Engineered Storage Solutions Built Around Your Operation
Every warehouse, distribution center, and production facility has its own challenges, from space constraints and product mix to throughput demands and safety requirements. UNIRAK delivers engineered storage solutions designed to support real-world operations, not one-size-fits-all layouts.
Our team works closely with customers across the U.S. to design and supply custom pallet racking and material storage systems that improve efficiency, maximize vertical space, and adapt as your operation grows. Whether you’re planning a new facility or upgrading an existing one, our solutions are engineered to perform.
Pallet Racking Systems
When you need a full racking system and not just parts, these options form the core of many warehouse layouts.
- Selective Pallet Rack: A flexible, high-access option that makes it easy to reach any pallet. Selective rack is ideal when you handle a wide variety of SKUs and need straightforward organization.
- Drive-In Pallet Rack: A high-density solution built for storing larger quantities of similar products. The drive-in rack reduces aisles, helping maximize cube utilization.
- Pushback Pallet Rack: A compact storage system that keeps pallets staged in lanes for faster retrieval than many high-density alternatives. Pushback works well for operations balancing density and selectivity.
- Galvanized Pallet Rack: For cold storage, outdoor exposure, or harsh environments, galvanized racks add corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
Automation & Elevated Structures
Some operations need more than standard rack layouts. They need systems that support speed, scale, or multi-level workflows.
- AS/RS Systems: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) pair racking with automated equipment to support high-throughput environments, tighter inventory control, and space-efficient storage.
- Rack-Supported Mezzanines: When floor space is tight, rack-supported mezzanines help you build upward. These structures use racking as part of the support framework, creating additional usable area for storage, picking, staging, or work zones.
- Case Picking & Shelving Solutions: Not every product belongs on a pallet. These solutions support each-pick, case-pick, and small-item workflows.
- Carton Flow Rack: Carton flow is designed for efficient picking and product rotation, supporting FIFO movement and smoother order fulfillment. It’s a smart option for pick modules, fast-moving SKUs, and replenishment-friendly lanes.
- Industrial Shelving Systems: Industrial shelving provides organized storage for parts, supplies, and smaller inventory. It’s commonly used in maintenance areas, backrooms, tool cribs, and light-duty storage applications.
Rack Components
These components are the structural building blocks behind custom pallet racking systems. Whether you’re configuring a new layout or replacing parts, each element plays a specific role in capacity and performance.
- Pallet Rack Uprights: Vertical columns that support the system and allow adjustable beam placement
- Pallet Rack Frames: Complete upright assemblies designed for stability and load requirements
- Pallet Rack Beams: Horizontal load-bearing members that create pallet levels
- Pallet Rack Cross Bars (42”): Support members used to help stabilize or support loads depending on configuration
- Row Spacers: Maintain consistent spacing between rack rows and enhance alignment/stability
Safety & Add-Ons
Efficient storage should never come at the expense of safety. These options help protect people, products, and racking, especially in high-traffic forklift environments.
- Pallet Rack Safety Equipment: Safety equipment may include protective elements and safeguards that reduce impact damage and help support safer operations around rack rows.
- Pallet Racking Accessories: Accessories help tailor your rack system to the way you store and handle inventory. Depending on the application, add-ons can support better load handling, more efficient picking, or improved organization.
How UNIRAK Approaches Storage System Design
Selecting the right storage system involves more than choosing a rack type. Capacity requirements, equipment clearances, product flow, and long-term flexibility all factor into the final design. UNIRAK takes a system-level approach to ensure each solution supports day-to-day operations as well as future growth.
Key considerations typically include:
- Inventory characteristics
- Handling equipment and aisle requirements
- Throughput and picking strategies
- Building constraints
- Scalability and reconfiguration
By aligning these factors early in the process, UNIRAK helps customers avoid over-engineering, under-utilization, and costly rework later on.
