Micro rack and industrial shelving systems you should know before choosing
Questions about industrial racking and micro rack often arise when customers start planning storage in factories or warehouses. We have compiled common questions with expert answers to help you understand each racking type and choose what fits your business. 3Lux Storage is ready to advise at every step for efficient, cost-effective storage.
Selective support Mezzanine is a mezzanine floor supported directly by Selective Rack structure. It adds usable vertical space without building an entirely new structure, offers high strength and load capacity, and allows shelf positions to be adjusted to match your workflow.
Varry Narrow Rack suits businesses with limited floor space but high storage needs, such as logistics, e-commerce warehouses, and distribution centers, because it maximises storage density.
Selective support Mezzanine can be adjusted in height, shelf spacing, and mezzanine floor layout to fit the customer's actual site without replacing the entire warehouse structure
Consider available vertical space, forklift capability in narrow aisles, required picking speed, and product characteristics to choose the right size, height, and structure.
Because aisle widths can be designed narrower than conventional racking, increasing vertical storage capacity — ideal for warehouses with limited floor area and high density requirements.
Industrial shelving typically consists of upright posts, load-bearing beams, and adjustable shelf levels, usually made from high-quality steel for strength and safety.
Varry Narrow Rack has much narrower aisles, allowing denser layout but requiring specialised forklifts. Selective Rack works with standard forklifts and provides easy access to every pallet.
VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) forklifts are required — designed specifically for narrow aisles with high precision and strong vertical pallet handling.
Varry Narrow Rack is a racking system with specially narrow aisles that makes efficient use of vertical space, ideal for warehouses with limited area and high capacity needs.
Rollers in Roller Rack systems are typically made from galvanized steel or strong engineering plastics that resist wear and support product weight reliably.
It depends on the design. Generally, capacity ranges from 500 to 2,000 kg per pallet, depending on structure and materials used.
Mobile shelving offers flexible space management, increased storage when some rows are not in use, and suits warehouses that need to rearrange or expand in the future.
Yes. The system can be tailored to actual space dimensions, including height, shelf spacing, and load-bearing structure.
An office mezzanine uses vertical space inside a warehouse building to create office areas without external expansion — ideal for factories or warehouses with high ceilings.
Roller Rack uses rollers to move goods automatically or by gravity. It is commonly used on production lines or distribution points that follow FIFO (first in, first out) principles.
Combining systems creates more organised storage and blends the strengths of each type — such as easy access from selective rack and space efficiency from drive-in rack — to improve overall performance.
Industries with fast-moving goods such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and warehouses that need efficient FIFO inventory management.
Roller Rack uses gravity to move goods and suits high-rotation stock. Selective Rack uses forklifts for handling and suits random picking of individual pallets.
Medium Duty Rack is shelving for medium-weight goods such as tool boxes or general industrial parts, typically supporting 300–800 kg per shelf level.
They can be used together when you need to store small parts by category — Cantilever Roll Out makes shelves easy to pull out for work, while Micro Rack stores small items in compact spaces.
If you are looking for industrial racking that delivers both performance and real-world usability — whether micro rack, Varry Narrow Rack, Selective support Mezzanine, or other systems tailored to your space — the 3Lux Storage team is ready to provide professional advice at every step.
