Do you operate a warehouse that carries furniture, appliances, and other large storage items? Choosing the right option for you can be overwhelming, so we’ve compiled the 3 most popular ways to store your furniture products, safely and efficiently.
1. Warehouse Cantilever Racking Systems
Cantilever Racking Systems top the list as the most popular and efficient way to store furniture in your warehouse. With warehouse cantilever racking systems, you can easily organize those long, bulky and cumbersome items such as mattresses, cabinets, chairs, tables, and sofas. With enhanced organization, you and your employees can easily locate these items and return them back to their appropriate shelving single-handedly, optimizing your workforce and increasing your time management.
Some companies offer specialized warehouse cantilever racking systems that only have structural vertical supports at the very ends of the racks for easily loading and unloading. We recommend this particular design, as this is the best option for your longer than normal furniture items, that could easily be damaged with standard racking systems. The last thing you need are poles obstructing access to the shelves!
Another great feature of warehouse cantilever racking systems is the height of shelves is 100% customizable. This allows you to manage your space the most efficiently possible and adapt to changes in your warehouse. Cantilever arm lengths can also be adjusted to accommodate wider or bulkier items on your shelves. Complete with sturdy decking systems of corrugated steel, wood or wire mesh ensuring your furniture will never warp or bend over time.
If you’re looking for the best in vertical storage, nothing beats warehouse cantilever racking systems!
2. Glide-Out Racking Systems
Roll shelving racking systems or glide-out racking systems are a recent addition to the warehouse racking industry. Their most important benefit is that they are the strongest racking system that you can use. Glide-Out racks can store the heaviest and most difficult to store items and protect you and your employees from potential injury by making items easy to transport.
Made out of heavy-duty steel, these racking structures are built to last. Shelf weights capacities are unparalleled by any other shelving system, storing up to 4000 lbs per shelf!
3. Long Span Racking Systems
Last but not least, long span racking systems offer a good option for storing extremely long furniture items such as large couches, sectionals, beds, and tables. Designed for wide-loads and long, cumbersome items, it exceeds the capabilities of most run of the mill racking systems.
With its structural H-beans, long span racks deliver great strength and flexibility for a racking system of this size. The racks can reach a span of up to 40ft without diminishing your shelving capacity.
