Warehouse racking systems from Rapid

We’ve been supplying and fitting industrial racking for more than 40 years, so there’s not much we haven’t seen when it comes to warehouse operations and the challenges you face. Stretched budgets, tighter margins, faster fulfilment, stricter regulation. And the constant need to know exactly where your stock is right now.

Your physical setup matters more than ever—the difference between smooth, scalable workflows and costly inefficiencies. That’s why we’re obsessed with getting it right. And why Rapid systems form the backbone of streamlined storage, logistics and supply chain operations across the country.

More storage. Same footprint.

Also more stock visibility. More safety. More throughput. More revenue per square metre. Whether you’re upgrading your existing facility, relocating or starting from scratch, our racking solutions will keep goods moving safely and smoothly through your site—cutting errors, clearing bottlenecks, and helping your team smash their inventory targets. Explore our range for some of the biggest load capacities in the industry and see how much more you can get from your space:

• Pallet racking

  Your go-to storage hero—available in multiple frame and beam sizes so you can build your setup around pallet type, forklift and handling requirements.

  • manufactured to BS EN 15512 standards
  • load capacities up to 3 tonnes per level
  • choice of powder-coated blue or galvanised finish
• Cantilever racking

  The flexible, space-saving answer to your awkward, heavy load challenges—ideal for long, bulky items like pipes and timber, with a wide choice of heights and arm lengths.

  • built using structural steel compliant with BS EN 1090-1
  • load capacities up to 1250kg per arm
  • additional arms available

We also supply vertical and horizontal sheet racking for flat materials like chipboard and sheet metal, plus vertical racks for long loads like pipes, timber and beading—both widely used across DIY retail and hardware sectors.
