Adjustable Racking System
Modular, bolt-together storage racks with fully adjustable beam levels β engineered for medium-to-heavy duty hand and forklift-loaded applications across warehouses, workshops, retail, and industrial environments worldwide.
What Is Adjustable Racking?
A modular, beam-adjustable storage system designed for maximum flexibility β reconfigure shelf heights in minutes to match changing inventory needs.
Adjustable racking is a versatile, beam-adjustable storage system where horizontal load beams clip into slotted or perforated upright frames at variable height intervals β typically every 50mm or 75mm. Unlike fixed welded shelving, every beam level can be repositioned quickly without disassembling the entire unit, giving warehouse managers the freedom to adapt storage configurations as product sizes and inventory mix evolve.
This system bridges the gap between light-duty boltless shelving and heavy-duty pallet racking. With load capacities ranging from 200kg to 800kg per shelf level and heights up to 3000mm, adjustable racks are ideal for hand-loaded and light forklift applications β including pick-and-pack operations, parts storage, retail backrooms, and industrial workshops. The clip-in beam connection makes assembly straightforward while providing far greater structural rigidity than rivet-lock boltless systems.
75mm Adjustment Pitch
Reposition beam levels at fine increments for perfect vertical space utilisation
Clip-In Beam Lock
Beams clip securely into upright slots β no loose bolts, quick to install and reposition
Up to 800kg per Level
Medium-to-heavy duty capacity for cartons, bins, parts, and hand-loaded pallets
Modular Expansion
Add starter and add-on bays for continuous runs β share uprights to save cost
Storage Challenges Solved
Common shelving frustrations that adjustable racking eliminates β turning rigid, wasteful storage into flexible, optimised space.
Wasted Vertical Space
Fixed-height shelves create large gaps above smaller items, wasting 25-40% of available storage volume across the entire system.
β 75mm adjustable pitch eliminates gapsCannot Adapt to Change
When product sizes change or new SKUs arrive, fixed shelving forces expensive replacement or wasteful workarounds.
β Reconfigure beam heights in minutesWeak Structural Integrity
Budget shelving wobbles under load, sags over time, and lacks the rigidity needed for industrial and commercial storage.
β Bolt-together steel frames, 1.5Γ safetyOver-Specified & Expensive
Heavy-duty pallet racking is overkill and overpriced for hand-loaded items weighing 100-800kg per shelf level.
β Right-sized capacity at medium-duty priceComplex Installation
Some industrial shelving requires specialised tools, certified installers, and hours of assembly for each bay.
β Clip-in beams, 15-min bay assemblyLimited Decking Options
Many systems only offer one shelf type, forcing compromises when different products need different shelf surfaces.
β Steel, MDF, wire mesh, chipboard optionsBuilt for Flexibility & Strength
Every component of the adjustable racking system is designed to deliver easy reconfiguration, reliable capacity, and long-term industrial durability.
75mm Beam Adjustment
Beams reposition at 75mm intervals along perforated uprights β optimise every millimetre of vertical space for any product height.
Clip-In Beam Connection
Spring-loaded safety clips lock beams into upright slots with a positive click β secure, vibration-resistant, and tool-free to reposition.
Powder-Coated Finish
60-100ΞΌm electrostatic powder coating in custom RAL colours provides corrosion resistance, scratch protection, and professional aesthetics.
200-800kg per Level
Medium-to-heavy duty capacity bridges the gap between boltless shelving and pallet racking β ideal for cartons, bins, and hand-loaded goods.
Starter + Add-On Bays
Build continuous shelving runs by linking add-on bays that share uprights with the starter β reducing cost and maximising floor space.
Multiple Decking Options
Steel panels, MDF, chipboard, wire mesh, or plywood β choose the shelf surface that matches your product type and environment.
Cross Bracing Included
Diagonal back bracing and optional side bracing provide lateral stability for tall units and seismic-zone installations.
Custom Sizes & Colours
Any dimension from 900-2700mm wide, 300-900mm deep, and 1500-3000mm tall. Any RAL colour with custom branding available.
Adjustable Racking Configurations
Gieantech manufactures a complete range of adjustable racking systems to suit every load type β from hand-picked cartons to forklift-loaded pallets.
Medium Duty Longspan
The most popular adjustable racking type. Wide-span beams (up to 2700mm) with steel or MDF shelf panels support 200-500kg per level for carton and bin storage.
Heavy Duty Adjustable
Thicker gauge uprights and step-beams for 500-800kg per level. Compatible with hand-loading and light forklift operations for heavier parts and bulk goods.
Clip-In Panel Shelving
Fully enclosed steel panel shelves clip directly into upright slots without beams β creating a clean, flush surface ideal for retail, offices, and laboratories.
Multi-Tier Platform
Stack 2-3 levels of adjustable racking with walking platforms and staircases to create a mezzanine-style picking system that triples floor-space utilisation.
Adjustable Cantilever
Height-adjustable cantilever arms for storing long, bulky items like pipes, timber, and steel bars. Arms reposition along perforated columns.
Industrial Workstation
Adjustable racking integrated with workbench tops, tool pegboards, lighting rails, and drawer units β creating ergonomic assembly and packing stations.
System Components
Simple, robust construction from precision-manufactured steel components β designed for decades of reliable service in demanding environments.
Perforated Uprights
C-section or Omega-profile uprights with punched slots at 75mm pitch. 1.5-2.5mm gauge Q235B steel, heights 1500-3000mm.
Load Beams
P-profile or step-profile beams with spring-clip end connectors. Drop into upright slots with a positive lock. Spans 900-2700mm.
Shelf Decking
Steel panels (0.6-1.0mm), MDF boards (18-25mm), chipboard, wire mesh, or plywood. Drop-in installation on beam supports.
Safety Clips
Spring-loaded safety pins prevent accidental beam dislodgement during loading/unloading. One clip per beam end, installed tool-free.
Cross Bracing
Diagonal back bracing provides lateral stability. Optional side bracing for end bays. Bolt-on for easy installation and removal.
Base Plates & Levellers
Bolt-down base plates with adjustable levelling screws for stability on uneven floors. Chemical anchor bolts for concrete floors.
