Top Warehouse Racking Solutions to Maximize Storage Space

Efficient warehouse storage is crucial for optimizing operations and maximizing your available space. Choosing the right warehouse racking system enhances storage capacity, streamlines inventory management, and improves accessibility. At Metric we can help you find the best industrial racking solutions for your warehouse.

Selective racking is the most common system used in warehouses. It provides direct access to each pallet, making it ideal for businesses with high inventory turnover. This system is flexible, allowing for customization based on load size and weight.

Designed for storing long or bulky items like lumber, pipes, and steel bars, cantilever racking offers open access without front columns obstructing loading and unloading.

Pallet flow racks use gravity rollers to move pallets from the loading side to the picking side, following the FIFO method. This system is ideal for warehouses handling perishable or time-sensitive products.

This system allows for high-density storage by enabling pallets to slide on inclined rails. Push-back racking operates on a LIFO basis and is an excellent solution for businesses with limited space but a need for high storage capacity.

These high-density storage solutions maximize space by reducing aisle requirements. Drive-in racking operates on a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, while drive-through racking follows a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) system, suitable for perishable goods.

Selecting the best warehouse racking system depends on several factors, including:

• Inventory Rotation: If your warehouse requires FIFO storage, pallet flow racking is the best option.
• Load Type and Weight: Heavy-duty loads may require cantilever or selective racking for stability.
• Warehouse Layout: Consider the available floor space and ceiling height when choosing a racking system.
• Storage Density Requirements: High-density racking systems like drive-in or push-back racking are suitable for businesses with limited space.
