Narrow Racking for Maximising Warehouse Capacity
Increasing Space Utilisation
Narrow pallet racking is the ideal space-saving solution when warehouse floor space is limited. This form of narrow racking delivers maximum storage capacity, fast access to every pallet, and efficient order picking directly from the system. With aisle widths reduced to around 1.6 metres and each pallet individually supported and easily reachable, narrow pallet racking dramatically increases warehouse space utilisation. Although this setup requires a specialist narrow aisle forklift, the gain in capacity and efficiency makes it a highly effective pallet racking option for UK operations.
The narrow pallet racking system allows you to benefit from:
- All Pallets Accessible
With every pallet accessible at all times, loading complications are minimised. This improves picking speed and overall productivity. - Up to 45% More Space Utilisation
Narrow pallet racking can free up to 45% of floor space compared with traditional wide-aisle layouts. By maximising storage density, you can hold significantly more pallets within the same warehouse footprint. - Narrow Aisle Forklift Trucks
Specialist narrow aisle trucks lift higher and work faster than general-purpose trucks. When combined with a narrow racking layout, this not only increases useable height but also speeds up order picking, boosting productivity. - Added Value
While specialist forklifts may require additional investment, the significant gains in capacity and efficiency outweigh the cost, delivering long-term value.
Paired with an Aisle-Master very narrow aisle forklift, your narrow pallet racking system can unlock even greater storage potential, helping you maximise the value of your warehouse space.
Push Back Racking
Last-in, first-out high-density storage racks
Push back racking merges the advantages of drive-in racking with pallet live storage helping you make the best use of limited capacity. Through creating a maximum of a four pallet deep rack, you can optimise the wall space of your warehouse. This highly cost-effective system is an alternative to drive-in rack designs and has the additional benefit that all locations can be loaded or emptied without moving adjacent pallets.
How push back works:
Pallets are placed by the forklift on rolling carts which manoeuvre on slightly inclined rails. Each time a pallet is added to the rack it pushes the pallet entered before it further back. When removing the last pallet entered will be the first out. Afterwards, the innovative system uses gravity to move the remaining pallets forward using the roller carts.
Ideally suited to order picking operations, key benefits include:
- Moves Easily
The push back frames are designed with live storages techniques, making the pallets when stored mobile, thus meaning that current storage can be pushed further towards the wall when needed. Removing a pallet is even easier, just pick the nearest pallet from the wall and let gravity do the rest. - 85% Space Utilisation
The innovative push back frames allow up to four rows of pallets to be stored next to a wall due to the rear rack beam being slightly higher than front subframe. This allows you to minimise aisles and creates a further 85% space utilisation. - Standard Fork Lift Trucks
The push back racking system requires no specialist forklift, instead relies on the mobility created by the live racking system. Due to pallets manoeuvring through a series of separate subframes there is no need for a deep reach truck. - Pallet Selectivity Reduced
- High Throughput Speeds
Double-deep Racking
Increase your storage density by storing two pallet loads within each aisle lane.
Double deep pallet racking is a variation of standard adjustable beam pallet racking, allowing pallets to be stored two deep while remaining accessible from the same aisle. This configuration can be used as a double-deep layout against a wall or set four pallets deep between aisles. By positioning one row of standard pallet racking directly behind another, double deep systems significantly increase storage capacity compared with wide-aisle setups.
Although access speed to individual pallet positions is reduced, an efficient stock rotation system easily offsets this, allowing businesses to benefit from the increased storage density. This form of UK pallet racking is especially effective when storing multiple pallets of the same product.
Benefits of Double Deep Pallet Racking
- 60% Space Utilisation
Double deep pallet racking can free up to 60% of the floor space used for aisles in a traditional wide-aisle scheme. By maximising vertical and horizontal space, you can store significantly more pallets within the same warehouse footprint. - Ideal for High Turnover Goods
Perfect for fast-moving goods where limited direct access to all pallets is not an issue. - Lower Capital Investment
A cost-effective solution when compared with more complex systems such as scissor or pantograph mast equipment.
Drive-in Racking
Drive-in pallet rack requires fewer aisles, allowing you to store up to 85% more pallets
If making the most of storage capacity is a major requirement of your warehouse, drive-in pallet racking allows you to optimise the space of your warehouse. Through eliminating aisles and lanes, drive-in racking utilises space at the price of selectivity. This is ideal for batch despatches as the first pallet into the lane will be the last pallet out. Each pallet is supported to ensure damage from crushing is eliminated.
Last in, first-out arrangement
Drive-In racks allow a lift truck to enter from one side to load or unload. This is possible because the pallets are loaded onto a manoeuvrable rail, which allows the last pallet loaded to be slid backwards with the induction of a new pallet. However when a new pallet is loaded you lose accessibility to the previous pallet, creating the last-in, first-out arrangement.
Key Features:
- 85% Space Utilisation
Narrow Aisle racking can free up to 85% of the floor space given to aisles in a wide aisle scheme. Through maximising space utilisation you can store more pallets in the limited space of your warehouse. - Ideal for cold store conditions
For perishable goods that must be kept frozen or refrigerated, the space utilisation of drive-in racking significantly reduces overheads. - Option to increase the speed of operation
The speed of operation can be increased further, through using floor-mounted guide rails which assist the position of the trucks. This also helps reduce accidental damage to the goods and rack. - Ideal for bulk goods of the same type
Cantilever Racking
Ideal for long or awkward loads
Built from two columns of vertical beams with two or more horizontal arms, cantilever racking is the perfect solution for storing long or bulky items such as steel sections, timber and pipes. Unlike traditional pallet racking, cantilever systems offer completely unobstructed access, making them suitable for slow, medium or fast-rotation products. Strong, cost-effective and safe, they are designed to handle even the heaviest loads with ease, making them a valuable addition to many UK pallet racking setups.
Key Benefits
- Safe and Organised Storage
Cantilever racking maximises floor and vertical space, providing safe, neat and efficient storage. Each rack is engineered to match your specific requirements — from product type to size and weight — ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of applications. - Robust and Durable
Designed to withstand demanding environments, impacts and heavy usage, cantilever systems are created using state-of-the-art computer modelling. This ensures maximum safety, strength and longevity compared to traditional racking methods. - High Selectivity
With all products fully visible and immediately accessible, cantilever racking enables faster picking and reduces the risk of errors. This improved selectivity offers significant operational benefits over bulk stacking or non-sequential storage methods. - Reduced Wasted Space
By utilising the full vertical height of your building, cantilever racking reduces wasted space and increases overall storage capacity. This ensures you are getting the most out of your warehouse footprint — an essential benefit for facilities already using narrow racking or high-density layouts.
