Best Cold Room Shelving for Warehouses

Optimising Cold Room Shelving with Krost Shelving and Racking Solutions

Practical cold room shelving is fundamental for businesses dealing with temperature-sensitive products. Selecting the right shelving and racking systems can significantly impact storage capacity, product integrity, and operational efficiency. Krost Shelving & Racking offers a comprehensive range of durable and customisable solutions designed specifically for cold environments. Businesses can maximise space, maintain optimal temperatures, and ensure the longevity of their stored goods by integrating Krost’s products.

Structural Steel for Cold Storage Racking

It’s essential to consider the impact of low temperatures on the steelWhen choosing racking materials for cold storage. Researchers report that food safety environments require storage temperatures from 0°C to 15°C, making racking more susceptible to impact damage.

Structural Steel Racking is fitting for coolers and freezers that use vehicles for product access. Structural steel offers the best heavy-duty shelving for industrial storage with greater frame strength. It can better withstand accidental impacts from forklifts or other equipment. We provide robust structural steel options for heavy-duty cold storage applications.

Cold Room Shelving and Racking Options from Krost

Krost offers a variety of pallet racking types to suit diverse operational needs.

Selective Pallet Racking

Selective pallet racking is ideal warehouses and distribution centers requiring continuous product circulation and access to all palletised items simultaneously. It is suitable for storing retail products, food, beverages, and reserve storage–pallets are loaded and unloaded from the front using lift trucks, providing direct access to each pallet without needing to move others. This is the most common racking type, offering high selectivity with lower density.

Pallet Shuttle Racking

Pallet flow racking is great for storage of frozen or chilled products and materials of varying sizes. It is best suited for high-quality pallets. It is designed for high-volume inventory movement on pallets, using inclined rollers or wheels to allow cartons to glide from the loading aisle to the picking aisle. Pallet shuttle racking offers excellent volume utilisation, high selectivity, increased density, and can be combined with other rack types to create a pick module.

Carton Live (Flow) Racking

Carton live racking is suitable for high-volume case-pick and piece-pick operations, especially for frozen or chilled products. It’s similar to pallet shuttle racking but is designed for individual cartons or cases, improving picking efficiency. This system is extremely customisable, provides high-density storage, and decreases pick times.

Drive-In Rack

Drive-in racks are optimal when storing large quantities of homogeneous products with long lifespans or those requiring large, one-time moves. Lift trucks enter the system from the front to load and unload pallets. These racks eliminate the need for down-aisle picking aisles, offering higher density than drive-through racks with lower selectivity. They are suitable for cooler or freezer storage.

Drive-Through Rack

Drive-through racking is perfect for warehouses needing continuous product circulation and access to all palletised items simultaneously, and mainly for retail products, food, and beverages. Lift trucks can enter through both ends of the system for loading and unloading, requiring an additional aisle. This system eradicates down-aisle picking aisles, is easily deconstructed and reconfigured, and provides high-density storage.

Push Back Rack

Push back racks excel with storage of frozen or chilled products in depths of 2-6 pallets. They utilise carts that move along inclined rails, maximising warehouse cube space and lowering aisle space. These structures offer high-density storage, allow access to multiple groups of SKUs simultaneously, and provide more efficient picks.

High-Density Storage with Cold Pallet Racking

Krost’s cold storage pallet racking is a high-density solution that curtails wasted space for businesses managing large volumes of stock. You can store more products in the same footprint by integrating compact racking systems such as drive-in racks and mobile pallet racks in your warehouse. This approach boosts productivity and guarantees quick access to stored inventory, making it an excellent choice for temperature-sensitive environments.

Customisable Shelving for Fitted Cold Storage Solutions

Customisable shelving solutions provide the capacity to fully utilise your storage space with cold rooms predominantly limited by size. We offer shelving that can be adjusted with variations in height, width, and depth to fit different inventory demands. Benefits of these adaptable shelf units include:

• Well-organised and accessible storage.
