What is pallet racking with integrated shelving?
Pallet racking with integrated shelving is an industrial storage system designed to accommodate non-palletised or mixed load units, combining the structural principles of conventional pallet racking with continuous storage surfaces. In these systems, storage levels are not formed solely by beams but are complemented by continuous shelves, allowing the direct storage of cartons, containers and loose products without the need for pallets. Unlike standard pallet racking, which is primarily designed for uniform palletised loads, this solution provides greater flexibility in SKU management, making it particularly suitable for operations where pallets, cartons and non-standardised products must be stored within the same system. The system is based on a modular structure of uprights and beams supporting continuous shelving levels that transform each bay into a fully accessible storage surface. This approach makes it possible to combine pallet storage and manual picking within a single installation, creating hybrid storage systems capable of supporting both stock holding and order fulfilment activities simultaneously.
