IMVO Pallet Racking 3m High x 900mm Depth 2.7m Wide Beam 2 Levels NEW

Pallet racking is a system of warehouse storage that uses racks to organize and store goods on pallets, allowing for efficient use of space and easy access. It's a material handling storage system designed to store goods on pallets, creating a unit load for storage and transport. This system enables the stacking of pallets vertically and horizontally, maximising storage capacity and facilitating inventory
management. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Pallets: These are horizontal platforms, often made of wood or
  plastic, that support goods for storage and transport. 
• Racks: These are metal structures, usually with multiple levels,
  that hold the pallets. 
• Forklifts: Forklifts are typically used to move pallets on and off the
  racking system, allowing for efficient loading and unloading. 
• Vertical Storage: Pallet racking allows for vertical storage, maximizing
  storage capacity by utilizing the height of the warehouse. 
• Access: Many pallet racking systems allow for direct access to each
  pallet, making inventory management easier. 
• Types: There are various types of pallet racking, each with its own
  advantages and disadvantages, such as selective, drive-in, and mobile
  racking. 
• Benefits: Pallet racking helps businesses: 
  - Maximize storage space. 
  - Organize inventory. 
  - Improve warehouse efficiency. 
  - Facilitate the movement of goods. 

Longspan racking is a heavy-duty shelving system designed for storing long,
bulky items in warehouses, industrial environments, and storerooms. It
combines the strength of pallet racking with the flexibility of shelving,
offering a versatile storage solution for medium to heavy-duty
applications. Longspan racking is known for its durability, ease of
assembly, and ability to be adapted to various storage needs. Longspan
racking is used to handball items on rather than pallet racking which normally
would use a forklift.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Heavy-Duty Storage: Longspan racking is designed to handle heavier and bulkier
  items that might not be suitable for standard shelving units. 
• Versatile Application: It's commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers,
  factories, and stockrooms, and is suitable for hand-loaded applications. 
• Flexibility: Longspan racking can be easily adapted to different sizes
  and load capacities, making it suitable for a wide range of items. 
• Modular Design: It typically consists of frames, beams, and decking (often
  chipboard), allowing for customization and expansion. 
• Easy Assembly: Longspan racking is designed to be relatively simple to
  assemble, often using a boltless system. 
• Load Capacity: Depending on the specific system and components, longspan
  racking can handle loads ranging from a few hundred kilograms to over a
  thousand kilograms per shelf level. 
• Components: Longspan racking systems can include starter bays
  (standalone units) and add-on bays (for extending existing runs). 

Do you need industrial racking for your new business, to extend your storage areas or to renew your facilities? It is essential to start by assessing your needs.

The choices you make when it comes to equipping your industrial warehouse have an impact on the ‘Well-working’ of your employees and on the productivity of the company. Industrial storage solutions must also comply with European regulations. 

Appropriate layout for well-being at the workplace.

Appropriate racking and shelving contribute to a better working environment for professionals. In addition to optimising storage and workspaces, they facilitate stock management and handling in warehouses. Racking is therefore a source of ‘Well-working’ in the warehouse. ‘Well-working’ is a concept that brings together the notions of personal development and the smooth operation of the company. 

Racking systems are typically used for heavier items and bulk storage, utilizing vertical space, while shelving is used for lighter, more accessible items.

Top beam size is referred to as the distance of top of the beam. This can be measured by calculating the distance from front to back which is usually 40mm or 50mm.

Firstly, let’s assume that you’re storing good quality pallets that conform with the European specifications. Unlike shelving, pallet racking has no shelf deck, so pallets are simply supported on a pair of horizontal beams. These beams are only 40mm, or 50mm, across the top surface so the pallet itself is doing a lot of work. It must be strong enough to take the load it’s carrying. Some pallets, transit pallets for example, are just not suitable for racking on a pair of beams. There may well be easy solutions, like pallet support bars, timber decking or mesh decking, but you’ll need specialist advice for these options. For conventional good quality pallets, you need to know: the width, the depth, the height, and the weight.

Racking protection barriers and protector guards are normally used with pallet racking. These protectors offer protection from accidental damage to the pallet racking which could be fatal if the racking collapses. The protection barriers are normally used at the end of the racking and also at the face of the racking upright. These are made of steel and are usually 3mm thick and can withstand heavy force inevitably saving any damage to the racking which would otherwise need to be replaced thus saving money and also lives.

All of our Longspan products will arrive to you in component form to reduce delivery costs, therefore self-assembly will be required.

All of our Pallet racking will have the frames assembled unless requested otherwise.

Our Pallet racking will be delivered on a pallet/s and will need a forklift truck on the customers end.

Our longspan products should arrive to you with assembly instructions within the parcel. If you cannot locate your instructions give us a call and we will be more than happy to send them to you again or alternatively you find them here.

Yes, collections can be made 24-48 hours after the order is placed but this is subject to the size of the order. Please call our customer services team for advice.

Generally 1-3 days on most orders.

No, you need to have the same manufacturer and type of frames and beams for safe fitting. Contact us sales@ukpalletracking.co.uk if you are not sure or need a specific system which we do normally stock.

For any application that needs to store pallets or has mechanical handing then we would advise you use pallet racking. Any hand loaded shelving with a max shelf load of 400kgs we would recommend longspan.

Our racking and shelving are manufactured in the European Union and have 5 years warranty. Please note this does not cover damage caused by the customer.

You need to have a minimum of 2 levels for stability. After that you can have as many as you require (or will fit) as long as the weight load does not exceed the frame loads.

Yes, this can be arranged. We would welcome you to our
offices and warehouse to make sure you have the correct system and size.

If you handle foodstuffs or chemicals, be careful to comply with the regulations, especially in the European market:

• The food standard and/or HACCP1 system for food products; 
• ESD/Anti-static certification (EN 61340-5) for electronic products; 
• EUR-EPAL Pallet certification for products that are compatible with European standard pallets. 

Think Lean Management. The right industrial equipment for your business saves time and space. Don’t overlook the colour and complementary accessories (labels, lids, dividers, etc.). Every detail counts.

If you have standard UK pallets 1200mm x 1000mm stored 1000mm deep you would require a 2700mm wide beam x 900mm deep frame.

If it is stored 1200mm deep then you would require either a 2300mm or 3300mm wide beam x 1100mm deep frame.

If you have euro pallets 1200mm x 800mm you would store them on a 2700mm wide beam x 1100mm deep frame.

Forklift trucks are a very important item for the warehouse and it is important that you have the correct one. For this reason we do not specify or sell forklift trucks but work closely with a couple of suppliers and would gladly recommend them and their services.
