Vertical Storage Racks

What can vertical racking be used for?

An invaluable addition to any warehouse or storage facility, vertical racking can hold a wide range of items. It is specially engineered for storing lengthy, cumbersome and irregularly shaped items and for use in areas with limited floor space for storing such goods.

Perfect for long goods that won’t fit on standard shelving or make poor use of available space, vertical racking is helpful for securing timber boards and wooden planks, tubing and pipes, sheet materials like chipboard and panels, metal extrusions, angles and profiles and plastic trunks, among other items with an irregular shape or considerable length.

What are the benefits of using vertical space for storage?

There are a multitude of advantages to employing vertical space for storing goods. Optimising the vertical space in an area maximises the floor space available, which can free up room for further storage or make it easier for staff to work safely and quickly.

Storing goods vertically also improves accessibility on site. Vertical storage racking ensures items are easy to find and pick and, in many cases, reduce the need for using additional equipment like ladders. It also makes them easier to see and pick, often without the need for ladders.

Vertical racking can keep bulky goods stable and upright. This effectively reduces the risk of items falling and causing accidents, or becoming damaged and a loss of profit. Innovative and flexible solutions, they can improve the organisation of a warehouse. Many models feature easily adjustable dividers that help separate items neatly while preventing them from getting scratched or dented.

Understandably, many different businesses opt for vertical racking. Warehouses use them to efficiently store long and irregular stock and to make the most of available space, while workshops employ them to keep materials readily accessible and organised. In retail outlets like garden centres and hardware stores, they may be used to display longer products so customers can easily see and interact with them.
