4 Chapter 1: Racking System The racking system in your warehouse facility serves as the entire framework for your operation. When choosing an industrial warehouse racking option, you need racking solutions that are ideal for your space and built to last. The first step is to examine the space and decide if shelving or racking is predominately needed. 4 For larger areas, larger items, or high product flow, industrial warehouse racks will probably be the most effective and efficient option. The next step is to decide which style of rack is the best solution for your space. There are various options to choose from exploring all of the options is the best way to customize your warehouse in order to maximize your industrial space.

5 At the very heart of a fully functional, successful warehouse lies a well-planned system with storage and logistics as key aspects. The prime question to ask oneself should be, what kind of racking or shelving structure would I benefit most from? Your warehouse-racking layout can include a small part of your space, or used to furnish your entire warehouse. With a wide range of options to choose from, customizing your industrial warehouse racking to maximize density and efficiency will be a breeze. 5

6 Chapter 2: Space Making the most of your floor space is essential for any business. Instead of just considering the dimensions of the ground room, think about how you can utilise your vertical space too. Different storage solutions offer different advantages considering space. When deciding on storage space usage and access to storage should be kept in mind, there is no point is having plent of storage but no way to access it. 6

7 What will you be storing? Consider not only the weight of the load that will be stored but the dimensions. Before making an investment in good quality racking, the weight of your load should be a main consideration and how it will be moved going forward i..e forklift truck 7

8 What capacity do you need? Capacity is another key factor in your racking system. You should never assume your capacity requirements always have the correct weights, in order to choose a system with your largest capacity in mind. 8

9 Selectivity Selectivity, or how often you need to be able to access each individual rack or shelve, is also a major part of your system choice. If you need to be able to access all of your shelves/racks at once, you will need a lower density storage system. 9
