehouses that needs to store a wide variety of products of different sizes.
  • On the other hand, we have this structural system that is very similar to the rolled-form version with the only difference that the horizontal load beams are attached to the uprights.
  • Because of this attribute, you’ll find it capable of wearing more weight than usual.
  • One more feature of this version is that is adjustable and this means that the shelves can be constructed, reconfigured, dismantled and reused as necessary.
  • The bottom line about this selective pallet version is that it will provide an easy access to all products at all times.
  • Because of this, you’ll find this version commonly used in a “big-box” distribution application, as well as in retail store inventory rooms, cold storage applications, van racking, wholesale stores, etc.

Double Deep/Deep Reach solution
  • This version is the expanded version of the one discussed above with the difference that this one is expanded by utilizing the vertical height in a facility.
  • According to the suppliers of solutions like archive shelving, warehouse racking, etc., the top benefit is that it can increase pallet density while maintaining a high number of picks.
  • Experts further say that this version can be manufactured using either roll-formed or structural-racking components.

Drive In/Drive Thru System
  • In this pointer, the drive-in system requires the operators to drive inside the warehouse racking system from one side to remove or store pallets from that same side.
  • In some cases, you’ll find them having walls on the other end of the shelves.
  • In the drive through version, the operators have to drive into the racks from one side and remove pallets from the opposite side.

Some other warehouse racking shelves that warehouse owners can go through are – 
  • Push Back System 

It works by placing pallet loads on a series of nesting carts fed forward by gravity on structural steel rails. 
  • The Pallet Flow System

This is driven by gravity and perfect for fast-moving product with First-In/First Out (FIFO) stock rotation.
  • The Cantilever Racking System

Ideal for loads that require no obstruction at the pick face.
