Picking Racking
Picking racking is designed for warehouses where goods are stored and retrieved manually. Suitable for small and medium-sized items, it allows a wide range of SKUs to be organised efficiently, while helping streamline order fulfilment and reduce errors during picking and order preparation.
We design and install customised picking racking systems for a wide range of industries, including mechanical workshops, automotive, e-commerce, food and industrial spare parts. Their modular, configurable design allows each system to be tailored to the warehouse’s specific storage volumes, load requirements and picking flows, while making full use of the available space, including vertical space.
Technical features and components of picking racking
Picking racking systems are designed with components sized to meet the required load capacity and a modular structure that provides strength, flexibility and easy reconfiguration as storage requirements change over time.
- Height-adjustable shelves to accommodate goods of different sizes
- Modular, configurable and expandable to meet changing requirements
- Shelf load capacity tailored to the type of goods being stored
- Components available in galvanised or painted finishes for enhanced long-term durability
- Compatible with accessories such as drawers, dividers and container-support shelves
- Configurations with walkways and mezzanine floors for high-density storage environments
- Integration with containers, barcode systems and identification solutions
Benefits of picking racking for warehouse operations
Picking racking provides direct access to stored goods, helping operators work more efficiently and reducing order preparation times. Its modular, well-organised layout makes it easier to manage a large number of SKUs, including items of different sizes and weights, while keeping the warehouse organised and reducing the risk of picking errors. High-quality components and proper system design help maintain reliable performance and functionality over time.
Maintenance and safety of picking racking
Picking racking systems must be used and maintained in accordance with safety requirements appropriate to the type of system installed and its operating environment. For systems covered by UNI EN 15635, this includes regular inspections, the management of any damage and ongoing monitoring by a designated internal person responsible for rack safety (PRSES).
Custom design for your picking racking
Before defining a solution, we analyse the warehouse workflow, considering factors such as the type and turnover of stored items, picking frequency, available space and operating procedures. We then configure the racking system accordingly, defining the number of bays, shelf heights and load capacity per level to reduce picking times and improve workstation ergonomics.
The system can also be designed to integrate with warehouse management and traceability technologies, including barcode and RFID systems, supporting faster, more controlled picking operations.
FAQ
Load capacity varies depending on the racking system and its configuration. It is determined during the design stage based on the type of load to be stored, ensuring adequate stability and safe performance over time.
Yes. The modular design allows the number of bays, shelf heights and accessories to be configured according to the available space, the type of items stored and the picking workflow.
Picking racking systems are used across a wide range of industries, including mechanical workshops, automotive, spare parts distribution, e-commerce and the food sector. They are particularly suited to applications where goods need to be stored and picked manually using a flexible, well-organised system.
