What is Warehouse Racking?

Warehouse racking systems are organized structures, mostly made of sturdy metals, to accommodate the various parts and products manufactured, raw materials required, and the other necessary inventory. These industrial racks are not mere shelves to stock all these materials but are specially designed in various sizes, heights, weight bearing capacities, and thicknesses based on the type of materials to be stored.

What Are the Components of a Racking System?

A typical warehouse racking system looks like a shelf with rows and columns. A basic system comprises the following:

  • Baseplates which are connected to the vertical pillar like structures or beams
  • Wire deck which is a horizontal base or surface to keep the materials
  • Row spacers in case of adjacent or back-to-back racks
  • Beams and connectors which are pillar like structures along with their connectors to form a frame
  • Shims for plumb tolerance on floors
  • Anchor bolts with which the rack remains anchored onto the floor
  • End of aisle guards which are bolt-like structures for bolting or anchoring the rack


Factors to Consider When Designing Warehouse Racks for Your Company

Check the area available and make sure you leave enough space for free movement of humans and materials through the aisles.

  • A lot would depend on the load bearing capacity you require. The specifications for heavy duty racks need to be understood. Also, proper material handling equipment needs to be used to load or unload any heavy material to avoid any sort of damage.
  • There are specific types of Industrial racks for various product categories. For instance, if you make foils, coils, fabric, or any other thin material which can be rolled, you can opt for rolling steel racks. There are specially fabricated racks for metal coils which protect them from damages, rusting, and so on.
  • There are different requirements for drive-in racks meant for transporting the material from the warehouse to the container or even used on shipping docks.
  • So, you need to know your requirements in terms of weight, mobility, types of materials, quantity and volume of materials which need to be stored, and so on. Only then the manufacturer can decide on the material of racks, thickness, height, and so on.
  • For lightweight materials, you can easily use portable racks which can be pushed back or dismantled when not in use.Also, ensure you get the right accessories as well as training to use these racks optimally.


How Using the Warehouse Racks Can be Beneficial for Your Company?

Properly designed warehouse racks can be immensely beneficial in many ways. Here are some of them:

  • They help you properly organize your inventory which saves time when you actually need it.
  • If you stock your inventory anyhow, it may result in damages or injuries to workers because of falls or breakages. So, a proper rack system is essential to prevent these damages.
  • It improves the safety levels of the workers and makes it convenient for them to load and unload materials.
  • A planned system helps save on space and offers free movement in between aisles.
  • With this system, it is easy to track your inventory and keep it organized. This will help you keep track of parts needed to be ordered, WIP parts, and the ones which need to be shipped out, so as to organize accordingly.
