1. Selective Racking

Selective racking is used in most industrial cold storage warehouses of factories and enterprises because it meets the needs of fast and continuous import and export of goods. The Selective racking system is made of imported heat-resistant steel, can be used at temperatures of -600 degrees Celsius and ensures absolute safety in cold storage. Not only that, Selective racking is suitable for many types of pallets, wide aisles, forklifts can access all palletized goods and many common types of forklifts.

For Selective racking systems, goods will be placed on pallets and then moved by forklift one by one to the shelf level, or you can store goods directly on the shelf surface when there is no need to use pallets.

2. Drive-In Racking

A top choice for cold storage for many businesses today that you should not miss is the construction of cold storage using the Drive-In racking system. Drive-In can minimize aisles, thereby greatly increasing storage density, utilizing up to 80% of warehouse space.

3. Double Deep Racking

A racking system similar to the Selective racking design that increases storage capacity while maintaining flexibility and saving aisle space is the Double Deep Racking system. This cold storage racking operates on a first-in, last-out method. This means that to access the inner pallet, the outer pallet must be moved.

– Install mezzanine floor: This design is suitable for businesses that want to zone to easily manage goods in cold storage, and employees can access goods at height.

5. Medium-duty shelving

For goods with relatively small loads such as processing ingredients, vegetables, tubers, etc., you should choose medium-duty shelving with a load capacity of 100 – 700Kg/tier. The industrial cold storage medium-duty shelving system includes Omega uprights, beams, braces, and support bars. All are made of high-quality imported SS400 steel, and the shelf decks are made of various materials according to requirements.

Applications of cold storage racking in the food industry

Choosing cold storage racks not only ensures long-term preservation but also saves investment costs, significantly increasing profits for businesses.

– Industrial cold storage for beverages: Cold storage racks play an important role in factories producing bottled and canned beverages, which are often stored in low-temperature warehouses. Constructing a cold storage with selective racking will help businesses control import and export goods, maintain appropriate inventory levels, and optimize warehouse space utilization.

– Food cold storage: Fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, etc., must be stored at ideal cold temperatures to help them maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage.
