What is Integrated Racking?
Four Post, or Integrated Racking is used in conjunction with standard shop shelving. The main feature of this type racking is that the area above the shop shelving is not lost, and can be used as storage for stock, or to display heavy or bulky items.
How is this best utilised?
Integrated Racking is best used for storing and displaying both heavier and bulky items such as:
- Paint
- Power Tools
- Boxed items
- Excess Stock
- Garden Supplies
- General Accessories
- Electrical Items
- Spares
Benefits of an Integrated System
The benefits to using this system over traditional shelving alone include:
- The over bay storage means that the need for "back room" space for storage is greatly reduced by utilising vertical space - this allows you to maximise storage capacity without expanding floor space.
- It aids stock replenishment as the backup stock is stored directly above
- It maximises customer impact with enhanced product visibility - when well stocked, and gives the appearance of holding vast quantities of stock
- It enables the display of large items such as white goods, wheelbarrows etc
- Reduced "back room" usage: The over-bay storage feature allows for readily accessible backup stock directly above the shelving, negating the need for dedicated back rooms for storing additional inventory.
- Potential cost savings: By maximizing space utilization and reducing reliance on additional storage areas, integrated racking can lead to long-term cost savings in rent, utilities, and labor.
- Flexibility: These systems can be customized to accommodate various storage needs, from lightweight items on shelves to heavy pallets on the upper levels.
