Logistic racks · 3PL · E-commerce
Warehouse & logistics racking that keeps orders moving.
Pick faces at the right height, aisles that suit your trolleys, and 400kg boltless bays that can be re-laid when your SKU mix changes — planned from your warehouse floor plan.
- Layouts built around pick paths and packing stations
- 400kg per level for carton and each-picking
- Relocatable when you move or expand
The challenge
Space is rent. Walking is wages.
Industrial rent in Singapore is charged by the square foot, and a picker's day is mostly spent walking. A good racking layout attacks both: it uses the full clear height of the unit and puts the fastest-moving stock on the shortest path to the packing bench.
Most of the warehouses we fit out — third-party logistics, e-commerce sellers, distributors and importers — are carton and each-pick operations rather than forklift pallet stores. For them, medium-duty longspan shelving like our warehouse rack is faster to pick from, cheaper per location and far easier to change than pallet racking.

How we plan a logistics layout
Five rules we draw into every warehouse plan
Map the flow first
Goods-in, storage, picking, packing, dispatch. Racks follow the flow so stock never doubles back across the floor.
Size aisles for your equipment
100–120cm for trolleys, around 180cm where a pallet jack turns. Main aisles and exits stay wider and clear.
Slot by velocity
Fast movers at waist height near packing; bulk and overflow on top levels and at the far end.
Use the clear height
240cm frames add a level in the same footprint — often the cheapest square footage in the building.
Leave room to grow
Runs are planned so extra bays clip on at the end without moving anything already loaded.

Questions
Logistics racking questions
What aisle width do I need for a logistics warehouse?
For hand picking with a trolley, plan 100–120cm between facing racks. Where a manual pallet jack has to turn into the aisle, allow around 180cm or more. Main cross-aisles and fire-escape routes should be wider and kept clear. We mark all of this on the layout when you send a floor plan through the free quote form.
Is boltless shelving strong enough for a 3PL warehouse?
For carton and each-picking, yes — our warehouse rack carries 400kg per level, so a five-level bay holds up to two tonnes of stock. It is not designed for forklift-loaded pallets; that needs selective pallet racking, which we compare in industrial rack types explained.
How should I organise SKUs on logistic racks?
Put your fastest-moving 20% of SKUs in the "golden zone" between knee and shoulder height, closest to packing. Heavy items go low, slow movers and overflow go high. Label every bay and level with a location code so pickers and your WMS share one address system.
Can racking be relocated when our lease ends?
Yes — that is one of the main reasons logistics firms choose boltless racks. The bays come apart without tools and go up again at the new site. We can dismantle, move and re-install for you; ask when you request a quote.
Do you work in JTC and industrial estate buildings?
Regularly. We deliver through loading bays and cargo lifts across industrial estates. Tell us the building, the lift size and any booking rules, and we will schedule around them. Details are in the delivery policy.
