Prestige specializes in delivering premier pallet racking solutions tailored to each warehouse’s unique needs, emphasizing durability, space optimization, and operational efficiency. We can custom design these racking systems to cater to various storage requirements, enabling businesses to confidently enhance their storage capabilities.
The Importance of a High-Quality Racking Systems
Implementing high-quality pallet rack systems can help warehouses transform their operations and achieve new levels of efficiency, safety, and profitability. These systems serve as the backbone of warehousing, supporting businesses in meeting the ever-increasing demands of today's fast-paced supply chains. Here's how:
- Maximize Vertical Space Utilization: High-quality racking allows warehouses to take advantage of vertical space. Pallet rack that is optimized for clearance within a footprint can increase storage capacity without expanding the facility’s footprint. While a facility may wish to design a racking system that maximizes ceiling height, special attention should be paid to the equipment that is going to load the system to ensure it has the functionality (i.e., lift height) required.
- Enhance Inventory Management: Well-designed racking systems facilitate better inventory organization and tracking. With clearly defined storage locations and easy access to all stock, warehouses can implement more efficient inventory management practices. This improved organization leads to faster retrieval times, reduced errors, and more accurate stock counts.
- Improve Warehouse Safety: In warehouse environments, safety is a critical consideration. High-quality racking is designed with safety in mind, aiming to adhere to or surpass established safety standards. These systems often include features such as weight capacity indicators, safety pins, and materials best suited to absorb unintended impact. These features are intended to reduce recordable accidents and near misses, contributing to the protection of employees, inventory, and a company’s bottom line.
- Increase Operational Efficiency: With proper aisle spacing and strategically placed racks, forklifts and other material handling equipment can move more freely and quickly. This improved flow translates to faster loading and unloading times, more efficient order fulfillment, and overall increased productivity.
- Adapt to Changing Inventory Needs: When designing pallet rack systems, the overall design and intended use case play critical roles in determining the system’s flexibility and durability. For businesses requiring adaptable storage solutions, Prestige considers designs that prioritize flexibility, allowing for easier reconfiguration to meet evolving inventory requirements. Conversely, for setups where frequent changes are not anticipated and growth is not expected, systems can be designed with a permanent footprint in mind. This approach ensures that each racking system optimally supports the specific operational needs of the business.
- Support Compliance with Industry Regulations: High-quality warehouse racking helps businesses meet various industry regulations and standards. From weight capacity compliance to proper aisle width for emergency access, these systems are designed with regulatory requirements in mind, helping warehouses maintain compliance and avoid potential fines or shutdowns.
Selective Racking Systems
Immediate Access For Dynamic Inventory
Selective pallet racking systems are the most commonly used pallet storage solutions and are highly versatile for a wide range of warehouse needs. These systems allow for immediate access to every pallet, making them ideal in situations where customers have a myriad of SKUs. The design is such that it accommodates varying pallet types and sizes (width, depth, and height), and can be easily adjusted or relocated. With selective racking, you can optimize your warehouse space while ensuring efficient inventory turnover. Whether you’re dealing with consumer goods or industrial equipment, selective pallet racking offers the flexibility to meet your specific needs.
Comparing Racking Systems
Roll-Form Versus Structural: What's the difference?
Roll-Form Rack
Advantages:
- Quick and simple assembly without the need for hardware.
- Versatile & easily reconfigurable for various storage needs.
- Cost-effective solution for typical capacities.
Disadvantages:
- Capacity limitations due to material.
- More susceptible to fork lift damage.
Structural Channel Rack
Advantages:
- Robust design suitable for heavy-duty storage.
- Enhanced stability & load-bearing capacity.
- Durable construction for long-term industrial use.
Disadvantages:
- Typically requires more investment upfront.
- Assembly & reconfiguration can be more labor-intensive.
Dense Racking Systems
Maximized Storage Capacity For Low SKU Count Inventory
Dense pallet systems, such as drive-in/drive-through, pushback, and pallet flow racks, sacrifice selectivity but yield high storage density. These systems maximize floor space by reducing the number of aisles needed between racks. While they may not offer immediate access to every pallet like selective systems, they are excellent for storing large quantities of similar items. Dense racking is particularly useful for items with a longer shelf life or those that move in large, bulk quantities. If you’re looking to increase storage capacity without expanding your footprint, dense storage racks could be the solution for you.

Specialty Racking Systems
Additional standard and custom racking solutions
Cantilever Racking
Cantilever rack stands out in the storage solution sector with its distinctive design that features vertical supports at the back and protruding ‘arms’ for holding materials. This configuration is particularly beneficial for handling long or irregularly shaped items, such as timber, piping, or sheets. With a variety of styles and load capacities, cantilever rack offers a versatile and accessible choice for many storage scenarios, ensuring materials are both secure and easily retrievable.
Die Storage Rack
Die rack is engineered to provide robust and precise storage for heavy dies and molds. With reinforced cross-members and a sturdy frame, die rack is designed to withstand the substantial weight and frequent access associated with die and mold storage. The typical configuration allows for easy loading and unloading, facilitating efficient operations and better inventory management. Available in various dimensions and load-bearing capacities, die rack can be customized to fit the unique requirements of any workspace.
