Light Medium Duty Racking

What is a Light Medium Duty Racking System?

A Light Medium Duty Racking System is an efficient storage solution designed to optimize space and manage inventory in small to medium-sized warehouses. With a load capacity ranging from 50kg to 1,000kg per tier, these racks are constructed from galvanized or powder-coated steel, ensuring durability and rust resistance.

Light-duty racking systems are commonly made from galvanized steel, metal, featuring a simple design that is easy to assemble and relocate. Thanks to their flexible structure, these racks allow users to quickly arrange and adjust storage configurations as needed. In contrast, medium-duty racking is specifically designed to accommodate goods with greater weight and size, making it well-suited for environments that require higher load-bearing capacity.

Featuring a modular design, they are easy to assemble and disassemble using bolts, making them ideal for storing a variety of goods, including cartons, small components, documents, or display products in retail and fashion warehouses.

Eurorack’s light and medium-duty racking systems serve a wide range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, document storage, and fashion. With their flexible design and cost-effective pricing, they are an ideal choice for small and medium-sized businesses or for storing goods that are not excessively heavy, aiming to optimize storage space efficiently.
