Planning a Racking Installation: Five Checks
Racking is only as good as the building and floor it stands on. Before choosing a system, these are the questions worth answering:
- What are you storing? Pallet sizes, the heaviest loaded pallet and how many pallets go on each level set the beam and frame capacities.
- How fast does stock move? Fast-moving goods suit selective racking with direct access to every pallet; slow-moving, high-volume stock may suit denser drive-in storage.
- Can the floor carry it? Rack legs put concentrated loads on the slab. The slab's thickness and condition, and where its joints run, should be checked before the layout is fixed.
- Which forklifts will you use? Truck type and lift height determine aisle widths and the top beam level, and together they decide how many pallet positions fit in the space.
- How will it be kept safe? Load signs on every bay, column guards at aisle ends and regular inspections for damaged uprights keep racking safe once it is in use.
Our mezzanine floors guide covers the next step when racking alone does not give you enough space.
