Need a new shelving or racking system? Here are your options
Is your business looking for a new and more effective solution for optimising storage space in your business? If so, there are plenty of good options to choose from, but you should bear your budget and the needs of your business in mind before making a final decision.
The first and most popular type of shelving system you should know about is pallet racking. This is a heavy-duty materials handling system that is specially designed for the storage of palletised goods. Pallet racking is best suited for industrial environments such as warehouses and factories, but it can be found in a range of different sizes so it can be used in other environments too.
Long span shelving, sometimes known as wide span shelving, is another popular system and one that is similar to pallet racking in its make-up. It differs, however, in the way that it has fewer components, can be cheaper to buy and install, and is able to carry greater weights over a longer span.
There are also racking and shelving solutions which have been designed for use in particular industries, such as motor parts storage racks, for example. These can be used in automotive businesses, for storing everything from car doors to tyres. If you run a laundry or fashion business, on the other hand, you can use multi-tiered garment hanging systems.
Other types of systems and solutions that are available include archive shelving, multi-tier shelving systems, high bay shelving and carton-live picking racks.
One solution that many businesses find very useful is mobile shelving, which can be moved and relocated at a moment’s notice. This type of storage shelving can also be used to store high densities of stock or materials in very small spaces, as there is no need for multiple aisles or any walkways.
Dexion Racking is used in many industrial buildings and warehouses to help with the storage demands of the business. For expert advice on the options open to your business contact the www.abcracking.co.uk web site.
