Insights
Answers to the questions our customers ask most: warehouse planning, choosing racking, load capacity, safety and maintenance.
What is a radio shuttle system and when does it pay off?
A radio shuttle is compact pallet racking in which a battery-powered, remote-controlled shuttle moves pallets through deep lanes on its own. It pays off when you hold many pallets of the same item and few different items, especially in cold stores and freezers.
When is a mezzanine floor worth it?
A mezzanine pays off when the hall has plenty of height but too little floor area, and extending or moving would cost more. The floor must carry the column loads and the use must suit a second level.
Pallet or cantilever racking: which should you choose?
Pallet racking suits palletised goods and standard unit loads. Cantilever racking suits long and irregular items such as pipes, profiles, sheets and timber, because there are no front uprights in the way.
What affects the price of pallet racking?
The price of pallet racking is driven mainly by frame height, load per level, number of pallet positions and beam length, followed by accessories, installation, transport and documentation.
