When trying to decide on what type of Pallet Racking to choose for your business the variety of systems can seem bewildering so below I have made a basic guide which covers the more common types of Pallet Racking.

ADJUSTABLE PALLET RACKING (APR)

This is the most common of Pallet Racking Installations, and as such it is very flexible and adjustable to suit a wide range of pallet types and sizes.

NARROW AISLE PALLET RACKING

This type of Pallet Racking is often used where people require very high storage density, but something to bear in mind is that this system also requires special Narrow Aisle Fork Lift Trucks or a Bendi/Flexi truck due to the narrow aisles.

WIDE AISLE PALLET RACKING

This configuration of pallet racking is similar to the above, but as the name suggests it is installed with wide aisles. This means that a conventional Counterbalance Forklift Truck can be used.

DRIVE IN / DRIVE THROUGH/PUSH BACK PALLET RACKING

This type of Pallet Racking offers very high storage density but is generally more suited to warehouses that stock a lot of the same product. This is because pallets are stored several deep on a first in/last out approach.

CANTILEVER RACKING

This is the type of Racking that you generally see at builder’s merchants, and is suited to storing Timber and Steel.

It is important that you choose the right type or the right combinations of Pallet Racking for your business, so please feel free to ask any of our team to discuss this in more detail with you.

Trent Storage and design Ltd, part of the ever expanding Trent Design Group, this week started work installing an Adjustable Pallet Racking system for Pet food producers Golden Acres Pet Food Partners at their new national distribution centre in Chorley Lancashire. The wide aisles Pallet Racking system will be built in two phases over an 11 week period and will provide over 14,000 pallet locations including 2052 Euro Pallets, increasing Golden Acres storage capacity and picking efficiency.

Adjustable Pallet Racking

The Racking system is manufactured by AR storage systems, a leading Spanish company. All storage levels are to be fitted with a sprinkler system supplied by local firm Hall fire. Many of the storage levels are to be fitted with easy shelf waterfall steel mesh decking supplied by QTS ltd. The steel mesh decking will help with the safe storage of one way pallets that are used instead of blues to help keep Golden Acres daily running cost to a minimum. Trent Storage and Design Ltd have been asked to act as Principal Contractor for the project and will manage the health and safety to the CDM regulations during the project.
