Warehouse racking is a significant investment in your business, and getting the layout right from the start is essential. The right system can help you increase storage capacity, improve organisation and create a more efficient flow of goods throughout your facility.
Professional installation ensures your racking is assembled and positioned in accordance with the planned layout and the requirements of the equipment and operation using the space.
When planning a warehouse racking installation, it is important to consider:
- The size and layout of your warehouse
- The type and quantity of goods being stored
- Pallet sizes and load requirements
- Forklift and equipment access
- Aisle widths and warehouse traffic flow
- Available ceiling height
- Future expansion plans
- The need for additional storage or handling equipment
By considering the complete operation rather than simply adding as much racking as possible, you can create a warehouse that is easier to manage and better prepared for future growth.
Every warehouse is different, which is why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to storage.
Action Handling can support your project from the initial planning stage through to supplying and installing the equipment needed to create an organised and efficient workspace.
1. Understanding Your Requirements
The first step is understanding how your warehouse operates and what you need to store.
We can help you consider your current requirements as well as future plans, ensuring your storage solution is designed to support your business as it develops.
2. Planning Your Warehouse Layout
The layout of your racking can have a major impact on how efficiently your warehouse operates.
Careful planning can help maximise the use of available floor and vertical space while allowing suitable access for employees and material handling equipment.
We can help you bring together storage, handling and workplace equipment as part of a coordinated warehouse project.
3. Supplying the Right Racking and Storage Equipment
From pallet racking and industrial shelving to additional warehouse storage solutions, choosing the right equipment is an important part of the project.
We can help identify products that are suitable for your operation and work alongside the overall warehouse layout.
4. Professional Installation
Once the plans and equipment are in place, your warehouse racking can be professionally installed to help bring your new storage system together efficiently.
Our aim is to help make the process as straightforward as possible, whether you are installing racking in a single area or fitting out an entire warehouse.
Types of Warehouse Racking We Can Help With
The right type of racking depends on what you store, how frequently goods need to be accessed and the space available.
Pallet Racking
Pallet racking is one of the most popular warehouse storage solutions, providing organised storage for palletised goods and helping businesses make better use of their available height.
Industrial Shelving
For smaller items, cartons and hand-loaded stock, industrial shelving can provide flexible and accessible storage throughout a warehouse or factory.
Long and Bulky Item Storage
Businesses storing longer or unusually shaped products may require specialist storage solutions designed around the materials being handled.
Bespoke Warehouse Storage Solutions
Some projects require a combination of different racking, shelving and storage systems. A carefully planned solution can bring these together to create a workspace designed around your individual operation.
More Than Just Warehouse Racking
At Action Handling, warehouse projects can go beyond the installation of storage equipment.
We can help you consider the wider requirements of your facility, including:
- Pallet racking and warehouse shelving
- Material handling equipment
- Lifting and handling solutions
- Workbenches and packing areas
- Warehouse safety equipment
- Floor protection and safety products
- Access equipment
- Waste and recycling equipment
Taking a complete view of your warehouse can help ensure that storage, handling and workplace areas work together effectively.
From Plan to Installation
Plan → Design → Supply → Install → Protect
Whether you are starting with an empty warehouse, relocating to a new site or improving an existing facility, Action Handling can help you bring the different elements of your project together.
Warehouse Racking Installation for New and Existing Facilities
A new warehouse provides the opportunity to design the storage layout around the way your business works from day one.
However, professional racking installation can also make a significant difference to an existing facility.
You may be:
- Running out of storage space
- Moving to a larger warehouse
- Reorganising your existing layout
- Expanding your product range
- Improving warehouse efficiency
- Replacing or upgrading existing storage
- Creating dedicated areas for different products or operations
Whatever the reason for your project, reviewing your warehouse layout can reveal opportunities to improve the use of your available space.
Planning for Safety and Efficiency
A successful warehouse should be both productive and organised. When planning a racking installation, it is important to consider how people, stock and material handling equipment will move through the facility.
Clear access routes, suitable working areas and a well-organised layout can all contribute to a more efficient working environment.
Warehouse safety should also be considered as part of the wider project, with appropriate protection and safety measures selected for the equipment and operation involved.
