The Best Type of Factory Shelving and Racking

When it comes to purchasing the right shelving and racking for your factory, there are countless options available, from pallet racking to industrial shelving. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the best types of factory shelving and racking on offer to help you choose the perfect fit for your business’s needs.  

Pallet Racking  

Pallet racking is one of the most popular and efficient solutions for factory or warehouse shelving and storage. Designed for storing palletised goods, pallet racking maximises vertical space while maintaining easy access to products. 

Benefits of Pallet Racking:  

  • Customisable: At Racking Solutions, we specialise in designing bespoke pallet racking systems tailored to your warehouse layout and inventory requirements. 
  • High Storage Capacity: Pallet racking allows you to store large quantities of goods vertically, freeing up valuable floor space. 
  • Versatile: Pallet racking is suitable for a wide variety of industries, from manufacturing to distribution centres. We provide a wide range of pallet racking accessories to further secure your pallet racking.  

At Racking Solutions, we not only design pallet racking but we also provide installation services. All our installers are SEMA-trained, ensuring your racking is both safe and efficient. With years of experience in designing and installing pallet racking systems, we provide solutions that not only meet current demands but are scalable for future growth.  

Chrome Wire Shelving  

For factories that require durable but breathable shelving options, wire mesh shelving is an excellent choice. This type of shelving is particularly ideal for businesses dealing with food or perishable goods, as chrome wire shelving provides excellent air circulation.  

Benefits of Wire Mesh Shelving: 

  • Durability: Constructed from strong, high-quality steel, chrome wire shelving can withstand heavy loads. 
  • Improved Visibility: The open design provides clear visibility of stored items, reducing the time spent searching for inventory. 
  • Low Maintenance: Its open structure prevents the build-up of dust, making it easier to clean and maintain. 

At Racking Solutions, all our chrome wire shelving is certified to NSF International Standards for food storage, resistant to rust, features adjustable feet and shelves, a high storage capacity and an easy-to-build design with no nuts or bolts.   

Industrial Shelving 

Industrial shelving is a highly versatile option for factories looking for cost-effective yet strong shelving. Suitable for small parts, tools, and other medium-sized items, industrial shelving is ideal for both general storage and heavy-duty use. 

Benefits of Industrial Shelving: 

  • Heavy Load Capacity: Industrial shelving is designed to support substantial weight, making it perfect for factories. 
  • Flexible Configuration: Our industrial shelving can be easily adjusted and expanded to meet changing storage needs. 

At Racking Solutions, we provide a range of industrial shelving units with weight capacities of up to 500kg per shelf and heights of 2200mm, ensuring you can organise your workspace efficiently and cost-effectively. 

Melamine Racking 

If you’re looking for factory shelving that is easy to clean and can help you meet hygiene standards, melamine racking is a great choice. Melamine racks are both strong and give a sleek, modern look. Melamine racking is also perfect to be used as medical storage racking 

Benefits of Melamine Racking: 

  • Smooth Finish: The melamine surface provides an easy-to-clean surface and polished look, making it ideal for customer-facing areas or clean environments. 
  • Durable: Melamine racking is resistant to scratches, spills, and wear, ensuring longevity. 
  • Multi-Purpose: Melamine racking can be used in a variety of settings, from storage areas to workstations. 

At Racking Solutions, our melamine racking can support up to 400kg per shelf and feature adjustable shelves and a wipe-clean surface, making it ideal for factory use. We offer a wide range of melamine racking, including heavy duty melamine racking and lighter duty melamine racking  

Bulk Buy Shelving  

For business customers that require large-scale storage, bulk buy shelving is the most practical option. Whether you need economy shelving for light storage, heavy-duty racking for heavier items, or chrome wire shelving for improved air circulation, at Racking Solutions, we have you covered.
