Qatar Rackings offers 14 types of warehouse racking and shelving systems engineered for maximum storage efficiency, safety, and durability. Find the perfect solution for your warehouse.
Selective pallet racking is the most widely used warehouse storage system worldwide and the backbone of efficient inventory management. This system provides direct access to every single pallet position, making it ideal for warehouses with a wide variety of SKUs that require immediate accessibility.
Applications: General warehousing, distribution centers, 3PL facilities, retail backrooms, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and any operation requiring direct pallet access.
Direct access to 100% of pallets — no moving other pallets
Load capacity: 1,000 kg – 4,000 kg per beam level
Compatible with all forklift types including reach trucks
Easy beam height adjustment for flexible storage configurations
Industries: Logistics, FMCG, Retail, E-commerce, Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing
Double deep pallet racking stores pallets two deep on each side of the aisle, increasing storage density by up to 40% compared to conventional selective racking while still maintaining reasonable stock accessibility. A reach truck with double deep pantograph attachment is used for loading and retrieval.
Applications: Warehouses with moderate SKU variety, bulk storage areas, distribution centers needing higher density than selective racking can offer.
Up to 40% more storage density than single-deep selective racking
Load capacity: 1,000 kg – 3,500 kg per beam level
Reduces aisle count for better space utilization
FIFO or LIFO management depending on configuration
Industries: Logistics, FMCG, Cold Storage, Distribution
Drive-in racking provides the highest density pallet storage by allowing forklifts to drive directly into the racking lanes. Pallets are stored on continuous rails, eliminating aisles between racks. Drive-in operates on LIFO (Last In, First Out) while drive-through offers FIFO (First In, First Out) for perishable goods.
Applications: Bulk storage, cold storage facilities, seasonal inventory, food and beverage warehouses, and any operation storing large quantities of identical products.
Up to 85% floor space utilization — the most dense option
Load capacity: 1,000 kg – 1,500 kg per pallet position
Ideal for homogeneous product storage with low SKU diversity
Significant cost savings on cold storage energy consumption
Industries: Cold Storage, FMCG, Food & Beverage, Logistics
Push back racking uses a system of nested carts on inclined rails, allowing pallets to be stored up to 6 deep from a single aisle. When a pallet is loaded, it pushes the one behind it back. When a front pallet is removed, the ones behind it roll forward automatically by gravity.
Applications: Medium to high-density storage, warehouses with moderate SKUs, distribution facilities requiring quick loading and unloading from the aisle face.
Store 2–6 pallets deep per lane without entering the racking
Load capacity: 1,000 kg – 1,500 kg per pallet
Gravity-fed design reduces forklift travel time significantly
LIFO inventory management with automatic pallet advancement
Industries: FMCG, Logistics, Manufacturing, Cold Storage
Pallet flow racking uses gravity roller conveyors within the rack structure. Pallets are loaded at the higher end and flow down to the picking face by gravity with speed controllers. This ensures perfect FIFO rotation, making it essential for date-sensitive and perishable products.
Applications: Food and beverage distribution, pharmaceutical storage, FMCG warehouses, and any facility requiring strict batch rotation and expiry date management.
Perfect FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory rotation
Load capacity: 800 kg – 1,500 kg per pallet
Automatic pallet replenishment at the picking face
Separate loading and picking aisles for high-throughput operations
Industries: Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Cold Storage, FMCG
Cantilever racking features horizontal arms extending from vertical columns, creating unobstructed storage for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items. Without front columns blocking access, this system provides incredible flexibility for storing pipes, timber, steel profiles, furniture, and other awkward loads.
Applications: Steel yards, timber merchants, plumbing supply warehouses, furniture stores, building material depots, and manufacturing facilities handling long raw materials.
No front columns — full-length unobstructed access
Load capacity: 500 kg – 2,000 kg per arm level
Single-sided or double-sided configurations available
Adjustable arm heights for flexible storage arrangements
Industries: Manufacturing, Construction Supply, Automotive, Furniture
Mezzanine floor systems create additional usable floor space by constructing intermediate elevated platforms within your existing warehouse. This is the most cost-effective way to double or triple your storage area without facility expansion, relocation, or new construction.
Applications: E-commerce fulfillment centers, office-above-warehouse configurations, retail storage, manufacturing pick-and-pack areas, and any facility needing more floor area.
Double or triple your usable floor space instantly
Load capacity: 250 kg/m² – 1,000 kg/m² (uniform distributed load)
Integrated staircases, conveyors, and goods lifts available
Can be dismantled and relocated if facility changes
Industries: E-commerce, Retail, Logistics, Manufacturing, Office
Heavy duty racking is engineered for the most demanding industrial applications where maximum load capacity is essential. Constructed with reinforced uprights, heavy-gauge steel beams, and thicker frame profiles, this system handles the heaviest palletized loads in manufacturing, automotive, and heavy industry warehouses.
Applications: Heavy manufacturing storage, automotive parts, steel and metal stockyards, industrial equipment storage, and military/government logistics centers.
Maximum load capacity: up to 5,000+ kg per beam level
Reinforced uprights with extra-thick steel profiles (2.0mm+)
Sesmically rated for industrial safety compliance
Compatible with heavy-load forklifts and overhead cranes
Industries: Manufacturing, Automotive, Heavy Industry, Military/Government
Medium duty shelving is designed for hand-loaded applications where items are stored in bins, cartons, or individually. These versatile shelving units serve as the backbone of small-parts storage, order-picking areas, and archive rooms across warehouses and offices in Qatar.
Applications: Small parts storage, spare parts departments, document archives, retail stockrooms, workshop storage, and office file rooms.
Load capacity: 150 kg – 500 kg per shelf level
Adjustable shelf heights in 25mm or 50mm increments
Bolt-and-clip or boltless assembly options
Used for manual picking — no forklift required
Industries: Retail, Automotive Parts, Pharmaceutical, Office, Workshop
Boltless shelving (rivet shelving) systems offer the fastest assembly without any bolts, nuts, or special tools. Simply snap the components together for instant, sturdy shelving. These systems are perfect for quick-deployment storage needs in stockrooms, offices, workshops, and retail environments.
Applications: Quick-setup storage, home offices, workshops, retail backrooms, archives, light-duty warehouse storage.
Tool-free assembly — set up in minutes with rivet/clip design
