What is pallet live racking?

Pallet live racking uses inclined gravity rollers with speed controllers so pallets loaded at the rear roll to the picking face. Stock rotates first in, first out, which suits date-coded goods and fast picking.

Order quantities, lead time and delivery

There is no fixed minimum order. Full 20 ft or 40 ft containers give the lowest cost per bay, and mixed loads of racking, shelving and accessories are common. Typical lead time is 3 to 5 weeks production plus 5 to 7 weeks sea freight to a UK port, then delivery to your site; your quote confirms the dates. See lead times and delivery.

Samples and documents

We can send sample sections, such as a beam end and an upright offcut, so you can check profile and finish. Sample cost and courier are quoted by our sales team. Each order ships with our load tables, and test reports are available on request; see quality and standards.
