Mobile Racking for High‑Density Pallet Storage
Mobile racking eliminates wasted aisles by placing pallet racks on powered or mechanical carriages that open only where you need to work. The result is a safer, high‑density solution that can double pallet capacity in the same footprint while preserving full selectivity. From freezers to distribution centers and 3PLs, our engineers design mobile racking systems around your loads, workflows, and budget—including rail layouts, controls, and safety features.

Understanding Mobile Racking
Mobile racking increases storage capacity by removing fixed aisles. Pallet racks are mounted on mobile carriages that move along floor tracks, so only one aisle is open at a time. This design can double storage in the same footprint while keeping aisles forklift-accessible for loading and retrieval.
This mobile racking helps facilities store more without building expansions. They improve organization, reduce travel time, and keep pallets secure. Compact Pallet Racking is suitable for raw materials, finished goods, or seasonal items. Compact pallet racks provide heavy-duty strength and adapt to changing storage needs.
Mobile racking benefits include:
- Mobile carriages eliminate fixed aisles to increase storage density by near 100%
- Heavy-duty steel construction supports full pallet loads
- Compatible with existing pallet racking uprights and beams
- Easy aisle access for forklifts and material handling equipment
- Configurable layouts to match facility needs
- Scalable design for future capacity expansion
Benefits of Mobile Pallet Racking Systems
These systems help facilities reduce the footprint required for pallet storage or double their capacity within the same space. Mobile racking is ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and cold storage areas where space is limited but inventory accessibility is still critical.
Features Include:
- Doubles storage density
- Preserves 100% pallet selectivity
- Maximizes use of existing space
- Reduces new construction costs
- Increases operational efficiency
Powered & Mechanical Mobile Pallet Racking
Systems are available with either mechanical-assist or powered movement. Mechanical systems use ergonomic hand cranks to shift carriages, while powered systems use push-button or touchpad controls for advanced automation, motion sensing, and remote operation.
Features Include:- Mechanical-assist or powered controls
- Low-effort, ergonomic carriage movement
- Optional safety sensors and soft start/stop features
- Auto-aisle open and park settings
- Touchpad, keypad, or remote access
High-Capacity Storage in Cold Rooms & Industrial Zones
High-density pallet racking can be used in environments such as coolers, freezers, clean rooms, or secure inventory zones. Components can be ordered with finishes and seals rated for extreme temperatures and conditions to maintain performance and safety.
Features include:
- Rated for -20°F freezer environments
- Moisture- and corrosion-resistant finishes
- Smooth operation on sealed rail systems
- Secure and tamper-resistant configurations
- Ideal for food, pharma, and cold chain facilities
Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile pallet racks eliminate fixed aisles and allow you to double your storage capacity in the same footprint. They also maintain 100% access to stored pallets.
Yes. Most standard pallet racks can be mounted onto mobile carriages, making it easy to convert a static system into high-density mobile storage.
Yes. Mobile pallet racks include built-in safety features like in-aisle sensors, emergency stops, and soft start/stop controls to protect workers and equipment.
Absolutely. Components can be finished with moisture- and freezer-rated coatings, and systems are designed to perform in temperatures down to -20°F.
You can choose mechanical-assist handles for manual movement or fully powered controls with touchpads, remote access, and programmable settings.
Yes. Mobile pallet racking systems are modular and scalable. You can expand by adding more carriages, shelving, or tracks as your storage needs grow.
