Pallet Racking & Warehouse Racking

Types Of Pallet Racking Systems We Install

Selecting the most suitable type of pallet racking for your needs is essential for achieving the highest levels of operational efficiency and space utilisation. At Avanta we supply and install a full range of pallet racking systems. Common types of racking systems used in the UK include:

Standard Wide Aisle Pallet Racking
The most common type of pallet racking, standard wide aisle pallet racking, is configured using frames and beams, enabling reach trucks and forklifts to deposit and retrieve palletised goods.

Extra Heavy Duty Warehouse Racking
Ideal for larger scale operations or warehousing and storage of extra heavy items or loads, we can design and install warehouse racking to store up to 20 tonnes per level.

Narrow Aisle Racking
By reducing the width of the aisles between racks, narrow aisle racking provides high density storage with full pallet access using specialist forklifts.

Double Deep Racking
With two layers of racks accessed from each aisle, double deep pallet racking increases storage density and is well suited to last in first out (LIFO) operations.

Drive In & Drive Through Racking
Offering multiple layers of racks without aisles, pallets are deposited and retrieved by forklifts driving into or through the row of racks, significantly increasing usable storage space.

Push Back Racking
Push back racking uses wheeled carriers with inclined guide channels, creating a highly efficient dynamic system that enables pallets to be stored up to 4 rows deep.

Shuttle Racking
Using self powered shuttles to move and retrieve pallets, shuttle racking provides an incredibly high storage density and is adaptable to meet a range of uses.

Flow Racking
Flow racking is a dynamic system that uses inclined gravity rollers to move pallets or cartons from the loading end to the picking face, offering high levels of efficiency and storage density.

Carpet Racking
Designed for the storage of items such as long rolls, carpet racking offers increased depth over standard racking, with adaptable levels to maximise storage capacity.

Cantilever Racking
Well suited to storing long and heavy goods that are typically non-palletised, cantilever racking features a unique design that enables the efficient depositing and retrieval of items.

Tailored Commercial Warehouse Racking

Commercial warehouse racking systems are designed and built for purpose, comprising high quality and heavy duty components capable of performing as intended through continuous use. If space is at a premium within a warehouse, pallet racking can be configured to suit the needs of the operation and to improve storage density, product throughput, accessibility and speed of pick.

Warehouse pallet racking systems need to be designed to accommodate the individual needs of each business. It is vital that any racking system within a warehouse is designed to make the most efficient use of the space available. The most suitable pallet racking system for your business is designed around a number of factors, including:

• The type of goods to be stored
• Stock rotation and access requirements
• Sizes & weights of goods & pallets
• Floor space available for the racking installation
• Height available for the racking installation
• The speed of throughput required
• The type of handling equipment used

Consultation
Understanding your needs is the first step to transforming your space. Get in touch with us to discuss your project or provide details of your requirements. We’ll then arrange a visit to your site to identify specific details.

Free Site Survey
Our expert team conducts detailed surveys to assess your specific needs, whether for a large-scale warehouse or a compact storage facility. This includes evaluating the suitability and safety of your warehouse for racking systems, understanding your operations and goods movement, and identifying your project objectives.

Pallet Racking Design
After assessing your site, taking necessary measurements, and understanding your requirements, our team will design a custom racking system for your warehouse. Using detailed plans and 3D CAD modelling, you can visualise the completed project and understand how the new racking system will function.

Proposal
Once we have designed a pallet racking solution that perfectly meets your requirements, we will provide you with a fully detailed proposal. This outlines all aspects of the racking project, including costs, lead time and responsibilities so that you have everything you need to make an informed decision.

Planning & Management
Your dedicated project manager will oversee all aspects of the project and we can handle everything needed including organising inspections where necessary to ensure compliance with building or fire regulations. We can also perform Main Contractor duties within a project.

Installation
The installation steps vary for each project based on factors like system scale and site access. We'll provide full details during the proposal and planning stages.
