Adjustable Pallet Racking ( also known as APR)
Standard Aisle or Wide Aisle Pallet Racking
Far and away the most widely used storage system for palletised loads. Many sizes available and easily adjustable to cope with the many and varied products needing to be stored.
Low set-up cost – No specialist handling equipment or building requirements needed.
Often designed around customer’s existing handling equipment, single or double sided runs of pallet racking are separated by wide aisles, allowing standard fork lifts to be used.
A wide range of standard pallet racking accessories complete the package allowing the efficient and safe storage of many items.
Galvanised pallet racking is also available for the storage of products outside or in damp, cold internal environments.
Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking
Using the same components as standard pallet racking, the aisles are much narrower and often the bays much higher, creating a much greater pallet storage capacity in the same floor space.
Pallets are accessed by articulated or specialist trucks guided by a floor wire or floor mounted guide rails.
A very narrow aisle pallet racking system is also available, going much higher and using automated pallet retrieval systems.
Drive-in Pallet Racking
A high density approach, using standard fork lift trucks driving into a block of racking bays with the pallets being stored on skids.
Used mainly where a small number of product lines are stored, due to the first pallet in, being the last pallet out (unless the ‘drive-through’ option is used).
Also used in warehouses for ‘marshalling’ of large quantities of the same product before onward distribution.
Push Back Pallet Racking
Another high density system allowing the use of standard fork lift trucks. Pallets are stored 3 to 4 deep on moving carriers, when a new pallet is loaded at the front the others are pushed back and vice versa.
This pallet racking system again is a first in last out storage system with access only from the front.
Pallet Live Storage
A high density pallet storage system giving good stock rotation with first in first out pallet delivery.
Standard fork trucks are used to load on the rear input face, pallets are stored on roller beds gently sloping forward. When the front pallet is removed from the output face the rest roll down.
Mobile Pallet Racking
Extremely high density and often used in cold stores. Only one aisle is needed to access many runs of pallet racking. Each run is mounted on a mobile base and moved along rails to open up the retrieval aisle.

We have cantilever racking with adjustable arms for varying heights of load or changing needs and lower cost cantilever racking with fixed arms.
Cantilever Racking runs can be single sided up against a wall, or double sided in the middle of a room for access to both sides.
To complete the package cantilever racking can have shelves added to individual levels to store smaller items, or even pallets on the heavier duty systems.
Vertical and Horizontal Storage Racks
Versatile racks for the storage of many items. Vertical Sheet Racks, Bar Racking, Sheet Racking are just some of the names used for this equipment. We also supply horizontal sheets racks of varying designs.
Coil Racking
Light Duty Coil Racks to store coils of electrical cabling in electrical wholesalers are the smaller end of this design, we manufacture coil racks to hold large coils of steel or even paper or carpets. The coil racks store the coils on spindles for the dispensing of the stored material.
Pull Out Racks
Pull out racks give high density storage and the pull out design allows easy access to the stored product.
Pull out racking is one of our bespoke racking systems and therefore comes in many sizes and duties.
Pull out racks are used to store materials for production, or for machine tools for example.
On lighter duty pull out racks the stored product can be accessed by hand, whereas on heavy duty pull out racking, stacker trucks can be used to load and unload the item.
