Warehouse racking and pallet storage systems

Racking is the skeleton of a warehouse: it decides how many pallets fit into the footprint, which aisle width the trucks will need and how fast picking can run. That is why racking is specified together with the equipment, not separately.

Which system suits which job

Adjustable pallet racking gives direct access to every pallet and remains the default for a wide product range. Drive-in racking raises density for large batches of a single SKU but constrains the order of retrieval. Cantilever racking exists for long loads — pipe, profile and timber. A mezzanine adds a second working level, while shelving is enough for small parts.

How to choose

• Pallet size, weight and height — the beam pitch is calculated from these.
• Clear height, column grid, sprinkler layout and lighting runs.
• Truck class: a reach truck needs roughly a 2.5 m aisle, a counterbalance forklift 3.5 m or more.
• Turnover: if FIFO is required, adjustable or push-back racking replaces drive-in.
• Safety: upright protectors, end-of-aisle barriers and anti-collapse mesh.

What DepoHub offers

We survey the building, calculate pallet flow, produce the layout, install the racking and document the load ratings. The system is matched to the trucks that will work in it — warehouse trucks and safety barriers belong to the same project. See our services and send a request for a site survey.
