Calculated storage. Smartly used space.
WHAT ARE INDUSTRIAL SHELVING SYSTEMS?
Industrial shelving systems are professional storage solutions designed for pallets, bulky goods, packaged products, long materials, or high-turnover stock. Unlike simple shelves, these are calculated based on weight, height, forklift access, available space, and the actual workflow in the warehouse.
HOW DOES IT HELP IN A WAREHOUSE?
A well-chosen shelving system allows for efficient use of vertical space, quick access to goods, clearer circulation for forklifts and pallet trucks, and a safer warehouse organisation. Whether you need compact storage, direct access to each pallet, or a Cash&Carry area, the configuration must be adapted exactly to your activity.
SYSTEMS AVAILABLE TO ORDER
HandlerKraft offers pallet racking systems, Drive-In, Cantilever, Mezzanine, Cash&Carry and shelving racks. Each project is individually configured according to space dimensions, type of goods, load capacity, number of levels and method of handling with warehouse equipment.
Shelves for any industrial need and weight.
Industrial racking systems in Moldova – 6 types, designed to order
HandlerKraft designs and installs industrial racking systems for warehouses, halls and logistics centres in Moldova: pallet racking, Drive-In, Cash&Carry, cantilever, shelf-type racking and mezzanine platforms. Each system is configured to the space, load, workflow and warehouse equipment — from halls with 4 to 12+ metres of clear height for pallet racking, to shelves rated at 150–600+ kg and platforms rated at 300–1,000+ kg/m². They suit logistics and distribution warehouses, 3PL operators, the food and cold-storage industry, wholesale stores, and depots for pipes and metal profiles, timber and building materials.
The range covers 6 types of system, each configured per project with no fixed price: the cost is calculated from the hall dimensions, the number of levels and the load, so prices are on request. Send us the dimensions and the type of goods and you receive a personalised quote within 24 hours. Pallet racking is not the same thing as light metal shelving or retail shelving for shop display — they are separate categories.
Types of industrial racking systems
All 6 types, grouped by the goods stored. Click a system for the full description. Light metal shelving and retail shelving are in the Metal Shelving and Retail Shelving categories.
| System | Goods | Access / equipment | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selective pallet racking | Pallets, direct access to each | Counterbalance, reach truck, order picker | Palletised |
| Drive-In | Homogeneous, slow-moving goods | Counterbalance truck in the lane | Palletised |
| Cash&Carry | Pallets and wholesale display | Reach truck or forklift | Palletised |
| Cantilever | Pipes, profiles, timber, panels | Forklift or manual | Non-palletised |
| Shelf-type | Boxes, parts, archives | Manual, no pallets | Non-palletised |
| Mezzanine | Stock, picking, offices upstairs | Industrial stairs | Non-palletised |
How to choose the right racking system
01Type of goods
Pallets go on pallet racking, Drive-In or Cash&Carry. Boxes, parts and archives belong on shelf-type racking, while pipes, profiles, timber and panels go on cantilever racking, which has no front posts to block loading.
02Density or selective access
Selective racking gives direct access to every pallet, with full FIFO. Drive-In holds up to 80–85% more on the same floor area, but it suits homogeneous or slow-moving goods, including cold stores: LIFO logic, or FIFO with access from both ends (Drive-Through). Lane depth is 3–10+ pallets.
03Hall height and equipment
Pallet racking works in halls with 4 to 12+ m of clear height, with a counterbalance truck, reach truck or order picker. Cash&Carry needs at least 5–6 m and an aisle of at least 3.5 m, and Drive-In needs a standard counterbalance truck (outer aisle ~3.5 m). Choose the equipment together with the racking: see electric forklifts and reach trucks.
04Extra floor area
If the hall has height but no floor space left, a mezzanine creates a technical floor for storage, picking or offices, rated at 300–1,000+ kg/m², with no new foundations and no building extension. Installation takes 5–15 working days, without interrupting activity in the hall.
Design, installation and warehouse equipment
Every project starts with on-site measurements: the HandlerKraft team proposes the configuration, delivers and handles installation. The racking and the equipment that serves it can be chosen together so that lift height and aisle width match — in one completed project we supplied both the pallet racking and the reach truck.
Frequently asked questions about industrial racking
How much does an industrial racking system cost in Moldova?
+
Racking systems are configured per project and have no fixed price: the cost depends on the hall dimensions, the number of levels, the load per level and the type of system — for cantilever racking, for example, the price is calculated individually for each project. Call 022 788 907 or send the dimensions and the type of goods for a personalised quote within 24 hours.
Selective racking or Drive-In?
+
Selective, if you need to take out any pallet without moving others — direct access and full FIFO. Drive-In, if you store large batches of the same goods, or slow-moving goods, on a small floor area: the forklift drives into the rack lane, and up to 80–85% more pallets fit on the same floor area than with selective racking. Drive-In works on LIFO logic; with access from both ends (Drive-Through) it becomes FIFO.
What is the difference between industrial racking and metal shelving?
+
They are different categories. The systems on this page are designed around the space, the load and the equipment, for pallets, long materials or technical floors. Light metal shelving and Profi Lux, for a small warehouse, garage, archive or workshop, are in Metal Shelving, and shelves for displaying goods in a shop are in Retail Shelving.
What hall height is required?
+
Pallet racking works in halls from 4 to 12+ m of clear height. Cash&Carry needs at least 5–6 m of clear height and an aisle of at least 3.5 m, and for Drive-In the outer aisle is ~3.5 m. If the hall has height but little floor space, a mezzanine platform adds a floor.
Do you install the racking?
+
Yes. The HandlerKraft team takes the measurements on site, proposes the configuration and handles installation. For a mezzanine platform, installation takes 5–15 working days, without interrupting activity in the hall.
How does delivery work?
+
Delivery and installation are carried out across Moldova. The lead time and cost are confirmed in the quote, depending on the project.
