Storage & Organization

Overview

A warehouse is only as efficient as its storage design. The right racking and pallet choices improve floor-space utilization, speed up loading and unloading, and reduce storage incidents caused by poor stability.

Product Types

The category covers pallet racking with high per-level capacities (1-5 tonnes), drive-in and drive-through racking for high-density storage, multi-tier shelving for hand-loaded goods, cantilever racks for long goods (pipes, sheets, timber), standard wooden pallets (1200×800 mm Euro or 1200×1000 mm, both within ISO 6780 sizes), closed-deck plastic pallets, heavy-duty steel pallets, plastic storage bins, stackable totes, and industrial cabinets (tool, document, locker, workbench, and PPE cabinets).

Selection Factors

Racking is selected by maximum per-level load, pallet type in use, rack height, loading method (front, side), and the material-handling equipment available (forklift, pallet truck). Pallets are selected by load, product type, environment (indoor or outdoor), and export requirements (ISPM-15 for timber).

Difference from Maintenance & Cleaning

Storage & Organization organizes inventory storage; Maintenance & Cleaning keeps the facility clean and functional.

Standards Note

Racking follows EN 15635 for inspection and maintenance, EN 15512 for steel pallet racking design, EN 15878 for terminology, and FEM 10.2.02 as a guidance reference. Pallets follow ISO 6780 for dimensions and ISPM-15 for export treatment. Specifications vary by product.
