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

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.
