Optimal use of space with stacking racks

Making good use of available space is of great importance in warehouses and distribution centers. Yet, it is more difficult to utilize all the available space, than often is expected. One of the means of storage that is frequently used when (temporarily) storing pallets, for example, are stacking racks. What stacking racks are exactly, how you can utilize them as effectively as possible and which stacking rack suits you best, will be listed in this blog.

What is a stacking rack?

A stack rack is also called a manurack and pallet rack. This type of racking is intended for storing (pallets of) goods. These racks can be used to easily and efficiently store goods for a short period of time, but can also be placed permanently. Storage space can be built up as desired with the stacking racks and stakes. By combining the desired amount and size of racks with stakes of the right height, you can create a storage space that perfectly matches the goods you store in it. As a result, no space is lost and you can easily adjust the racks when you want to store goods with different dimensions.

 

Benefits of a stacking rack

There are many advantages that make stacking racks a widely used storage tool. In addition to their efficiency and ability to be arranged as desired, these racks are also:

 

- Easy to move, expand and disassemble

- Indoor and outdoor use (please note the coating)

- Height adjustable

- Can be used for heavy goods thanks to high load capacity

- Easy to store when not in use

 


 

Effective layout

Thanks to the stacking blocks and stakes, you can use stacking racks to build storage in different heights, widths and depths. You can build up to 6 meters high racking with Kruizinga's stacking racks. So it is possible to place the stacking racks at different heights, to make space for specific pallets and goods.


In addition, the various accessories allow you to arrange the racking to suit your own needs. You can make a stacking rack mobile by mounting wheel plates under it and cover the bottom, sides and back with cover plates if you want to store small or thin material. By using brackets and plug-in brackets, you can equip the stacking racks with extra stanchions or move them with a forklift truck.


 

Which stacking rack suits your needs?

There are different types of stacking racks available. In addition, you can purchase these racks in different ways. We list the differences so you can make the best choice for your own storage.

 

Mobile stacking racks

These racks are easy to move with forklifts, allowing them to be moved around a distribution center or warehouse. These mobile stacking racks can be built from three racks, with stakes you can determine the desired height of the three racks. Each rack must be moved individually, this is not possible with several stacked on top of each other.

Big bag racks

These racks are equipped with a form-fitting big bag. You can fill these bags with, for instance, raw materials, loose material or waste. Kruizinga's big bag racks have a high load-bearing capacity, are provided with a sturdy construction and have inset skids for moving with a forklift truck and stacking lugs. This allows you to store your goods easily and efficiently.

 

Used stacking racks

At Kruizinga, in addition to new products, we also offer circular storage and transportation solutions. For example, you can come to us for a used stacking rack. These have been used before, however, they are still in good condition and can last for years. A used stacking rack is a solid, circular and inexpensive alternative to a new one. Take a look at our current offer, where we provide you with recent photos and a clear description of the condition of the stacking racks. This allows you to decide whether a used stacking rack is a good solution, or whether a new rack would suit you better after all.

We have a wide range of stacking racks, but specific requirements and applications may require customization. In that case, Kruizinga will be happy to help you.
