Cold storage racks are specialized racks used in low-temperature environments to store and preserve goods. Common items stored on cold storage racks include seafood, food, fruits, vegetables, and other items that require low-temperature storage.
These racks are made from materials that are corrosion-resistant and can withstand long periods in low or extremely low temperatures in cold storage facilities. Maximizing floor space is a priority for every investor, especially for businesses dealing in food or pharmaceuticals. Using racks enhances storage capacity, utilizing up to 70% of the warehouse space.
Nowadays, to efficiently store goods in various spaces and industries, cold storage racks are designed with diverse load capacities, specifications, and separate principles for importing and exporting goods. Below are the most commonly used types of cold storage racks today:
Drive-In racking is the top choice for many cold storage facilities today. With minimal aisle space, these racks utilize 70% - 80% of the warehouse space. They offer numerous advantages, with optimized investment costs being a major benefit.
However, because most of the floor space is used for installing racks and enhancing storage capacity, the selective ability of Drive-In racks is limited, suitable only for storing homogeneous goods. For detailed technical specifications of Drive-In racks.

Cold storage facilities do not always store a single type of product. In such cases, Double Deep racking is a better solution. It offers high storage density by effectively utilizing floor space and warehouse height. With multiple aisles between rack rows, Double Deep enhances selection capability by up to 50%.
The retrieval speed is significantly improved, making it suitable for cold storage of perishable goods like food and seafood with short shelf lives or for continuous goods movement. Many warehouses combine Double Deep racks with Selective racks to maximize efficiency, ensuring 100% accurate access to each pallet of goods.

Selective racking is a solution for storing a variety of frozen goods in a specific space. The design with multiple aisle spaces reduces storage density, but in return, the speed and accessibility increase significantly. This storage system tightly controls the quality of goods inside the warehouse.
The investment cost for this type of rack is relatively low, making it a solution to reduce the burden on your investment budget. Both large and small warehouses can be equipped with this type of rack. Most pallets containing heavy goods on Selective racks can be loaded and unloaded using standard forklifts.

VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) racking is the ideal choice for high-ceiling cold storage facilities, up to 17m high. With significantly narrowed aisle widths, the system improves maximum storage capacity while ensuring 100% accurate access to goods.
A limitation of using VNA racks for cold storage is the requirement for specialized forklifts that can reach high and maneuver well in narrow spaces. The investment cost for these forklifts is relatively high, so carefully consider your budget to make the wisest choice.

Mobile racking is the perfect solution for cold storage warehouses with a professional mechanism where rack rows can change position according to user control. With a single aisle, these racks offer higher storage density than Drive-In racks while maintaining selectivity.
The biggest challenge is the high cost, as many large enterprises struggle to allocate capital for building a mobile racking system. Additionally, the installation process for mobile racks is time-consuming. Therefore, they are rarely chosen by investors.
