What are the Main Types of Bespoke Industrial Racking?

At Filstorage, we know that every business has unique storage needs. That’s why we design bespoke industrial racking systems that work for your space and your stock. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve helped businesses across the UK and Ireland create smarter, safer, and more efficient storage layouts. If you’re looking into different industrial racking types, here’s a breakdown of the main bespoke racking systems we supply and why you might need them.

Pallet Racking

Pallet racking is one of the most common industrial racking solutions we offer. It’s designed for storing palletised goods, making it ideal for warehouses where forklifts are used daily. Pallet racking can be galvanised or painted to suit different budgets. We design layouts that help you maximise vertical space and improve stock management.

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racking is perfect for long or bulky items such as timber, lintels, or sheet materials. Instead of shelves, it uses adjustable arms that make it easy to store and access awkward loads. Available in single or double-sided versions, cantilever racking is a versatile option. We can also add weather protection canopies, tyre guards, and different arm strengths depending on your requirements.

Pigeon Hole Racking

Some products are too long to store on standard shelves but still need a neat and organised system. Pigeon hole racking solves this problem. It allows you to store timber lengths, pipes, and lintels without them sagging. Each rack can be manufactured to any size and finished in either painted or galvanised steel. This bespoke racking system helps businesses keep awkward stock tidy whilst improving safety.

Vertical Racking

If you need to store items like timber lengths, plastic pipes, or steel bars, vertical racking is the most practical choice. It allows you to store materials upright, saving valuable floor space and making products easier to handle. Many builders’ merchants and DIY suppliers choose this option because it keeps products visible and accessible.

Longspan Racking

Longspan racking is designed for products that are handled manually rather than with forklifts. It’s a strong, flexible solution that can be adapted to fit everything from small boxes to large parts. We often install longspan racking in workshops, retail stockrooms, and smaller warehouses. With chipboard, mesh, or steel panel decking available, this system can be tailored to your stock.

Stillages

Stillages are portable cages or pallets that can be stacked or moved by forklift. They are especially useful for heavy products such as bricks, insulation, or timber. We can supply stillages in different sizes and designs to suit your industry. They can also be combined with other bespoke racking systems for maximum efficiency.
