How Warehouse Shelving Works
Warehouse shelving and storage rack systems support manually handled cartons, bins, parts and order-picking inventory.
Warehouse shelving is normally selected for hand-loaded inventory rather than forklift-handled pallets. Longspan shelving, boltless shelving, steel shelving, wire shelving, parts-bin shelving and multi-tier shelving each solve a different mix of carton size, reach height, shelf load and picking frequency.
A useful storage rack brief should separate carton storage, small-parts picking, stockroom storage, maintenance stores and back-of-house replenishment. Item dimensions, shelf load, number of levels and picking access are more important than a generic rack name when the goal is a practical warehouse shelving quotation.
