FAQs: Racking And Shelving
Why choose Caslad for racking and shelving systems?
As a leading supplier and manufacturer of industrial warehouse equipment in South Africa, Caslad understands the importance of maximising your available storage space. We supply high-quality, commercial-grade racking and shelving directly to warehouses, factories, and retail stockrooms nationwide. Partnering with Caslad ensures you receive robust structural storage systems backed by expert advice and reliable availability.
What is the difference between Racking and Shelving?
While both are used for storage, they serve different operational needs. Shelving is typically designed for lighter, hand-picked goods and smaller components. Racking (such as pallet racking) is engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, designed specifically to hold large, heavy loads that require forklifts or automated material handling equipment to load and retrieve.
What is a Structural Mezzanine floor?
A structural mezzanine is an elevated, free-standing floor system installed within your existing building. Instead of expanding your facility’s physical footprint, which can be incredibly costly, a mezzanine floor allows you to double your usable floor space by utilising the unused vertical headroom in your warehouse for additional storage, offices, or assembly areas.
What materials are Caslad racking and shelving systems manufactured from?
Safety and structural integrity are our top priorities. Our racking, shelving, and mezzanine systems are manufactured from high-grade structural steel. To ensure longevity and protect against rust, scratches, and the physical demands of daily industrial use, the steel is finished with a highly durable powder coating or is fully galvanised.
Can Caslad customise a storage layout for my specific warehouse?
Absolutely. We understand that every facility has unique spatial constraints and workflow requirements. Our racking and shelving systems are highly modular. We can assist you in configuring customised rack lengths, shelf heights, and aisle widths to perfectly integrate into your floor plan and optimise your picking efficiency.
What load capacities can your racking and shelving support?
Our storage systems are engineered to accommodate a vast spectrum of weight requirements. Light-duty commercial shelving can support everyday retail or archive loads, while our heavy-duty industrial pallet racking systems are structurally designed to safely support load capacities of several tons per beam level.
