Whether your company produces food or distributes it, either in ingredient or ready-made form, you will need an adequate storage solution. Pallet racking systems are popular options for the storage of this type of product; which type of system is best for your distribution centre though depends on your product.

Drive-in pallet racking systems are suitable for goods which have a long shelf life, or are seasonal in nature. This form of racking minimises the amount of space needed to store the items and provides an excellent storage solution for food products which are stored for long periods of time.

Alternatively, if you need to access the pallets and items regularly, narrow aisle or conventional adjustable aisle pallet racking will be more suitable. Narrow aisle pallet racking systems are fantastic for space saving, but require specialist equipment to pick and sort the pallets.

The most widely used racking system is adjustable aisle pallet racking as it allows full access to all of the pallets and does not require specialist machinery to navigate the shelves; standard fork lift and reach trucks can be used.
