With over 30 years of experience in the pallet racking industry, we are the trusted experts in the UK for delivering tailored racking solutions (both new and used systems). Our Mobile Pallet Racking systems offer a revolutionary way to optimise your storage capacity, improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.
What is Mobile Pallet Racking?
Mobile pallet racking comprises units of conventional pallet racking mounted on steel-framed base. This racking system is installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally, thus eliminating the need for aisles, which open up only when accessed.
The wheels run along a track set into the floor. Varying rack configurations and bogie types are available to suit single-bay loads of up to 15 tonnes and run lengths of up to 30 meters. This innovative system allows you to eliminate wasted aisle space by only opening the aisle you need to access at any given time. It’s the ideal solution for warehouses looking to maximise storage density without compromising accessibility.
Why Choose Mobile Pallet Racking
- Utlilises Your Warehouse Space
Mobile pallet racking significantly improves your storage density. By reducing unused aisle space, you can store more products within the same footprint, which can save you money. - Improved Accessibility
Unlike standard pallet racking systems, mobile racking provides full access to every pallet location, making inventory management quicker and more efficient. - Increased Safety in the Warehouse
Our mobile racking systems come equipped with sophisticated safety features to protect your workforce. Additionally, they help keep your warehouse organized by creating well-defined sections for your inventory. - Cost Efficiency
By optimisng your available space, mobile racking reduces the need for warehouse expansion, saving both time and money.

Explore how companies in various industries are optimising storage, boosting efficiency, and streamlining operations with our heavy-duty industrial pallet racking systems.
Adjustable Pallet Racking
This is the most common form of pallet racking. APR is a system of beams clipped into frames.
In general the beams support the pallet but on occasions the pallet is also supported by timber decking, mesh decking or pallet support bars.
Very Narrow Aisle Racking
Very Narrow Aisle Racking is generally used in warehouses which are a little tighter on space.
Using a narrow aisle Forklift truck allows you to access all pallets, lifting higher and working faster than standard counterbalance trucks.
Drive-in Racking
Drive-in Racking is an ideal system for large quantities of the same type of product. It is a variation to block stacking.
It works on the principle of first in last out so is not particularly good for stock rotation.
Push Back Racking
Push Back Racking systems are designed around the principle of organising space by depth rather than width.
This depth arrangement greatly reduces aisle space and increases storage density.
Shuttle Racking
Shuttle Racking is an alternative to Drive In racking or Live Storage Racking.
The idea is that each lane is a single product but unlike drive in racking not all products within the bay need to be the same thus allowing greater density of storage.
Live Storage Racking
Live Storage Racking is a system where pallets are put onto rollers at one end and they can then run down the rollers to be picked off at the other end.
It is a relatively expensive storage solution but can improve efficiency in many warehouses.
Mobile Pallet Racking
The Mobile Pallet Racking consist of units of conventional pallet racking mounted on a steel framed base.
This system is installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally, eliminating the need for aisles.
Special Racking
Carpets, carpet pads and rolls of vinyl are inefficiently stored on pallets, which is why carpet racks are a much better storage alternative to maximize your valuable floor space. A system that is good for storing rolled up lengths of material such as carpet.

What is Live Storage Racking?
Live Storage racking is a system where pallets are put onto rollers at one end and they can then run down the rollers to be picked off at the other end. It is commonly referred to as a first-out system This is typically used where there are large quantities of the same product or as a load collation system in a dispatch area.
When collating loads this is typically done with lanes of either 13 pallets deep (two lanes per load) or 26 pallets deep. This system relies on gravity to move the pallets and is often referred to as gravity racking. It is a relatively expensive storage solution but can improve efficiency in many warehouses.
Different types of live storage racking systems
– Live Push-Back Racking:
- Optimised Storage Density: This system enhances storage density with a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory management system, ensuring optimal use of available space.
– Live Flow Racking:
- Efficient Order Picking: Designed for first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management, Live Flow Racking streamlines order picking operations, promoting efficient rotation of goods.
– Live Carton Flow Racking:
- Versatile Manual Picking: Perfect for dynamic storage of cartons, Live Carton Flow Racking provides an organised and controlled solution for manual picking processes.

What is Shuttle Racking?
Shuttle racking is an alternative to Drive-In racking or Live Storage Racking. The idea is that each lane is a single product but unlike drive-in racking not all products within the bay need to be the same thus allowing greater density of storage. There is also the possibility to store the pallets either on a first in last out basis or first in first out.
The racking works by using a shuttle or satellite that is placed on rails under the pallet storage rails. These shuttles then pick up the pallet and take it to its storage place. We can in certain circumstances adapt existing drive-in racking to accommodate shuttle racking.
Why choose us for your new and used shuttle racking?
- Vigorous Safety Inspections – We only purchase and sell new and used racking that has gone through our vigorous inspection procedures by our expert technicians.
- We offer a full dismantling service – Our skilled team of installers can carefully break down your warehouse’s pallet rack shelving, along with additional accessories, quickly and efficiently. We will also schedule removal of the racking from the site, load the trucks with your used racking, and take it away from your warehouse.

What is push back racking?
Push Back Racking is a high-density storage solution that maximises both floor space and pallet count. Unlike traditional pallet racking systems, it utilises a “Last-In, First-Out” (LIFO) approach, providing easy access to multiple SKUs while maintaining efficiency.
Key features of push back racking
- Dynamic Pallet Storage: Push Back Racking allows for the dynamic storage of pallets on both depth and height, optimising available space. The system enables you to store multiple pallets of the same SKU in a single lane.
- Efficient Space Utilisation: With its unique design, Push Back Racking eliminates the need for numerous aisles. This results in significantly increased storage density, making it an ideal solution for businesses with limited floor space.
- Time and Labor Savings: The “gravity flow” design of Push Back Racking ensures that pallets slide forward for easy retrieval. This not only enhances accessibility but also reduces the time and labor required for material handling.
- Customisable Configurations: Tailor the Push Back Racking system to suit your warehouse layout and product specifications. Our customizable configurations offer flexibility, ensuring the system seamlessly integrates into your workflow.
Uses for push back racking
- Temperature-Controlled Environments: Ideal for cold storage facilities, Push Back Racking efficiently stores perishable goods.
- Fast-Moving Product Storage: Perfect for industries with a high pallet turnover rate, such as retail distribution centers.
- Bulk Storage: Optimise your warehouse space by efficiently storing large quantities of the same SKU.
Benefits of push back racking
- Increased Storage Density: Achieve higher storage capacity compared to traditional systems.
- Time and Labor Efficiency: Improve efficiency in material handling and reduce the need for extensive aisle space.
- Enhanced Accessibility: Easily access and retrieve pallets from various depths without disturbing neighboring loads.
Contact us today to discuss how Push Back Racking solutions from secondhandracking.com can transform your storage space, making it more efficient, accessible, and organised.
Advantages of push back racking
- Accessibility - All lanes can be accessed from the aisle at any time irrespective of the storage level
- Maintenance costs - Slow or fast movement of loads within lanes, requires little maintenance
- Applications - This type of system is well suited to the task of load marshalling, allowing up to six loads to be stored in each lane. It’s also great for bulk storage and bulk handling
- Identification - Each load in the depth can be identified by track-mounted ‘flags’ located on the access face
Why choose us for your new and used push back racking?

What is Drive-In Racking?
Drive-In racking is an ideal system for large quantities of the same type of product. It works on the principle of first in last (FILO) out so is not particularly good for stock rotation. It is often possible to in practice double the racking capacity of a conventional pallet racking system. Forklifts enter via a single access point to load or retrieve pallets from deep lanes, operating on a Last‑In, First‑Out (LIFO) basis. This system delivers exceptional space utilisation—up to 85% of warehouse footprint—and is ideal for bulk storage of homogeneous, non-perishable stock
It is a variation to block stacking. Sharing many of the same characteristics in that you have to move the last pallet to get to the next to last pallet etc. Drive-in racking can be used instead of block stacking where the pallets are likely to crush one another when stacked on top of each other.
Drive-In racking is constructed from a collection of frames not joined together by beams hence there is a large unsupported strut especially in higher installation. Attached to these frames are rails on which the edge of the pallets sit on.

Explore how companies in various industries are optimising storage, boosting efficiency, and streamlining operations with our heavy-duty industrial pallet racking systems.
Adjustable Pallet Racking
This is the most common form of pallet racking. APR is a system of beams clipped into frames.
In general the beams support the pallet but on occasions the pallet is also supported by timber decking, mesh decking or pallet support bars.
Very Narrow Aisle Racking
Very Narrow Aisle Racking is generally used in warehouses which are a little tighter on space.
Using a narrow aisle Forklift truck allows you to access all pallets, lifting higher and working faster than standard counterbalance trucks.
Drive-in Racking
Drive-in Racking is an ideal system for large quantities of the same type of product. It is a variation to block stacking.
It works on the principle of first in last out so is not particularly good for stock rotation.
Push Back Racking
Push Back Racking systems are designed around the principle of organising space by depth rather than width.
This depth arrangement greatly reduces aisle space and increases storage density.
Shuttle Racking
Shuttle Racking is an alternative to Drive In racking or Live Storage Racking.
The idea is that each lane is a single product but unlike drive in racking not all products within the bay need to be the same thus allowing greater density of storage.
Live Storage Racking
Live Storage Racking is a system where pallets are put onto rollers at one end and they can then run down the rollers to be picked off at the other end.
It is a relatively expensive storage solution but can improve efficiency in many warehouses.
Mobile Pallet Racking
The Mobile Pallet Racking consist of units of conventional pallet racking mounted on a steel framed base.
This system is installed over guided mobile bases that slide laterally, eliminating the need for aisles.
Special Racking
Carpets, carpet pads and rolls of vinyl are inefficiently stored on pallets, which is why carpet racks are a much better storage alternative to maximize your valuable floor space. A system that is good for storing rolled up lengths of material such as carpet.
