A guide to shelving systems

Grace Grace

Shelving systems offer limitless possibilities for retailers and manufacturers to organise their goods. Today’s shelving systems offer a range of options like pallet shelving, wire decking and so on. Investing in the right racking and shelving systems is essential to keep costs down. Each option is suited to a particular purpose, so read further to know which option best suits you.

Types of shelving

Shelving, if placed properly, can keep a warehouse or office better organised by saving space. Depending on the kind of goods being stored and the storage purpose, there are several options available.
Pallet shelving
For heavy goods, pallet shelves are the best option. Pallet racks provide the densest storage systems. Some of the most common pallet shelving systems include drive in, push back and pallet flow. Care should be taken to report and fix pallet rack frame damages as these could cause the pallets to fall.
Wire shelving
Industrial grade wire shelving is easy to clean and maintain, and is also mould- resistant, making it ideal for storing goods that need air circulation. Wire shelves are also sturdy and easy to dismount. Furthermore, it is easy to add more shelving units to an existing wire shelf rack.
Mobile racking
Mobile storage is designed so that the storage offered is double the space occupied by the shelves. These are movable filing storage cabinets that are mounted on a track way. Since the entire unit of cabinets can be moved together, the elimination of aisle space that traditional shelves require, results in tremendous savings.
Archive shelving
These are used to provide secure offline storage for data that is not used frequently but is nevertheless required.
