FAQ's
Though the terms racking and shelving are often used interchangeably, racking refers to industrial shelving; this means racking is often much larger, made from heavy duty metals, and is typically accessed by retrieval machinery, such as forklifts, only.
Racking may be used for larger quantities of stock, or for larger and heavier stock.
There are various types of racking, which utilise different storage and retrieval methods. Selective racking, drive in racking, and carton flow racking are examples of different racking systems.
Selective racking is used for storing goods which are accessed frequently; with this system, stock can be picked freely.
Drive-in racking allows for a forklift to access the pallets directly, from the side of the aisle; this system enables a first in, last out stock method.
The popular carton flow rack sits on a slight incline so as to allow a first in, first out stock method. The incline enables stock to move forward on a pulley system or roller when stock at the front is removed.
Racking uprights are used across multiple industries for storage.
In the retail industry, racking lets retailers store their goods and display them for sale in a safe and secure way.
Racking is also popular in the food and drink industry, where it is often used for storing goods in warehouses. The height of the racking can be adjusted to suit the products being stored, and it can be quickly adapted to changes in stock levels.
Manufacturing racking is used to store raw materials and components, which makes them easier to access. This system of storage enables manufacturers to locate specific parts quickly and use machinery to access the stock. It also helps with stock control by keeping an accurate record of the quantities of goods held at any one time.
