Heavy Duty Racking

The heavy-duty rack is store shelving positioned in the heavy load category — indicatively 200 to 400 kg per level, where a standard gondola covers medium-duty — and engineered to accept half-pallets directly in the aisle. It is the go-to solution for hardware superstores and merchants selling heavy tools, building materials and bulky goods in self-service.

Frequently asked questions

What is a heavy-duty store rack?

It is retail racking in the heavy load category (indicatively 200 to 400 kg per level), where a standard gondola covers medium-duty (indicatively 80 to 200 kg). It lets you sell heavy goods in self-service: cement bags, tiles, bulky tools.

How does it differ from a standard gondola?

The heavy-duty rack uses reinforced profiles and thick steel shelves, accepts half-pallets directly in the aisle and rises up to 3 m. The standard gondola favors modularity and display accessories.

Can pallets go into a heavy-duty rack?

Yes, low levels accept half-pallets and Euro pallets, allowing direct pallet-truck restocking without box-by-box handling. Upper levels stay as shelves for customer picking.

What products suit a heavy-duty rack?

Cement and mortar bags, tiles, timber, mixers, compressors, generators: any heavy or bulky product sold in self-service in hardware superstores and builders’ merchants.

Is there a version for outdoor areas?

Yes, a galvanized finish is available for material yards and covered outdoor areas, resistant to moisture and handling impacts.
