Warehouse Pallet Racking Systems
Optimising warehouse operations begins with one critical decision: choosing the right pallet racking system. Whether you're scaling your storage capacity or improving inventory access, having a well-planned racking solution is key to using your warehouse space efficiently. At uTenant, we connect businesses with tailored warehouse pallet racking systems that meet Australian standards and streamline operations from the ground up.
Why Your Business Needs the Right Pallet Racking System
A well-designed pallet racking system isn't just about storage—it's a fundamental part of how your warehouse functions day-to-day. From improving accessibility to enhancing safety and maximising available square metres, your racking system should support both your inventory profile and operational flow.
Benefits of a Quality Warehouse Racking System
- Optimises warehouse space for better inventory turnover
- Supports safer, more efficient warehouse operations
- Offers scalability to grow with your business
- Ensures compliance with Australian Standard AS4084
- Reduces downtime and improves picking speed
Whether you're handling small fast-moving goods or bulky, palletised stock, uTenant can help you match the right system to your exact storage needs.
Types of Pallet Racking Systems
Every business has different requirements, which is why we stock an extensive range of pallet racking solutions. Here's an overview of the most common systems available in Australia today.
Selective Pallet Racking
Selective pallet racking is one of the most popular systems in Australia—and for good reason. It provides easy access to every pallet, making it ideal for high-turnover inventory or operations requiring fast order picking.
Features:
- Individual access to each pallet
- Simplifies stock rotation
- Compatible with a variety of forklifts
- Suitable for LIFO inventory management
If you need flexibility and visibility across SKUs, selective racking is a reliable and cost-effective choice.
Drive-In and Drive-Through Racking
These warehouse racking systems are designed for high-density storage, particularly for products with longer shelf lives or fewer SKUs.
Drive-in racking supports LIFO (last-in, first-out), while drive-through racking allows FIFO (first-in, first-out), offering pallet access from both sides.
Benefits include:
- Maximised storage with minimal aisle space
- Best suited for homogeneous goods
- Excellent option for bulk storage
Drive-in racking can significantly increase your cubic storage capacity without expanding your footprint.
Pallet Flow Racking (Flow-Through)
This is a gravity-driven system perfect for FIFO inventory. Pallets are loaded from the back and flow forward for picking, reducing handling time and improving rotation.
Ideal for:
- Perishable inventory
- Fast-moving goods
- Warehouses needing storage solutions with high pick efficiency
Push-Back Racking
This system uses inclined rails and carts to store pallets several deep, allowing pallets to roll forward when one is removed.
Advantages:
- Supports LIFO inventory
- Reduces aisle requirements
- Ideal for medium-turnover products
Push-back racking is an excellent choice for maximising both floor and vertical space in warehouses.
Cantilever Racking and Other Configurations
We also supply solutions for non-standard loads, such as industrial shelving for odd-shaped goods or cantilever racking for long items like timber or piping.
Our team of industry professionals can help identify the right system from our range of pallet racking options.
How to Choose the Right Warehouse Pallet Storage Racks
Selecting a racking system involves more than just knowing how many pallets you handle. Consider:
- The different types of pallet sizes and weights
- Your picking and replenishment frequency
- Available warehouse space
- Compliance with the Australian Standard AS4084
- Budget for installation and future expansion
