Adjustable Pallet Racking is designed for maximum storage capacity and fast availability. It ensures unrestricted access to your pallets at all times. We design, supply and install the most advanced adjustable pallet racking systems on the market.

Available up to 30 metres and in variable widths and depths, it meets European requirements and provides efficient, flexible solutions for every need.

The same product can be used for multiple height warehouses and more; whatever configurations you have to work with we have a pallet racking system for you.

Double Deep Pallet Racking is practical for high-volume single SKUs required for rapid despatch. Store up to four pallets deep to swiftly dispatch large, single-SKU orders. The double-entry aisle offers easy access through dual pantograph or sliding fork attachments.

Ideal for businesses with a minimal range of products which deliver in high volumes. As the name implies, a variant of standard adjustable beam racking, double-deep pallet racking, allows pallets to be stored two profound but still accessible from the same aisle.

A double-deep configuration provides a highly space-efficient storage system by reducing access aisles and saving space to accommodate additional racking.

Drive-in pallet racking offers the best solution when block staging is not an option. It’s also great for storing those items that need to be stronger to be stacked. Pallets are stacked by the first-in, last-out (FILO) principle on supports mounted on both sides of the drive-in channels.

This means individual pallets cannot be accessed directly but one by one from the front of the rack. Drive-in pallet racking is designed for storing large quantities of the same or similar product/pallet, increasing the storage space utilisation compared to conventional pallet racking.

Unlock exceptional storage efficiency with multi-tier pallet racking systems, a solution that can elevate your stacking capacity by up to 100%. Ideal for businesses managing substantial pallet quantities and demanding high pick rates, multi-tier pallet racking optimises your warehouse operations.

Our High Bay Pallet Racking system offers unmatched safety and reliability, eliminating the necessity for personnel in the racking aisles. This innovative solution enhances workplace safety while maximising space utilisation, making it an excellent choice for companies aiming to streamline their storage processes and improve overall efficiency.

Trust PD Industrial for professional pallet racking solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Narrow-aisle pallet racking is a great way to maximise your storage capacity within the same footprint of space, and still allows for quick order picking and fast accessibility to every pallet.

By allowing forklift trucks to operate in aisles of up to half the width required in conventional adjustable beam pallet racking, narrow aisle racking makes excellent use of floor space and maximises the height at which goods can be stacked. Compact and efficient, it’s a construction set-up used increasingly across various industries with limited warehousing space.

Using specialised lift trucks in either ‘man-down’ or ‘man-up’ variants, narrow aisle racking is precision-designed for safe, efficient load handling within the tight confines of these space-efficient aisles.

We will help you find the best accessories for your pallet racking, including pull-out units, mesh decking, shelving panels, support bars, locking pins, levelling plates and more.

Pallet racking barriers protect fast, heavy-moving machinery in aisles or around racking systems. With attachable end column upright protection, pallet racking barriers are designed to protect the side of a racking system at ground level.

Keeping your storage solution safe is essential, especially if you use forklift trucks in your warehouse; with our easily configured racking barriers, you can keep your frames safe.
