What is pallet racking?

Pallet racking is a material handling racking system used in warehouses and distribution centres to store pallets vertically.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to racking solutions. In Australia, there are many different types of racking solutions available. Which is suitable for any business depends on the inventory being stored, how frequently it needs to be accessed, pallet weights and materials use requirements.

Pallet Racking for Warehouses

Key Benefits of Pallet Racking

What are the benefits of pallet racking storage solutions in a warehouse to increase storage and efficiencies? Pallet racking is a material handling racking system used in warehouses and distribution centres to store pallets vertically. The key benefits of pallet racking in a warehouse include:

Increased Storage Density

Pallet racking allows businesses to utilise vertical space and maximise storage capacity within the same footprint. This increases the overall storage density and pallet capacity of the warehouse.

Improved Warehouse Efficiency

Pallet racking in warehouses help workers find pallets easily, saving money on labour and making tasks smoother. The strategic placement of racks can also optimise aisle spacing and forklift navigation.

Enhanced Inventory Management

Pallet racking helps with better inventory management. It allows for different storage methods such as FIFO or FEFO. These methods help manage inventory and decrease product waste.

Custom Design

You can customise pallet racking to meet the specific requirements of a warehouse. This includes storing various pallet sizes, weights, and storage needs.

Easier Expansion

Pallet racking is easy to expand as a business grows. You don’t have to take apart and rebuild the storage system. This makes it easier to accommodate the growth of your business.

Improved Safety

Pallet racking keeps products off the ground, reducing the risk of damage and minimising potential hazards for warehouse workers

Types of Pallet Racking

Type of RackingKey Features
Adjustable Pallet Racking
  • Standard adjustable pallet racking that uses forklifts to access pallets stored in aisles.
  • Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) pallet racking reduces aisle width to increase storage density, requiring specialised VNA forklifts.
  • Double Deep pallet racking that stores pallets two deep to increase density, using a FIFO (first-in, first-out) system.
Compact Pallet Racking Systems
  • Push-Back LIFO (last-in, first-out) racking that uses a system of shuttles or rollers to store pallets behind the front row.
  • Drive-In Racking or Drive-Thru racking that allows forklifts to directly access multiple pallet positions, maximising density.
  • Mobile racking that uses motorised bases to shift racks and open up aisles as needed.
Live Pallet Racking
  • Gravity FIFO (first-in, first-out) live storage systems that use rollers to move pallets through the rack.
  • Push-Back LIFO live storage uses a controlled force to push pallets back as new ones are added.
Picking Solutions
  • Longspan shelving for manual storage of smaller, lighter items without the need for forklifts.

Pallet Racking Frequently Asked Questions

We’re here to help with all your pallet racking questions.

How much does a racking system cost?

The cost of your pallet racking system will depend on several factors including the size of your warehouse, the volume of inventory you need to store and the system you choose to install. The larger your warehouse and inventory needs are, the greater the size and cost of your system will be.

Can I change the configuration of racking after installation?

Yes, many pallet racking systems allow for changes to the configuration after installation, such as adjusting shelving and horizontal beams. However, any structural changes must be done by qualified professionals after consulting the system designer to ensure safety.

Can I install pallet racking myself?

It is possible to install pallet racking yourself, but it is highly recommended to hire a team of specialists with the proper qualifications and experience to ensure it is installed safely and compliantly.

How high can pallet racking go?

There is no legal limit on the height of pallet racking, but the average height is around 7-8 meters, as that is the maximum reach of most forklifts.

How much weight can pallet racking hold?

The weight capacity of pallet racking varies based on the design, manufacturer, and components used. Heavy duty systems can support very high weights, but the specific capacity should be checked. Most racking systems are designed to support pallets of 1000kgs to 1500kgs.

Should I bolt pallet racking to the floor?

For safety purposes, your racking system is required to be bolted to the floor. This protects any staff or visitors to your warehouse in the event your racking system fails. Inspectors will check your system for bolts when checking for safety and compliance.
