Engineering Excellence

Engineered Pallet Storage for Maximum Cubic Utilisation

At MECALUX RACKING, every industrial pallet racking structure is designed around pallet weight, dimensions, handling equipment, building seismic profiles, and rotational throughput (FIFO/LIFO). Whether direct access or high-density compaction is required, our certified manufacturing facilities deliver structural integrity and lasting reliability.

Selective Pallet Racking system
Direct Access · Versatile

Selective Pallet Racking

The worldwide benchmark for warehouses handling diversified SKUs. Delivers 100% immediate access to every pallet position and adapts seamlessly to any forklift type, pallet dimension, or unit load.

Pallet Access100% Direct Selectivity
Stock ManagementFIFO / LIFO Adaptable
Clearance HeightUp to 30+ Metres
Beam CapacitiesUp to 5,000 kg / Level
Standard & Narrow Aisle (VNA) Certified EN 15512
Drive-in / Drive-through Racking
High Density · Homogeneous SKUs

Drive-In & Drive-Through Racking

Eliminates operating aisles by guiding forklifts directly into deep storage lanes. Provides maximum volumetric space exploitation, making it prime for cold stores, freezers, and bulk production batches.

Space UtilisationUp to 85% of Floor Area
Stock ManagementLIFO (Drive-In) / FIFO (Drive-Thru)
Lane DepthUp to 10+ Pallets Deep
Cold Storage FitIdeal for -30°C Freezers
Heavy Gauge Support Arms FEM / RMI Standard
Mobile Pallet Racking Movirack
Motorised · 100% Selectivity

Mobile Pallet Racking (Movirack)

Conventional racking mounted on electronically driven mobile bases guided by floor rails. A single working aisle opens on demand via remote command, virtually doubling storage capacity without sacrificing direct access.

Capacity Increase80% to 100% Greater Storage
Control InterfacePLC / Radio Remote / WMS
Integrated SafetyExterior & Interior Photoelectric Barriers
Energy EfficiencyOptimised Refrigeration Volumes
Certified Electronic Drive CE Marked Equipment
Semi-automated Pallet Shuttle System
Semi-Automated · High Throughput

Pallet Shuttle Racking System

An autonomous motor-driven shuttle runs inside storage channels to deposit and retrieve pallets. Operators stay in the main transfer aisle, vastly shortening operational cycle times and preventing rack collision damage.

Channel DepthUp to 40+ Metres Continuous
Shuttle SpeedUp to 90 m/min (unloaded)
Power TechnologyLithium-ion Fast Charge Batteries
Operation ModeTablet / RF / Easy WMS Interface
Semi-Automated Carrier High Safety Factor
Pallet Flow Racking system
Strict FIFO · Gravity Driven

Pallet Flow Racking

Incorporates inclined roller beds with built-in speed brakes and split-roller separators. Pallets fed at the loading face slide gently by gravity toward the picking face, guaranteeing flawless First-In, First-Out rotation.

Rotation ModelGuaranteed FIFO Control
Speed RegulationCentrifugal Brake Rollers
Separation TechMechanical Pallet Retainers
Best ApplicationPerishables, FMCG & Buffer Areas
Zero Electrical Consumption EN 15512 Approved
Push-Back Pallet Racking
Compact LIFO · Fast Handling

Push-Back Pallet Racking

Utilises nested telescopic carts or gravity roller tracks on an inclined plane. Loading each unit gently pushes existing pallets back into the lane. Operators load and unload from a single working aisle under a streamlined LIFO sequence.

Channel Depth2 to 6 Pallets Deep
Stock ManagementLIFO Working Method
Configuration OptionsTelescopic Carts or Flow Rollers
Manoeuvre TimeMinimal Transit Travel Needed
Heavy Duty Cart Bearings Engineered Tolerances
Rack Supported Clad-Rack Warehouse
Turnkey Construction · Maximum Height

Rack-Supported Clad-Rack Warehouses

An advanced civil and logistics engineering solution where the racking structure itself supports the external roof and wall cladding, as well as resisting seismic, snow, and wind forces. Eliminates the requirement for conventional structural building pillars, enabling storage buildings exceeding 45 metres in height with automated stacker cranes.
