Selective warehouse racking
Selective warehouse racking is the most common process of warehouse shelving. The process allows for the storage of different types of materials in different density. It is ideal for warehouses that store different types of materials and products. There are two types of selective warehouse racking. The clip-in selective process entails having pallets hung onto horizontal load beams that are supported by clips to the upright warehouse frames. These clips are adjustable and you can easily adjust them to increase the size of the shelves and therefore store bulkier size materials. On the other hand, bolt-in selective process involves having the horizontal load beams attached to the upright warehouse frames using bolts as opposed to the clips. This means that the horizontal beams are more permanently fixed and cannot be easily adjusted to allow for different sizes of materials. The advantage of the bolt-in method is that the horizontal beams can handle much heavier materials than the clip in process. It is therefore more ideal for warehouses that have heavy material storage that has a standard size packaging.
Drive-in warehouse racking
This process of warehouse racking is specifically designed to enable folk lift trucks to drive in and out the warehouse with ease. This enables storage and removal of materials to be done by folk lift trucks. The ideal warehouses designed for drive-in warehouse shelving have an entry and exit to allow for the trucks to drive in and out the warehouse with ease and order. However, for warehouses with a single entrance and exit, they are require to arrange their warehouse in a last in first out (LIFO) method to allow for convenient removal and storage of materials.
Push-back warehouse shelving
This warehouse racking design is specifically designed to increase on the storage space of the warehouse. The pallets are supported to the load beams by wheeled carts that roll on rails. Once a pallet is loaded, it is pushed to the extreme end by rolling it deep into the columns. Every subsequent load is pushed against the former one to increase on the storage space.
