How Mobile Pallet Racking Can Transform Your Warehouse
Mobile pallet racking (also called movable racking) turns wasted aisle space into extra storage.
The racks sit on wheeled bases that move along floor tracks.
You only need one aisle – open it wherever you need it.
Result? Up to 100% more storage in the same building.
Here are the big wins:
1. Double Your Storage Capacity
- Fixed racks need an aisle between every row → 50% of floor space is wasted.
- Mobile racks compact together → only one moving aisle needed.
- Store almost twice as many pallets without moving to a bigger unit.
2. Faster Picking & Fewer Mistakes
- Open the exact aisle you need in seconds.
- Direct access to every pallet – no double-handling.
- Add barcode or RFID for even quicker, error-free picking.
3. Easy to Change as Your Business Grows
- Stock levels up or down? Just move the racks.
- New product sizes? Adjust beam heights in minutes.
- No expensive rebuilds or new premises.
4. Built-in Safety Features
- Aisle sensors stop racks closing on people or forklifts.
- Emergency stop buttons and safety locks.
- Photo-electric beams and floor pressure sensors.
- Peace of mind for you and your team.
5. Real Cost Savings
- No need to rent or build extra space.
- Faster picking = fewer staff hours.
- Lower energy bills (smaller building to heat and light).
How Mobile Pallet Racking Works – Simple Breakdown
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Floor tracks | Guide the racks in straight, smooth lines |
| Wheeled bases | Heavy-duty carriages that carry the whole rack |
| Racking | Same strong beams and uprights as normal racking |
| Control system | Push-button, remote, or fully automatic options |
| Safety sensors | Stop movement if anyone or anything is in the way |
You press a button → racks glide apart → one wide aisle appears exactly where you need it → load or unload → close the aisle again.
Perfect For
- Cold stores & freezers (huge energy savings)
- High-value or slow-moving stock
- Warehouses that are full but can’t expand
- Businesses that want more storage now – without the cost and hassle of moving
