The success of a business can be measured by how well it meets the needs of its customers. In order for this to happen, companies need adequate storage spaces to ensure an optimal operation and, therefore, a great customer service. Building extensions to add more space to a warehouse, however, is not very cost-effective. It’s also time-consuming, as daily operations would either be hindered or would have to cease for construction to happen.

A great solution for this is the use of pallet racking systems because they offer extra space without the need to actually build it.

Which Businesses Require Pallet Racking?

Pallet racking refers to the stacking up of pallets in sturdy shelves that extend from the floor to the ceiling, and which can be retrieved or deposited at will with forklifts. Warehouses and factories, for instance, are always in need of space to continually meet the demands of their customers, so pallet racking can not only save this much-needed floor space but also take up less room as well. Any company or business that needs to work with and move pallets can benefit from pallet racking.

An Improvement of Productivity and Profit

By opting for this type of storage, employees can easily find what they’re looking for without having to search for it for a very long time. When the goods are organised, and locating and retrieving them are faster processes, work productivity increases. And when work is increasingly efficient, the results can be seen in a boost in profit, since more products can be moved and transported.

Accessibility

The racks should always be organised in such a way to allow forklifts to manoeuvre with ease at all times. This will help them get to the products faster and, therefore, with minimum risk associated – for example, if the floor space is cluttered or if the racks aren’t properly aligned or organised, there’s a much higher danger of accidents.

Better Work Safety

Pallet racks can be bolted to the ground to add stability, which makes them perfect for storing heavy weights without having them topple over. So when pallets are organised in a safe way, the possibility of an accident is greatly reduced, meaning this system guarantees maximum safety for all of your employees.

Pallet racking is, as a result, a great system to keep your warehouse or factory always organised and safe. For more information on shelving systems or on pallet racking in London, and how you can get the best one for your business, feel free to give us a call on 020 8998 9247.
