Racking decides how well a warehouse performs, more than most businesses realise. At Filstor, we supply a comprehensive range of industrial racking solutions for warehouses, workshops, and stockrooms across the UK. That being said, we will walk you through what each system does best, and where it fits.
Longspan Shelving For Hand-Loaded Stock
Not every warehouse relies on forklifts for day-to-day storage and retrieval. Longspan shelving suits businesses that load stock by hand, from stockrooms to archive storage. Shelf levels adjust to fit boxes, files, or equipment of varying sizes. Extension bays let the system grow alongside a business, without the cost of starting again.
The Longspan Starter Bay includes additional shelf levels and extension bays for a layout that adapts as stock changes. For component storage, our steel shelf units combine shelving with removable parts bins. Items stay visible at a glance, making stock simple to locate and restock. It remains one of the most flexible systems in the range, suited to warehouses, workshops, and offices alike.
Cantilever And Bar Racking For Long Or Bulky Loads
Timber, steel sections, and pipework rarely fit onto standard shelving units. Cantilever racking offers open-fronted access, so long or awkward materials load and unload with ease. Arm spacing adjusts to suit different load lengths, which keeps handling straightforward no matter what you are storing. It suits builders' merchants, engineering workshops, and businesses storing lengths of timber or steel.
Vertical And Sheet Racking For Flat Materials
Sheet materials need a different kind of support, and vertical racking provides exactly that. Plywood, MDF, and plasterboard store upright, protected from bending and scratching. Metal sheets, acrylic, and laminate panels benefit from the same approach. This keeps stock organised and far easier to handle during picking.
Pallet Racking For High-Volume Storage
Some businesses still need palletised storage at scale, particularly where forklifts handle the bulk of daily movement. Our pallet racking is available in a range of heights, bay widths, and load capacities. This means it suits distribution centres as well as smaller warehouses with high-volume storage needs. Frames and beams carry the load safely, keeping stock organised and accessible at height.
Racking Accessories And Modular Growth
Racking accessories complete the system, from safety barriers to shelf dividers and end-of-aisle protection. Upright guards shield frames from forklift impact, while shelf dividers keep smaller items separated and easy to locate. They protect the investment, and keep the layout adaptable as stock and space requirements change. Every system in the range is modular, so additional bays, shelves, or accessories fit in without a full rebuild.
Choosing The Right System
Selecting the right system depends on what you store, how you access it, and how much space you have. Load capacity matters most, so always choose a system rated to carry the full weight of your stock safely. Our team can help identify the most suitable option for your premises and your budget.
