Shelving

   Boltless, bulk, or rivet shelving is another variety of a pallet rack and an alternative to pallet racking. It is a low-cost storage solution. It is a flexible, boltless system which is easy and fast to install. We have an option of single or double rivet beams (the difference is in the load capacity), wood board or wire deck shelving.

     Cantilever racks provide highly visible and accessible storage. They do not have shelves. They consist of columns and arms. Cantilever racks are mostly used for long, non-palletized or heavy items, like lumber, steel bars, pipes, tubing.

     Cantilever Racks can be roll formed (standard) and structural. Roll Formed Racks can be less expensive to buy and install but are limited in the amount of weight that they can support. Structural racks are made from one piece of steel which provides much higher load capacity.

Cantilever rack

(the most efficient storage solution)

      Push back racks are the best space savers. With this system you will have less aisles, but more storage capacity. Each new pallet is stacked in front of the previous one, while that one is pushed back in the rack. Depending on the size of your rack, it can store up to 6 pallets. When the first pallet is removed, the next one slides forward.
