Conventional Storage Racking
Storage Racking: A Key Storage System in Malaysia Warehousing
Hyperack’s conventional storage range covers the systems shown below: boltless shelving, medium duty racking, heavy duty racking, cantilever racking and secondhand racking. Each suits different goods, handling methods and rated configurations. Selecting the right system starts with the actual items to be stored—their dimensions, unit weights and how they are loaded and retrieved—rather than a single load-class label.
What is Storage Racking?
Shelving systems use shelf panels or decking to support suitable cartons, parts and smaller stock. Cantilever racking supports long goods such as timber, pipes and steel bars on open arms. Select the support arrangement and loading method for the actual material, handling equipment and rated configuration.
Typical shelving applications include:
- Small to medium-sized goods
- E-commerce operations
- Spare parts storage
- Retail and backroom storage
Because of its accessibility and simplicity, storage racking plays a crucial role in many warehouses across Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
Choosing boltless racking by rated model and load:
Boltless racking can suit cartons, spare parts and smaller stock where the actual model’s rated level and bay loads match the items being stored. Suitability depends on the item dimensions, individual weights and how they are distributed across the shelf. Check the specific model’s stated level capacity and overall bay capacity before loading, and confirm the shelf dimensions and permitted load positions with the supplier. See boltless racking for the models Hyperack supplies.
Boltless racks offer several advantages:
- Interlocking components assembled according to the selected model’s instructions
- Confirm assembly requirements and floor anchoring with the supplier before installation
- Delivery and installation scope vary by model, quantity and location
- Review the rated layout options to confirm the configuration suits your goods
Because of these benefits, boltless racking is widely used not only in warehouses but also in homes, retail shops, and small businesses. It is commonly categorized into:
- Home-use boltless racks
- Commercial-use boltless racks
Confirm the chosen model’s available finish and colour options when requesting a quotation, as availability depends on the specific model and order.
Medium Duty Racking: Selecting by Rated Configuration
When considering medium duty shelving, compare the actual shelf, beam, deck, frame and bay ratings for the proposed configuration. Give the supplier your goods’ dimensions, unit weights, load distribution and intended level heights so the quotation can state the applicable loading limits.
Choose a handling method appropriate to the item size, weight and working height, and confirm the loading conditions and access needed for the selected system.
Heavy Duty Racking for Higher Load Requirements
The label “heavy duty” alone is not enough to choose a racking system. To receive an appropriate recommendation, provide the actual loaded unit weights and how that weight is distributed, the item dimensions, the handling equipment that will load and retrieve goods, and the level and bay capacity you need from the rated configuration.
Where goods are palletised, the requirement normally falls under pallet racking, which is designed for forklift-handled pallet loads and offers system variants for different density, access and rotation needs.
Choosing the Right Racking System
Start your selection by measuring the space and listing the goods to be stored. Hyperack’s stockroom measurement guide explains what to record, including floor dimensions, clear height and obstructions. Use the racking quotation brief (PDF) to organise your requirements before requesting a layout. For items stored in cartons or smaller packaging, the carton measurement guide covers how to record box dimensions and stacking limits.
