While pallet racking is often the bread and butter of efficient warehouse operations, warehouse accessories work hard to keep the entire system running smoothly.

When it comes to working in a warehouse daily, there are many different accessories that we rely on sometimes without even thinking about it. That’s why warehouse accessories are essential for operations.

Items such as plastic storage boxes, ladders, support bars, and load notice play such a vital part in day to day operations which makes them indispensable.

The Importance of Warehouse Accessories

Choosing the right warehouse accessories will help you save valuable time and money and prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. 

Without the best equipment to elevate your processes to the next level, daily operations may result in problems that could otherwise be avoided.

At Advanced Handling & Storage we have put together a list of the most essential warehouse items to accessorise your storage system with.

Storage Equipment

Plastic storage boxes, tote boxes, parts bins and shelving will help you fully maximise your space and become as efficient as possible.

Adequate storage equipment will help your staff to be able to locate the stock they need efficiently and quickly. Your inventory will be much easier to manage, which will help minimise stock loss.

Anti-Collapse Screens

Anti-collapse screens are an optional safety feature and are designed to prevent pallets or small items falling onto pedestrians as they pass by. 

They are a fantastic preventative measure for your pallet racking storage system to avoid unnecessary accidents and improve safety.

Chipboard Decking

Chipboard decking is best used on lower picking and packing levels. It is used most often to form beam levels into a shelf configuration. This helps to make space for heavier products that aren’t always practical for higher shelving locations.

Floor Fixings

Floor fixings fix your frames to the floor and secure them, which makes for improved safety. When unloading or loading machine equipment in your warehouse, your storage system should be attached to the floor slab for safety reasons.

Load Notices

Having load notices present in your warehouse is essential for health and safety. These notices display the load capacity for each frame and beam in your warehouse to ensure warehouse operatives don’t exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Locking Pins

Locking pins are designed to go into the beam and are a preventative feature. Locking pins are also required by health and safety to prevent the beam from dislodging from the frame. 

We supply the correct beam lock for each system and the correct amount with every project we carry out at Advanced Handling & Storage.

Mesh Decks

Mesh decks are an alternative to traditional chipboard decking and timber decking. It is ideal for use in food factories and warehouses due to its hygiene suitability and is often favoured by insurance companies because it is more robust and resistant to fire. 

Safety Barriers

Safety barriers are essential for every operating warehouse. They help reduce the risk of downtime for your business and prevent injury and accidents. To help improve the safety of your warehouse, we have both new and second-hand safety barriers available. 

Safety Inspections

At Advanced Handling & Storage, we provide thorough pallet racking inspections for your warehouse to ensure you are clued up on all aspects of pallet racking safety. A SEMA-approved racking inspector will carry out this inspection.
