Rack Supported Platform Singapore
Rack Supported Platform systems create additional usable floor area above pallet racking or shelving, allowing the storage structure below to support an upper platform.
This differs from a Multi-Tier Shelving arrangement, where shelving continues through multiple levels. A rack-supported platform can be considered when a project needs storage below and a usable upper floor above, subject to the selected rack configuration, loading, access and site requirements.
Rack-supported mezzanine planning: Where a mezzanine racking system uses storage racks or shelving to support the upper level, the storage layout and platform arrangement must be designed together. Check storage unit loads, column positions, manual picking or pallet handling, stair access and fire-safety requirements before selecting this approach.
Mention your site dimensions and what you need to store. Photos or an existing layout are helpful for the initial discussion.

Rack Supported Platform Planning Guide
A Rack Supported Platform creates usable open floor area above racking or shelving below. It is particularly useful when the storage system itself can support the upper platform and the project needs both ground-level storage and usable space above.
Rack & Save distinguishes this from Multi-Tier Shelving: a rack-supported platform creates an open floor above the supporting racks, while multi-tier shelving continues the shelving system through multiple storage levels.
Where This Product Fits
Hand-pick storage operations
Use the supporting racking or longspan shelving below for accessible stock while the upper platform provides additional usable floor area.
Reserve stock above
Create a separate upper level for suitable reserve cartons, parts or slower-moving inventory.
Picking and packing support
Separate selected activities by level so storage, replenishment and order preparation can be organised around the available height.
Secure upper storage
Mesh fencing or other suitable enclosures can be considered where a lockable upper storage compound is required.
What to Check Before Finalising the Layout
Supporting rack configuration
The racking or shelving below must be planned together with the upper platform because it forms part of the support system.
Floor loading and shelf loading
Match the intended upper-floor use and the loads stored below to the system capacities stated in the project design.
Decking selection
Rack & Save lists metal planks or grating as suitable platform surfacing options; final decking should match the project and fire-safety requirements.
Access and services
Coordinate steel staircase access, guardrails, lighting, sprinklers and electrical services with the platform layout.
Final dimensions, loading, access, services and site requirements are project-specific and should be confirmed during site assessment and design.
Rack Supported Platform vs Multi-Tier Shelving
Use Rack Supported Platform when you need an open usable floor above the supporting storage system. Use Multi-Tier Shelving when the priority is dense hand-pick shelving arranged across multiple accessible storage levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What supports a Rack Supported Platform?
The current Rack & Save product description states that the platform can be constructed from standard pallet racking or longspan shelving components, with the storage system below supporting the upper floor.
Is the upper level always filled with shelving?
No. The defining feature is the open usable floor area above the supporting racking or shelving. The upper level can then be planned around the intended project use.
Can the system be customised?
Yes. Rack & Save states that rack-supported platforms are custom-engineered to suit project requirements. Size, loading, access and the supporting storage layout should be confirmed during planning.
