Bulk Storage Racking Fundamentals
Bulk storage racking systems are engineered to store large volumes of non-palletized or oversized inventory. From wide-span bulk shelving to heavy-duty drive-in systems, bulk racking maximizes cubic space utilization while accommodating heavy totes and unpalleted cases.
Without proper bulk storage planning, facilities suffer from floor clutter and excessive double-handling of goods. Learn more about high-density options in our drive-in racking system guide.
Wide-Span vs. Pallet Racking Integration
Wide-span bulk racks bridge the gap between light shelving and heavy pallet racks. Compare full pallet setups in our pallet racking system overview or read about industrial storage racks.
Regulatory Compliance
Design wide-span bulk layouts in compliance with RMI Industrial Steel Storage Standards and OSHA General Material Handling Standards.
