It is very important to know the size and weight of the items you are going to store because an item can be large but very light in weight, or smaller but quite heavy, which will determine the type of shelving that best fits your application.

You need to know the potential storage space you have available, it is important to note; not only how much horizontal floor space you have, but also how much vertical space there is too, because vertical space can also be used for storage if you use a mezzanine, stacking pallet frames, or high-rise Gondola Shelf Dividers. You could potentially go 3 or 4 levels high if you have the ceiling clearance and a stacker, lift truck, or forklift with an appropriate lift height.

Once you have determined the size and weight of your items and how much floor and vertical space you have, it is time to decide what type of racking that would best suit your needs.

There are many types of Gondola Shelving Candy Rack available, bolted, and boltless, pallet racking, cantilever racking, rivet racking, and wide span shelving are some of the most popular ones.

Some of these racks can be stationary, mobile, drive in, drive through, or push back depending on your application.

Due to the size and weight of most industrial and commercial products you may need a rack that can hold a higher capacity, because of the strength gained from the use of sturdy bolted racking (or structural racking) is a widely used form of racking both industrially and commercially.

Boltless racking, on the other hand, uses Gondola End Cap instead of bolts which give this type of shelving the added advantage of being highly adjustable. One of the most popular forms of boltless racking is rivet racking; some of the benefits of rivet racking are ease of assembly, configuration choices, and unobstructed access from two or more sides.

Pallet racking is the most versatile type of racking because it can accommodate items of various sizes and lengths to fit goods with a variety of sizes and weights stacked on pallets.
