Rack and Shelving Market Reaching New Highs

Known for their organizational capabilities, rack and shelving help cut down on clutter while helping to maximize existing floor space in a warehouse or DC. They also allow workers to use that space in a safer and more efficient manner—both of which can boost operational productivity. In a business environment where labor and real estate are costly and hard to come by, these warehouse mainstays continue to prove their worth.

Focused on maximizing the capacity of their existing floor space, more companies are asking their rack and shelving suppliers to help them achieve that goal. “Everyone is under an increasing amount of pressure to get their products out the door as quickly as possible,” says Kelly Kamlager, Wildeck’s director of marketing.

“Racking and shelving, as well as freestanding mezzanine solutions, provide a fast and cost-effective way to achieve the goal of more space,” Kamlager continues, noting that unlike costly and time-consuming renovations/new construction projects, racking, shelving and mezzanine solutions can be installed in a fraction of the time. “This creates minimal disruptions [while] maintaining facility productivity.”
