Hong Kong Warehouse: Pallet Racking 101

By Edmund Koogle


More often than not, many Hong Kong warehouse facilities have storage space that is underutilized or is not used efficiently. If this is the case, operational and storage costs can easily pile up and your profits can be affected in a serious way. Therefore it makes sense to implement a warehouse storage system that will fit the needs of your business and ensure effective utilization of storage space.

It is often because of improper and inefficient storage practices that incidents such as theft, damage, and loss of merchandise happen in many Hong Kong warehouse facilities. Because your warehouse is not properly organized, monitoring the flow of your goods can be a very difficult task. Using the right storage system can help make storing and retrieving your goods more systematic and organized.

The pallet racking system is a widely used storage system in most Hong Kong warehouse facilities. It is able to use storage space efficiently by using the vertical space of the warehouse, specifically by stacking pallets on top of each other. This storage system can easily be customized to fit your storage needs and can allow you to store more variety of items in your warehouse.

Pallet racks are designed to be assembled and disassembled easily therefore it doesn't matter if you already have an existing storage system in your Hong Kong warehouse. With safety locks in place, you won't have to worry about the safety and security of your merchandise. This racking system requires the use of forklifts and this should make moving pallets easier and more efficient as well.

Another example of a reliable storage system for your Hong Kong warehouse is the mezzanine racking system. This is usually a structure built in-between floors of the building and can be rack-supported, shelf-supported, roll-formed or structural. It is an excellent storage system that also makes efficient use of the building's vertical space.

If you have unusually lengthy items in your inventory, the cantilever racking system may be an excellent choice for your Hong Kong warehouse. A typical cantilever rack is comprised of the vertical column, base, arms, and cross bracing. Like the previously mentioned storage systems, cantilever racks also offer flexibility since you can easily customize it to fit your storage needs.
