A warehouse can fill up surprisingly quickly. More stock comes in, product ranges grow and before long, pallets are being moved around simply to get to something else.
Good racking won't give you a bigger building, but it can make a big difference to how much of that building you're actually able to use.
Millennium Storage & Interiors provides pallet racking in Manchester for warehouses and commercial premises, with systems planned around the available space and the way stock needs to be stored and accessed.
Getting More From Your Warehouse
There isn't one racking layout that will work everywhere. A warehouse holding a large number of different products has very different requirements from one storing fewer items in greater quantities.
The building itself matters too.
We'll look at the height and shape of your warehouse, access points, existing equipment and how pallets are moved around the site. It's also important to understand which stock needs to be readily accessible and which can be stored for longer periods.
From there, we can look at how the available space could be better organised.
Planning Your Pallet Racking
Before deciding on a layout, there are several things we'll need to consider:
- The size and weight of the pallets being stored
- Available floor space and warehouse height
- Forklift and handling equipment
- Aisle widths and access routes
- How frequently different stock is moved
- Existing doors, columns and working areas
Sometimes the answer is to make better use of the height that's already available. In other warehouses, changing the position or configuration of the racking can make everyday movement much easier.
It's about finding what works for the site rather than trying to fit a standard arrangement into the building.
New Racking and Warehouse Changes
You may be fitting out an empty warehouse, adding capacity to an existing operation or changing the way your current space is used.
Whatever the reason, we'll start by looking at what's already there and what you need the warehouse to do.
If the site is already operational, we'll also discuss how the work can be organised around deliveries, staff and existing stock.
