Why the Right Pallet Racking System Matters

The right pallet racking system does far more than store products.

When properly designed, it can:

  • Increase warehouse storage capacity
  • Improve inventory visibility and control
  • Reduce forklift travel and handling time
  • Support safer warehouse operations
  • Enable faster picking and dispatch
  • Prepare your facility for future growth

At Oakway, every racking system begins with a detailed understanding of how your warehouse operates.

We assess product types, stock volumes, handling equipment and operational flow to create a storage system that supports both efficiency and long-term scalability.

Types of Pallet Racking Systems

Different warehouses require different storage strategies.

Oakway designs and installs a range of pallet racking systems to suit varying operational requirements, stock profiles and warehouse layouts.

Adjustable Pallet Racking

Flexible pallet storage for mixed inventory.

Adjustable pallet racking is the most widely used warehouse storage system, providing direct access to every pallet location. It allows beam heights to be adjusted to accommodate different pallet sizes, making it ideal for warehouses storing a wide range of products.

This system works particularly well in operations where accessibility, flexibility and stock visibility are priorities.

Wide Aisle Pallet Racking

Simple, reliable pallet storage with full accessibility.

Wide aisle pallet racking provides clear access to every pallet location while allowing standard forklift trucks to operate comfortably between racking rows.

This system prioritises operational simplicity, visibility and flexibility, making it a popular choice for many distribution and manufacturing environments.

Drive In Racking

High-density pallet storage for bulk products.

Drive in racking significantly increases storage capacity by reducing aisle space and storing pallets in deep lanes.

Forklift trucks enter the racking structure to place and retrieve pallets, allowing large volumes of identical products to be stored efficiently.

This solution is particularly effective in warehouses prioritising storage density over selectivity.

Pallet Live Racking Systems

Gravity-fed storage designed for FIFO stock rotation.

Pallet live racking systems use inclined roller lanes that move pallets automatically from the loading side to the picking face.

This creates a controlled flow of goods while maintaining first-in, first-out (FIFO) stock rotation – ideal for operations handling perishable, date-coded or fast-moving products.

Pallet Shuttle Systems

Semi-automated high-density pallet storage.

Pallet shuttle systems use motorised shuttle vehicles to move pallets within deep storage lanes. This reduces forklift travel, increases storage density and improves operational efficiency in high-volume warehouses.

The system is particularly effective for warehouses storing large quantities of the same SKU.

Cantilever Racking

Specialist storage for long or bulky materials.

Cantilever racking is designed for products that cannot be stored on standard pallets, such as timber, steel pipes, sheet materials and other oversized items.

Its open-front design allows long products to be loaded and retrieved easily using forklifts or manual handling.

Designing Pallet Racking Around Your Warehouse

No two warehouses operate in exactly the same way.

That’s why Oakway designs pallet racking systems around the real conditions inside your facility.

Before recommending any solution, we assess key operational factors such as:

  • Warehouse layout and available space
  • Product types, pallet sizes and load weights
  • Stock volumes and SKU profiles
  • Forklift equipment and handling methods
  • Picking processes and operational flow
  • Future growth plans

By combining these insights with proven warehouse design principles, we create pallet racking systems that maximise capacity while supporting safe, efficient operations.
