Pallet Racking in Abu Dhabi and Across the UAE
Selective and double deep pallet racking designed around your pallets, your forklifts and your building – supplied and installed by one team.
PALLET RACKING SYSTEMS
Pallet racking built around how you handle stock
Pallet racking is the backbone of most warehouses in the UAE. It lifts stock off the floor, makes every pallet easier to find and lets you use the full height of your building instead of just the floor area.
At Arabian Rack we design, supply and install pallet racking for warehouses, distribution centres, factories and cold stores in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. We start with your pallet sizes, weights and forklift type, then recommend a layout that fits your stock rather than the other way round.
If you are comparing options, our warehouse racking solutions page covers the wider range, and our team can visit your site to measure and advise.
Why Businesses Choose Pallet Racking
A well-planned racking system pays back every day it is in use.
More Storage per Square Metre
Use the full height of your building and cut the floor space wasted on stacked pallets.
Safer Stock Handling
Pallets sit on defined beam levels, not in unstable floor stacks that can topple or crush stock.
Faster Picking
Clear aisles and labelled locations make it quicker for forklift drivers to find and move stock.
Adjustable Layouts
Beam levels can be moved to suit different pallet heights as your products change.
Built for Daily Use
Steel frames and beams are specified for the loads and the forklift traffic they will actually see.
Easy to Expand
Add bays or levels later as your stock grows, without replacing the whole system.
TYPES OF PALLET RACKING
Choosing the right pallet racking system
The right system depends on how many product lines you hold, how fast stock turns over and how much floor space you have. Here are the two configurations we recommend most often.
Selective pallet racking
Selective racking gives direct access to every pallet, so any item can be picked without moving another. It suits warehouses with many product lines, mixed pallet sizes and regular stock rotation, and it is usually the most economical place to start.
Double deep racking
Double deep racking stores pallets two deep, which removes aisles and raises storage density. It works well when you hold large quantities of the same product and can accept that the front pallet is reached first. It normally needs trucks that can reach into the second position.
Combined with mezzanine levels
Where the building is tall but the footprint is small, pallet racking can be combined with a mezzanine floor to add picking or packing space above your stock.
What we need to design your layout
- Pallet dimensions and maximum weights
- Forklift or reach truck type and minimum aisle width
- Building height, column positions and floor condition
- Stock turnover and the number of product lines
For general guidance on safe storage, the UK Health and Safety Executive publishes Warehousing and storage: a guide to health and safety (HSG76), and the Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association explains why racking inspections matter. After installation, our technical services team can inspect and maintain your system.

FAQ
Pallet Racking - Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can pallet racking hold?
Capacity depends on the beam size, upright frame and bay layout, and every system is designed for a specific load. We calculate this against your actual pallet weights during design and agree the safe working loads with you.
What is the difference between selective and double deep racking?
Selective racking gives access to every pallet. Double deep racking stores two pallets deep to increase density, but only the front pallet is directly accessible.
Do you install pallet racking across the UAE?
Yes. We are based in Abu Dhabi and install racking in all the emirates, including Dubai and Sharjah.
Can I add to my racking later?
Usually, yes. Racking is modular, so extra bays or beam levels can be added as long as the new loads suit the existing frames. We can check this for you.
