Which Racking System is Suitable for Your Warehouse?

What is a Racking System?

Racking System is a structure made of steel, reinforced with bolts and screws, and assembled into sturdy and solid racks. It can hold loads ranging from a few hundred to several thousand kilograms. Depending on the usage environment, the surface of the racking system may be powder-coated or galvanized—these are surface treatment methods that significantly extend the product's lifespan.

Why Should You Use a Racking System?

There are many reasons why a warehouse needs a racking system for storing goods, but the three reasons outlined below will highlight its necessity:

Space Saving

Racking is not only a tool for storing warehouse goods but is also known for its ability to optimize space by being designed and positioned in the most suitable locations within the warehouse. Empty spaces, such as corner areas or high voids, seem to be fully utilized by steel racking systems, significantly increasing the density of stored goods. This is one of the major benefits that prompt businesses to use warehouse racking.

Organized Goods Arrangement

Warehouse racking systems help businesses create a standardized layout for the items that need to be stored. Each row is marked with nameplates that serve as location markers. Whenever a request for goods input/output is received, the operator can go directly to the correct location, saving time searching and facilitating inventory control.

Safe Storage and Preservation of Goods

Compared to the past when goods were stored directly on the floor, it was noted that a significant percentage of goods would be damaged within a short period due to factors like moisture, termites, ants, and insects that nested underneath the pallets. Racking systems emerged as a solution to completely eliminate these risks, allowing goods to be stored for longer periods while maintaining their quality.

Arrange goods neatly and scientifically on the rack system

Which Racking System is Suitable for Your Warehouse?

Depending on the specific needs of each business, there will be appropriate solutions. Additionally, there is no binding regulation that requires a warehouse to use only one type of racking system. Instead, the business can choose to integrate multiple types of racking to fully utilize unused space, thereby upgrading the storage capacity more effectively. Below are some of the most commonly used types of racking:

Pallet Shuttle Racking

The Shuttle Racking system is currently the most intelligent and optimal pallet storage solution. This racking system does not simply operate manually like other types; instead, it incorporates Eurorack's Shuttle Wifi Robot technology to automatically move pallets in or out of the racking via guide rails. Using this type of racking can save businesses a significant amount of labor costs as well as warehouse expansion fees.

Currently, the investment cost for Shuttle automated racks is slightly higher than that of conventional racking systems; however, the benefits it brings are immense. To determine whether you should choose this type of rack, you should gather more information from the article: Should We Build an Intelligent Automated Rack System?

Selective Pallet Racking

The Selective Racking system is designed simply but helps businesses maximize storage space, allowing for flexible adjustments based on actual needs and compatibility with various types of forklifts. This system provides a cost-saving solution and increases work efficiency. Whether the goods are heavy or light, the Selective Racking system meets all requirements and allows for easy adjustment of shelf spacing to fit the product size.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Pallet Racking

This type of racking is commonly used in warehouses with limited space but high storage and height requirements. With its narrow aisle design, the VNA Racking system helps reduce the gap between racks, thereby increasing storage density. The standout feature of this racking system is its ability to access each pallet position, making goods retrieval easy and accurate.

Medium Duty Racking – The Optimal Choice for Medium and Light Loads

In contrast to the three racking types mentioned above, the Medium Duty Racking system has a medium storage capacity, meaning the maximum load capacity per shelf is under 700kg. Therefore, if your warehouse stores small and light goods that need to be stored on racking systems to ensure tight control, the Medium Duty Racking system is the most suitable choice.
