Which Racking System Fits Your Warehouse?
A quick, engineer-written comparison to shortlist the right system before your first design meeting. Inventory rotation, SKU count and throughput matter more than rack price alone.
| System | Inventory flow | Storage density | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selective pallet racking | Direct access | Medium | High SKU counts, mixed pallet loads, general distribution |
| Drive-in racking | FILO / LIFO | High | Bulk storage of homogeneous SKUs, cold storage, seasonal stock |
| Pallet shuttle | FIFO or LIFO | Very high | Food & beverage, frozen goods, high-volume SKUs in deep lanes |
| Pallet flow racks | FIFO | High | Date-sensitive goods, high turnover, separate load and pick aisles |
| Automated pallet racking | System-controlled | Very high | 24/7 operations, tall clear heights, rising labor costs |
| Carton flow racks | FIFO | Medium | Each and case picking, e-commerce, assembly line feeding |
| Shelving system | Direct access | Low–medium | Spare parts, MRO, slow-moving small items |
| Open Face / Beamtype miniload | System-controlled | High | Tote and carton AS/RS, goods-to-person picking |
| ROBORACK | Robot-served | High | Scalable robotic fulfillment with fast deployment |
Engineer's tip: Share your dominant pallet type, maximum unit-load weight (lbs) and the building's clear height up front. Beam length, frame depth, flue spaces and anchoring all follow from these numbers — and getting them right early avoids costly re-engineering during permitting.
Engineered for North America
Built Around U.S. & Canadian Codes and Operating Realities
A racking system is a structure. We treat it that way — with calculations, documentation and installation practices that support permitting and long-term safety across the United States and Canada.
RMI / ANSI MH16.1 Approach
Rack designs for U.S. projects are prepared with reference to ANSI MH16.1, the Rack Manufacturers Institute specification for industrial steel storage racks.
CSA A344 for Canada
Canadian projects reference the CSA A344 series for the design, construction and use of steel storage racks, with provincial requirements confirmed per site.
Seismic & Permit Support
Load and seismic data, baseplate and anchoring details prepared to support IBC-based permit applications and review by the local authority having jurisdiction.
Fire Protection Ready
Layouts that respect NFPA 13 flue spaces and accommodate in-rack sprinkler requirements, coordinated with your fire protection engineer.
Imperial Units & GMA Pallets
Drawings and capacities in inches and pounds, with beams and frames sized for 48" × 40" GMA, CHEP and block pallets used across North America.
Safety & Protection
Frame protectors, load signage and inspection guidance help operators meet OSHA workplace-safety expectations and extend rack service life.
Code references describe our engineering approach. Final compliance is always confirmed with the project's engineer of record and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Proven Experience
Trusted by Leading Companies in Logistics, Retail & Manufacturing
Every year our specialists contribute to the design and layout of hundreds of warehouses and distribution centers worldwide. We have the capacity, knowledge and experience to solve any storage challenge — including integration with the world's leading automation suppliers.

View All FAQsDoes NEDCON supply and install warehouse racking in the United States and Canada?
Yes. NEDCON Storage Racking Solutions B.V. supports projects across the United States, Canada and the wider North American market through its U.S. branch in Harrison, Ohio and a network of trained resellers and installation partners. Every engineered project is assigned a dedicated Account Manager, Project Manager and Installation Manager.
Which pallet racking system offers the highest storage density?
Drive-in racking and pallet shuttle systems deliver the highest density for forklift-operated pallet storage because they eliminate most aisles. Drive-in racking works on a First In, Last Out (FILO) basis, while a pallet shuttle can run FIFO or LIFO. In tall buildings with high throughput, automated pallet racking served by stacker cranes or shuttles achieves the greatest density per square foot.
What is the difference between FIFO and LIFO storage racking?
FIFO (First In, First Out) ensures the oldest stock leaves first, which is essential for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other date-sensitive goods. Pallet flow racks, carton flow racks and FIFO-configured pallet shuttles support this principle. LIFO or FILO storage suits homogeneous, non-perishable products stored in bulk, such as building materials or packaging.
Are NEDCON racking systems designed for North American codes?
Our engineers prepare designs for U.S. and Canadian projects with reference to the applicable rack standards, such as ANSI MH16.1 published by the Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) in the United States and CSA A344 in Canada, together with local seismic, building-permit and fire-protection requirements. Final code compliance is confirmed with the project's engineer of record and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Can NEDCON racking be integrated with warehouse automation?
Yes. NEDCON automated pallet racking can be designed and built for any type of warehouse stacker crane and pallet shuttle, and our miniload and ROBORACK systems are engineered to work with leading automation integrators. Integrators such as Witron, Knapp and Vanderlande are among the companies that trust NEDCON.
What information is needed to start a warehouse racking project?
Send your building layout (CAD or PDF), clear height, pallet or carton dimensions and weights, number of SKUs, expected throughput and any future expansion plans to [email protected]. Specifying the dominant pallet type, for example 48 x 40 inch GMA, CHEP or block pallets, helps size beams and frames correctly from day one.
