Steel racking, built to your building.

Heavy Pallet racking

Selective pallet racking

Direct access to every pallet. The default for mixed SKUs and fast turns.

Back-to-back rows of uprights and beams with an aisle between each pair, so a counterbalance or reach truck can pick any pallet without moving another. Beam levels are adjustable on a 2 in pitch, so the rack can be re-pitched when pallet heights change. Uprights, beams and guards are sized to your pallet weight, truck and seismic category.

• 01Every pallet reachableAny position can be picked from the aisle, which keeps stock control simple.
• 02Adjustable levelsBeam heights re-planned as products change, no new steel needed.
• 03Any SKU mixSuits warehouses with many product codes and uneven turnover.

HeavyAuto Semi-automated

Pallet shuttle racking

A radio shuttle carries pallets down deep lanes. Density without driving into the rack.

The forklift sets a pallet at the lane entry and a battery shuttle takes it to the first free position. Trucks never enter the rack, so there is no impact damage, lanes can be deeper and taller, and one truck serves several lanes at once. Shuttles are moved between lanes by the truck, or run a whole block automatically when combined with lifts. Lane length, pallet type, throughput and FIFO or LIFO rules shape the design.

• 01High pallet densityDeep lanes and tall blocks in the same floor area.
• 02No truck in the rackFaster cycles and no damage to uprights.
• 03Scales to automaticAdd lifts and controls to make the block fully automated. See four-way shuttles.

Heavy Multi-level

Mezzanine racking

Turns ceiling height into extra floors. Storage or picking above, more storage below.

Rack uprights carry a walkable floor, so one building footprint becomes two or three levels. Stairs, handrails, pallet gates and product transfer points are designed into the structure, and column spacing, floor loading and headroom are set by what each level does. Slow movers go up, fast movers stay on the ground floor near dispatch.

• 01More floors, same roofAdds usable levels without extending the building.
• 02Zoned by levelDifferent product groups organized on separate floors.
• 03Safe accessStairs, gates and rails designed to the local building code.

Light Boltless shelving

Steel shelving

Modular bays in five widths for boxed goods, archive cartons and general stores.

Galvanized or painted boltless shelving with shelves that clip in on a 1 in pitch. Bays are 79 in tall and 37 in deep as standard, in five widths, and run as single or back-to-back rows. Dividers, bins and labels organize small parts. When the stock profile changes, shelves move and bays are added without tools.

• 01Five bay widthsFrom 12 in to 37 in to suit the carton or part.
• 02Clip-in shelvesLevels reset by hand as product heights change.
• 03Long service lifeSteel frame built for daily use in stores and workshops.

Standard bay sizes shown in millimeters (metric manufacturing) with the inch equivalent. Other heights and depths on request.

Light Compact archive

Mobile shelving

Shelving blocks roll on floor rails, so only one aisle is open at a time.

Shelving units ride on carriages over floor-mounted rails and move by hand wheel or motor. Instead of a fixed aisle between every pair of rows there is one moving aisle, which roughly doubles the capacity of an archive or stockroom. Floor levelling, rail layout and how often each block is opened are planned together, and heavily used files go in the blocks nearest the entrance.

• 01Half the aisle spaceFixed aisles replaced by one moving aisle.
• 02Controlled accessOnly the block in use is open; the rest stays closed.
• 03Any shelf layoutFiles, boxes, samples or parts on the same carriages.
