Racking solutions

Racking planned for your industry.

A cold room, a café dry store and a fulfilment centre all need steel shelves — but the right depth, spacing and layout are completely different. Here is how we plan each one.

Our planning rules

Four questions behind every layout we draw

Whatever the industry, these decide the rack, the depth and the spacing. Answer them on the quote form and we can plan without a site visit.

How heavy is a full shelf?

Under 200kg, the boltless rack. Up to 400kg, the warehouse rack.

What is the deepest item?

Shelf depth follows your largest carton, plus a hand's width.

How do people move?

Trolleys, pallet jacks or just people — that sets the aisle width.

How fast does stock turn?

Fast movers go between knee and shoulder height, slow ones up top.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

My business is not listed — can you still help?

Almost certainly. We also fit racks for clinics and labs, schools, workshops, event companies, rental storage and churches. Tell us what you store and how often it moves on the quote form, and we will recommend a layout.

Do you design racking layouts for whole warehouses?

Yes, for hand-loaded shelving. We work from your floor plan to place bays, aisles and pick faces, keeping fire exits, DB boxes and sprinkler clearances free. For forklift pallet racking, we will tell you honestly if your project needs a different system. Our guide to planning a commercial racking layout walks through the method.

Can you install outside business hours?

Yes. Restaurants, shops and offices often book early-morning, evening or weekend installation so trading is not disrupted. After-hours work is quoted with your order; see the delivery and installation policy.

How quickly can you install racking for a new site?

Standard sizes are normally in stock, so most commercial jobs are installed within a week or two of the quote being confirmed — sooner when the site is ready and access is booked. Larger fit-outs can be phased area by area.

Do I need a site visit before you can quote?

Usually not. A floor plan with measurements and a few photos is enough to plan and quote most rooms. For large or awkward spaces we may suggest a visit to our showroom, or arrange a site check before confirming the layout.
