Electric Counterbalance Forklifts
Smart Racking Solution for High-density Storage.
Mobile Pallet Racking Overview.
Mobile pallet racking is a high-density storage solution designed to maximise warehouse capacity by eliminating unnecessary aisles. Instead of fixed rows, the racking is installed on mobile bases that move along floor-mounted rails, opening only the aisle required at any one time. This dramatically increases storage density while still maintaining full access to every pallet.
Perfect for warehouses where space is limited or square footage is expensive, mobile racking provides an intelligent, efficient and safe way to scale your pallet storage without relocating or expanding your facility.
At Global Materials Handling, we design and supply mobile racking systems tailored to your building layout, pallet sizes, stock profile and handling equipment. Our solutions improve efficiency, compliance and return on space for a wide range of industries.

Key Features & Benefits.
Up to 80% more storage capacity: Reduce aisle space and unlock significantly higher pallet density without increasing footprint.
Full access to every pallet: Unlike drive-in systems, mobile racking maintains selectivity for fast-moving SKUs.
Ideal for cold stores and high-cost warehousing: Maximising every cubic metre helps reduce energy consumption and storage costs.
Integrated safety and control systems: Photo-cells, aisle sensors, emergency stops and locking systems ensure safe operation.
Compatible with standard forklifts: Designed for reach trucks, counterbalance trucks and VNA equipment.
Tailored to Your Operation.
Every mobile racking installation begins with a detailed analysis of your warehouse, including:
- Stock turnover and SKU profile
- Available floor and roof height
- Existing forklift fleet
- Operational flow and picking requirements
From this, we design a bespoke mobile racking layout that improves productivity, reduces travel time and increases pallet capacity.
Global Materials Handling also provides ongoing inspections, servicing and maintenance to keep your system operating safely and efficiently.
