Direct Access
Choose a system that prioritises access to individual pallet positions when SKU variety and frequent picking are important.
Compare pallet racking, high-density racking and hand-picked shelving systems for Singapore warehouses, factories, stockrooms and distribution operations.
Rack & Save Pte Ltd helps businesses plan the system around stock profile, pallet quantity, SKU range, access requirements, available height and material-handling workflow.
The strongest racking layout is not automatically the system with the highest storage density. The correct choice depends on pallet access, SKU variety, stock rotation, forklift operation, aisle width, building height and how frequently goods move through the warehouse.
Choose a system that prioritises access to individual pallet positions when SKU variety and frequent picking are important.
Reduce aisle space where the operation can accept deeper storage lanes or specialised handling arrangements.
Use Longspan, Boltless or Multi-Tier Shelving where cartons, bins, parts and non-palletised goods are picked manually.
Use the individual product pages for detailed specifications, project images and system-specific planning information.
Direct access to pallet positions for operations handling varied SKUs and frequent stock movement.
View Selective RackingStores pallets two positions deep to increase storage density while reducing the number of operating aisles.
View Double DeepUses narrower aisles and available height to increase pallet positions where suitable equipment and operating clearances are available.
View VNA RackingHigh-density lane storage for larger quantities of similar palletised goods where direct access to every pallet is not required.
View Drive-In RackingMedium-to-heavy hand-picked shelving for cartons, parts, bulky stock and warehouse picking applications.
View LongspanFlexible light-to-medium duty shelving for storerooms, offices, workshops, retail stockrooms and general storage.
View Boltless ShelvingMulti-level hand-picked storage that makes better use of height in suitable warehouse and stockroom environments.
View Multi-TierOpen-fronted storage for long loads including pipe, bar, timber, profiles and other extended-length materials.

| System | Best suited to | Access / density focus | Related page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selective Pallet Racking | Varied SKUs and frequent pallet access | High selectivity | Selective |
| Double Deep | Higher pallet density with suitable handling equipment | Reduced aisles / deeper storage | Double Deep |
| VNA | High-bay warehouses using narrow operating aisles | Height and floor utilisation | VNA |
| Drive-In | Large quantities of similar palletised goods | High-density lanes | Drive-In |
| Longspan / Shelving | Cartons, bins, parts and hand-picked goods | Manual picking and organisation | Warehouse Shelving |
Send enough site and stock information to compare the systems on operating fit, not only rack capacity.
Floor area, clear height, columns, doors, loading bays, fire-safety equipment, obstructions and access routes.
Pallet dimensions, weights, SKU quantity, turnover, carton sizes and whether stock is palletised or hand-picked.
Forklift type, turning requirements, lift height, aisle preferences and daily receiving, replenishment and dispatch activity.
Selective pallet racking is commonly considered where direct access to a wide range of SKUs is important. The final choice should still reflect pallet profile, throughput, available space and handling equipment.
Double deep, drive-in and VNA configurations can increase density in different ways. Each has different access, equipment and operating requirements.
Longspan, Boltless and Multi-Tier Shelving are common options for non-palletised stock. The appropriate system depends on item dimensions, shelf load, picking frequency and available height.
Rack & Save discusses site assessment, layout planning, supply and installation for racking and shelving projects in Singapore. Final scope should be confirmed for the specific project.
Send Rack & Save your warehouse dimensions, stock profile, pallet information and photos so the team can discuss a suitable racking direction for the premises.
