Medium-Duty Shelving (AR LS)
A heavy-duty manual system designed for loose cartons, bins, and medium-to-large non-palletized items. Beam levels adjust every 50 mm (2 inches) with drop-in galvanized panels or particle boards.
High-density picking shelving, multi-tier walkways, and gravity live storage engineered for rapid manual fulfillment, e-commerce, and industrial parts distribution.
AR Racking Industrial Storage Solutions Co., Ltd. designs, manufactures, and installs high-performance manual picking solutions tailored to non-homogeneous loads, variable carton sizes, and high SKU counts. Every configuration optimizes clear height, accelerates fulfillment cycles, and maximizes worker safety.
A heavy-duty manual system designed for loose cartons, bins, and medium-to-large non-palletized items. Beam levels adjust every 50 mm (2 inches) with drop-in galvanized panels or particle boards.
Multi-level walkway modules that exploit vertical warehouse height by using rack frames as the building block for 2 to 5 intermediate floor levels, multiplying active picking area without building expansion.
Gravity-driven roller tracks that automatically present cartons at the front pick face. Strictly separates loading and retrieval aisles for continuous fulfillment without restocking interference.
Select the right manual storage structure based on SKU density, turnover frequency, facility clear height, and ergonomic handling objectives.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium-Duty Shelving (AR LS) | Up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) | Flexible | Up to 5 m single-bay | Industrial parts, hardware, bulky retail boxes, mixed-SKU distribution |
| Multi-Tier Raised Walkways | Up to 800 kg per shelf + floor live loads | ABC Categorized | Up to 12 m (2–5 tiers) | E-commerce fulfillment centers, fashion retail, archival records, automotive parts |
| Carton Flow Live Storage | Up to 250 kg per lane | Strict FIFO | Multi-level or under pallet rack | Fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, assembly buffer lines |
Built with high-yield European structural steel, our picking systems combine robust physical strength with rapid modular adjustment to adapt to evolving inventory demands.
Optimized cold-rolled uprights and step beams support concentrated unit weights up to 1,000 kg, providing exceptional safety margins under high-frequency manual picking.
Interlocking connectors allow rapid assembly and height reconfigurations every 50 mm without welding, cutting downtime during layout reorganizations.
Comprehensive accessories including galvanized shelf pans, wire mesh decking, vertical dividers, hanging garment rails, and drop-prevention backstops.
Easily integrated below heavy-duty selective pallet racking or push-back systems, maximizing ground-level manual picks with reserve bulk pallet storage directly overhead.
Procurement teams choose AR Racking Industrial Storage Solutions Co., Ltd. because every rack profile is validated by academic laboratory research and certified manufacturing standards.
All picking components are manufactured in our 35,000 m² state-of-the-art facility featuring continuous roll-forming lines, automated laser profiling, and robotic welding cells.
Uniform component tolerances eliminate structural imbalances and guarantee rapid, error-free on-site assembly, even in complex multi-tier projects.
Our dedicated Technology Center works in close partnership with prestigious engineering universities to continually push safety, deflection limits, and steel efficiency forward.
At the AR Lab (developed with Mondragon University), physical structural components undergo destructive and cyclic stress testing. In tandem, our Research Classroom with the University of the Basque Country conducts finite-element mathematical simulations to model seismic resilience and static load dynamics.
Independent certifications authenticate that every design calculation, weld, and production batch meets or exceeds global industrial standards.

“We chose AR Racking because of their proven engineering adaptability and product durability. Their multi-tier shelving allowed us to triple our manual storage volume while keeping personnel safe and organized.”
Answers to key structural, capacity, and operational questions asked by warehouse engineers and procurement officers.
Our medium-duty picking shelving (AR LS) is engineered to safely accommodate unit loads up to 1,000 kg (approx. 2,200 lbs) per shelf level. The system utilizes heavy-gauge steel uprights and step beams with adjustable cross-ties to prevent beam deflection and ensure long-term structural integrity under demanding industrial loads.
In a multi-tier shelving system (AR Multi-Tier), the upright frames of the shelving racks themselves provide the structural support for intermediate walkways, stair towers, and higher tier levels. Conversely, a structural mezzanine consists of an open steel platform built over heavy structural columns. Multi-tier shelving delivers far higher storage capacity per cubic meter and lower overall civil investment for high-density, hand-loaded inventory.
Carton Flow features slightly inclined roller tracks that use gravity to glide cartons from the rear replenishment aisle forward to the picking aisle. This physical separation prevents traffic bottlenecks, enforces strict FIFO (First-In, First-Out) rotation, and reduces picker walking distances by up to 70%. It is fully compatible with Pick-to-Light electronic fulfillment systems.
Yes. Both static picking shelves and Carton Flow live roller beds can be integrated seamlessly into the lower bays of standard selective pallet racking. This hybrid configuration allows warehouse operators to fulfill split-case or carton orders on the floor level while utilizing overhead space for full pallet reserve replenishment.
We supply three main decking options based on project requirements: pre-galvanized drop-in steel panels for washdown, chemical, and fire resistance; wire mesh decking for optimized overhead sprinkler water penetration; and heavy-duty industrial chipboard panels with steel cross-tie reinforcements for general warehousing.
Our picking solutions are produced under audited quality management standards including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, UNE EN ISO 3834-2, and EN 1090-1. Every system includes our comprehensive 5-year quality warranty covering all structural parts.
