Planning a new warehouse, relocating or expanding? Let's create a storage solution that works for your business.
Make the Most of Your Available Warehouse Space
Warehouse space is valuable, and making better use of it can have a significant impact on the efficiency of your operation.
The right storage solution can help you:
- Increase available storage capacity
- Make better use of vertical space
- Keep stock organised and easier to access
- Improve the flow of goods through your warehouse
- Create dedicated areas for different products
- Reduce clutter around working areas
- Support future growth and expansion
Rather than simply adding more shelves or racking, a carefully planned approach looks at how your warehouse works as a whole.
Every business stores different products and operates in different ways. That's why choosing the right type of storage is essential.
Action Handling can help with a wide range of warehouse storage equipment and solutions.
Pallet Racking
Pallet racking provides an effective way to store palletised goods while making use of the available height within your warehouse.
The right configuration will depend on the type of pallets and products you store, the quantity of stock and how frequently it needs to be accessed.
As part of a wider warehouse project, pallet racking can be planned alongside forklift access, handling equipment and working areas to create a practical overall layout.
Industrial Shelving
Industrial shelving is ideal for storing cartons, components, smaller products and hand-picked stock.
With a range of sizes and configurations available, shelving can be used to create organised storage areas for a wide variety of warehouse and factory environments.
Long and Bulky Item Storage
Some products don't fit neatly onto standard shelving or pallet racking.
Long, heavy or unusually shaped materials may require specialist storage solutions designed around the items being stored and how they need to be accessed.
Small Parts and Picking Storage
Efficient storage isn't just about large products. Smaller components and frequently picked items need to be organised so employees can find and access them quickly.
Dedicated shelving, bins and storage systems can help create practical picking and packing areas that support a more efficient operation.
Bespoke Warehouse Storage Solutions
Many warehouses require a combination of different storage systems.
By bringing together racking, shelving, specialist storage and material handling equipment, it is possible to create a solution designed around the specific needs of your business.
Before choosing warehouse storage equipment, it's important to understand how the space is currently being used and what the future requirements of the business may be.
Key considerations include:
What Are You Storing?
The size, weight, shape and quantity of your products will all influence the type of storage required.
How Often Do You Need Access?
Frequently accessed goods may need to be positioned differently from slower-moving or seasonal stock.
How Much Space Do You Have?
A good storage plan considers both the available floor space and vertical height of your warehouse.
What Equipment Is Used?
Forklifts, pallet trucks and other material handling equipment need suitable space to operate safely and efficiently.
Are You Planning for Future Growth?
A storage solution should consider not only your current requirements but also the potential for your business to grow and change.
Storage is just one part of an efficient warehouse.
Action Handling can help businesses bring together a wider range of equipment as part of a complete warehouse project, including:
- Pallet racking and shelving
- Material handling equipment
- Lifting and positioning equipment
- Pallet trucks and stackers
- Workbenches and packing stations
- Access equipment
- Warehouse safety products
- Floor protection
- Waste and recycling equipment
By considering these elements together, you can create a warehouse where storage and everyday operations work side by side.
Plan → Design → Supply → Install → Protect
Whether you're creating a new facility or improving an existing one, a complete approach can help make the project easier to manage from start to finish.
Moving into a new warehouse is the ideal opportunity to plan your storage properly from the beginning.
Instead of trying to adapt your operation around an existing layout, you can consider how products will arrive, where they will be stored, how they will be picked and how they will move through the building.
A carefully planned solution can bring together storage, handling and working areas to support the way your business operates.
You don't need to move premises to improve your warehouse storage.
If your current facility feels cluttered, inefficient or short on space, reviewing your existing storage can help identify opportunities for improvement.
You may be able to:
- Reorganise existing storage areas
- Make better use of warehouse height
- Create dedicated zones for different products
- Improve access to frequently used stock
- Introduce additional shelving or racking
- Create more efficient picking and packing areas
Even relatively small changes can help make a warehouse easier to manage.
Choosing the right equipment is important, but understanding how it fits into your wider operation is just as valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Warehouse Storage Solutions
What is the best storage solution for a warehouse?
The best solution depends on what you are storing, the space available, how frequently products need to be accessed and the equipment used in your operation. Many warehouses use a combination of pallet racking, shelving and specialist storage.
How can I increase storage space in my warehouse?
Making better use of vertical height, reorganising your layout and selecting storage designed for your products can all help increase capacity. A review of your overall warehouse layout can identify opportunities to use the available space more effectively.
What is the difference between warehouse racking and shelving?
Racking is typically used for heavier or palletised goods, while shelving is often used for smaller items and hand-loaded stock. The most suitable option will depend on your products and handling requirements.
