Selective Pallet Racking
Selective pallet racking is the most common and widely used method of storing pallets in a warehouse. Designed to provide ready access to every pallet in your storage, this system handles unitised pallet cargo and works seamlessly with forklifts that can pick up cargo from any position. It can be configured to store products at considerable heights, is economical and durable, easy to install, and levels are easily adjustable for both temporary and permanent settings — available in light, medium, and heavy duty configurations. Selective pallet racking is ideal for organisations with multiple SKUs and is perfectly suited where flexibility, access, and speed of operation are the main objectives.

VNA Racking (Very Narrow Aisle)
Very Narrow Aisle Racking is purpose-built to maximise pallet storage capacity while maintaining individual access to every pallet position. By reducing aisle widths to between 1.7 and 2.2 metres — only marginally wider than the handling equipment itself — VNA racking dramatically increases the number of pallet positions within your existing warehouse footprint. The system is served by specialised handling equipment such as combination order pickers, turret trucks, stacker cranes, and dedicated VNA trucks, all designed to operate precisely within these confined aisles. With rack heights reaching up to 17 metres, VNA racking turns vertical space into a serious storage asset.

Pallet Shuttle Racking
Shuttle Racking is a high-density storage solution ideal for operations with large volumes of pallets per SKU. Lanes of up to 50 pallets deep can be stored in either First In, First Out (FIFO) or First In, Last Out (FILO) configurations. Remote-controlled robot shuttles carry pallets in and out of deep storage tunnels on tracks beneath the beams, freeing your operators to focus on other tasks. A standard forklift places the shuttle into the rack at the desired height and position, loads the pallet onto the shuttle, and the system takes care of the rest — no specialist equipment or operator training required.

Catwalk / Pick Face Racking
Catwalk and Pick Face Racking systems are multi-level storage structures built from custom-fabricated pallet racking components, using less material than traditional industrial shelving while delivering maximum span and load capacity. Designed to exploit the full vertical height of your warehouse, catwalks create additional picking levels connected by access stairways — all manufactured in-house to SANS (South African National Standard). Pick face decking surfaces are available in steel or timber floor planks, and all storage and retrieval is performed by employees on foot, eliminating the need for forklifts entirely.
