Selective Pallet Racking
100% direct pallet accessThe European warehouse standard for multi-SKU stock with frequent turnover — adjustable beam levels on 50 mm pitch.
- Single/double deep
- CE & ISO 9001
From selective pallet racking for multi-SKU 3PL hubs to radio shuttle lanes for frozen food, every system is engineered to your pallet size, building height and forklift fleet.
The European warehouse standard for multi-SKU stock with frequent turnover — adjustable beam levels on 50 mm pitch.
Removes aisles to store large volumes of the same SKU — ideal for cold stores and beverage depots where every m² is costly.
Pallets roll by gravity from loading to picking face — strict FIFO for food, beverage and pharmaceutical distribution.
A battery shuttle moves pallets inside the lanes, so forklifts never enter the rack — safer and faster in freezer warehouses.
Open-front storage for timber, pipes, rebar and sheet — popular with builders' merchants across Europe, indoor or outdoor.
Nested carts on inclined rails give multiple pallet positions per lane while keeping several SKUs at the aisle face.
Free-standing column-and-beam platforms for picking, packing or offices, with custom decking, stairs and safety gates.
Pallet racking carries the floor above — combining bulk storage below with picking, sorting or assembly on upper levels.
A quick comparison our project engineers use in first consultations with European buyers. The right choice depends on SKU count, pallets per SKU, stock rotation rules and truck type.
| System | Storage Density | Pallet Access | Stock Rotation | Typical European Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selective Pallet Racking | Standard | Every pallet, direct | Any (FIFO / LIFO) | 3PL hubs, retail DCs, spare parts |
| Double Deep Racking | Medium | First pallet direct | LIFO | Wholesale with 2+ pallets per SKU |
| Drive-In Racking | High | Lane access | LIFO (FIFO with drive-through) | Cold stores, beverages, seasonal stock |
| Push Back Racking | Medium–High | Lane, 2–5 deep | LIFO | Food production, building materials |
| Radio Shuttle Racking | Very High | Lane via shuttle | FIFO or LIFO | Frozen food, dairy, high-volume FMCG |
| Gravity Flow Racking | High | Lane, picking face | Strict FIFO | Perishables, pharma, dated goods |
| VNA Racking | Medium–High | Every pallet, direct | Any | High-bay sites with turret trucks |
| Cantilever Racking | Long loads | Open front | Any | Timber, steel profiles, pipes |
Density is relative to standard selective racking. Final configuration is confirmed after a free layout review of your floor plan and handling equipment.
Guangzhou Heda Shelves Co., Ltd. was founded in 2001 and today designs and manufactures complete warehouse storage systems: pallet racking, industrial shelving, cantilever racking and mezzanine floors. Our 30,000 m² factory and 300+ technical staff produce up to 30,000 tonnes of racking per month.
For European distributors, installers and end users, that means one accountable source — from the first CAD layout and load calculation to production, seaworthy packing and documentation for your local inspection.
Watch: inside our racking production lines 
Procurement teams choose us to cut racking cost without cutting engineering quality — backed by certified production and transparent documentation.

Over two decades of racking projects across food, automotive, building supplies and cold chain — experience that anticipates problems before they reach your site.

Floor plans, 3D renderings and load tables prepared before you commit — so your team, landlord or inspector can review the design upfront.

Cold-formed structural steel, automated punching, pickling & phosphating and electrostatic powder coating under ISO 9001:2015 quality control.

Frame heights, beam lengths, RAL colours and accessories specified to your building, pallets and trucks — not forced into a catalogue size.
European warehouses run on Euro pallets, strict safety inspections and tight project timelines. Our export workflow is set up around those realities.
Bays planned around 1200 × 800 mm and 1200 × 1000 mm pallets, with correct beam clearances and pallet overhang.
Load tables and structural calculations referencing EN 15512 and EN 15620 principles available on request for local review.
CE certificate No. 2435-CPR-8605159, ISO 9001:2015 No. 18624Q00169R0M and RoHS compliance documents supplied with orders.
Seaworthy packing with numbered components; FOB, CIF or DDP options to major European ports and inland destinations.
Assembly drawings, installation guides and remote engineer support; on-site supervision for larger European projects.
Load notices, column guards, end protectors and anti-collapse mesh available to support EN 15635 periodic inspections.
Each industry has a different bottleneck. Select your sector to see the challenge we solve and the systems we typically recommend.

Storage for grain processors, seed suppliers, fertiliser distributors, feed manufacturers and agricultural co-operatives handling seasonal peaks.

From tyres and bumpers to small clips and fasteners, parts storage gets complex fast. We organise mixed SKUs so technicians find parts in seconds.

We work with builders' merchants to store timber, profiles, insulation and palletised materials safely — indoors and in outdoor yards.

Complete storage for food manufacturers, beverage producers, wholesalers and food distribution centres where shelf life and traceability matter.

Every cubic metre of a chilled or frozen store costs energy. High-density layouts reduce aisle volume and the refrigeration load per pallet.

Racking and mezzanine solutions for chemical manufacturers, lubricant distributors and paint warehouses that need segregation and stable drum support.
Real installations designed and manufactured by our team — the same engineering process applied to every European project.

Drum-rated pallet racking with segregated bays for an industrial chemical distributor.

Pallet storage below, multi-SKU picking above — floor area effectively doubled.

Reinforced racking structure supporting several picking levels for fast-moving spare parts.
One project engineer stays with you from the first drawing to the final container.

Review of your floor plan, pallets, loads and handling equipment.

CAD layout, 3D rendering and load calculations for approval.

In-house production with inspection at every stage.

Seaworthy packing, documents and delivery to your EU site.










Certificate numbers are published so your procurement or QHSE team can verify them independently before placing an order.
