Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Furniture Racks | Warehouse Shelving & Racking

What’s the difference between warehouse racking and warehouse shelving?

Warehouse racking is typically used for palletised goods and heavier stock, while shelving is ideal for smaller items, tools and manual picking. AJ Products UK offers both - helping you tailor storage to your operation’s needs.

Can I mix warehouse racks and shelving in the same storage area?

Yes, our modular warehouse storage shelves and rack systems can be combined to create a balanced layout. You can store bulk stock on racks and use nearby shelving for smaller components or fast-moving goods.

How do warehouse shelving racks support better organisation?

Warehouse shelving racks allow you to separate stock by type, size or frequency of use. Adjustable levels and clear visibility make it easier to locate items quickly and keep your storage system efficient.


Are AJ Products UK’s warehouse shelves suitable for heavy items?

Absolutely. Our warehouse storage shelves are built from powder-coated steel and come with reinforced frames and shelf panels, making them suitable for storing boxes, tools and industrial equipment.

Warehouse racking built for adaptable, high-capacity storage across commercial and industrial spaces

From busy fulfilment centres to compact maintenance bays, every workspace needs structured storage to stay efficient. AJ Products UK offers warehouse racking systems that maximise vertical space, improve access to stock, and support growing operations. Whether you're storing cartons, components or large equipment, our heavy-duty racking helps teams reduce clutter, speed up workflows and stay in control of their inventory.

General-purpose shelving and racking systems for day-to-day stock management

For light- to medium-duty storage, our general-purpose shelving and racking systems provide a flexible and durable setup for boxed goods, consumables, and workshop tools. Adjustable shelf levels let you reconfigure the layout as stock changes, while open-sided frames make picking faster and more efficient. These units are ideal for order picking, backroom organisation, or assembly stations across a wide range of sectors. Many warehouse teams also add packing tables nearby to create defined zones for sorting, packing and fulfilment—cutting down time between storage and dispatch.

Heavy-duty warehouse shelving racks for bulk goods and oversized stock

For larger or heavier items, warehouse shelving racks offer the strength and stability required to handle demanding loads. Made from powder-coated steel with reinforced shelf panels, these units can carry 150–500 kg per level, depending on model. They're a go-to solution for industrial warehouses, production facilities and distribution centres managing high volumes of stock. To keep your racking performing long-term, many operations also use pallet racking accessories like support bars, mesh decks and upright protectors to boost safety and durability.

Compact racking shelves for smaller storage areas and mobile setups

Not all spaces need full-scale racking. Our small racking shelves offer compact, efficient storage for parts, tools or smaller stock—perfect for under-bench areas, mobile workstations or tight storerooms. Lightweight yet robust, these shelves help keep workspaces organised without taking up valuable floor space. To maintain flexibility across departments, many customers pair these shelves with shelf trolleys—allowing teams to transport items safely between storage, work zones and service areas.

Warehouse furniture racks and oversized storage systems for bulky goods

Some items just don’t fit standard racking. For bulky or awkward stock like furniture, panels or boxed equipment, our furniture racks and extra-wide warehouse shelves provide the clearance and adjustability needed. Open-frame designs accommodate wider loads and allow for forklift access or manual retrieval without obstruction. For a complete layout, we recommend expanding your set up with shelving systems to handle smaller stock types and maintain a consistent storage format across departments.
