Racks & Shelving

Racks & shelving are storage systems designed to organize, display, or store materials, products, or tools in a safe and efficient manner.
They’re essential in warehouses, workshops, retail stores, offices, and even homes — anywhere systematic storage is needed.

   • Heavy-duty racks for storing pallets in warehouses.
   • Adjustable beam levels for varying pallet heights.
2. Cantilever Racks
   • For long or bulky items (pipes, timber, metal bars).
   • Features arms extending from a central column.
3. Long-Span Shelving
   • Medium-duty shelves for boxes, cartons, or loose items.
   • Ideal for stockrooms and workshops.
4. Boltless/Slotted Angle Shelving
   • Versatile and easy to assemble.
   • Great for light-to-medium loads in offices, stores, or garages.
5. Mobile Shelving (Compactus)
   • Shelving mounted on tracks that move to create/open aisles.
   • Maximizes storage density.
6. Mezzanine Racking
