Canada-wide parts + carton storage
Industrial shelving built around active inventory
Organize cartons, parts, tools, components, and bulk items with a shelving system matched to the inventory, shelf loads, access method, available space, and future expansion.
Shelving configurations
Match the format to the operation
Shelving ranges from adjustable manual-pick bays to high-bay and multi-level installations. The right starting point depends on the inventory, access pattern, loads, and available building volume.
01 / Adjustable storage Interlock Boltless Shelving
Modular shelving for accessible cartons, bins, parts, tools, and changing inventory profiles.
02 / Vertical expansion Multi-Level Shelving
Multiple working levels coordinated around stairs, walkways, picking routes, and replenishment flow.
03 / Clear-height use High-Bay Shelving
Tall shelving layouts that use available clear height while accounting for the required access method.
04 / Bulky hand-loaded items E-Series Widespan
Wider, deeper shelf openings for larger cartons, components, and other bulky manually handled items.
05 / Small-item control Modular Drawer Systems
Compartmentalized storage integrated with shelving for tools, hardware, parts, and controlled inventory.
06 / Flexible layouts Slotted Angle Shelving
Adaptable framed shelving for organized light- and medium-duty storage in varied layouts.
Before the first upright is placed
The inventory defines the shelf
Start with the largest and heaviest stored items, then account for the full inventory mix, access method, working clearances, and likely changes. Final configuration and capacity require project-specific review.
Review design + layout support- 01
Inventory
Item types, cartons or bins, dimensions, quantities, variation, and stock organization.
- 02
Loads
Maximum shelf load, distribution across the shelf, concentrated loads, and shelf surface.
- 03
Access
Manual picking, carts, ladders, order-picking equipment, replenishment, and pick frequency.
- 04
Space

- 05
Change
Future inventory, added bays or levels, reconfiguration, relocation, and operational timing.
Where shelving fits
Accessible storage for item-level operations
Industrial shelving supports organized picking and replenishment where inventory is handled as individual items, cartons, bins, or components. It can also be coordinated with pallet storage, modular drawers, mezzanines, and multi-level platforms.

→Frequently asked questions
Planning an industrial shelving project
Start with the inventory and site. The remaining system details can be narrowed during project review.
What is boltless industrial shelving?
Boltless shelving is a modular storage format that assembles without traditional nuts and bolts, allowing relatively fast installation and shelf adjustment. The selected system still needs to suit the stored items, loads, layout, and operating environment.
How much weight can industrial shelving support?
There is no single capacity for all industrial shelving. Capacity depends on the system, bay dimensions, shelf surface, load distribution, configuration, condition, and application. Final capacity must be confirmed for the project-specific system.
Can an industrial shelving system be expanded later?
Many modular shelving systems can be expanded or reconfigured, subject to available space, component compatibility, system condition, inventory changes, and current project requirements. Future expansion should be considered during initial planning.
Is shelving suitable for multi-level applications?
Industrial shelving can be integrated into multi-level platforms and mezzanine-supported layouts. Structure, stairs, guardrails, access, egress, fire protection, material flow, and applicable review requirements must be coordinated for the specific facility.
What is the difference between shelving and pallet racking?
Shelving is commonly used for manually accessed items, cartons, bins, tools, and components. Pallet racking is generally organized around palletized loads and lift-truck handling. Some facilities use both formats in a coordinated layout.
What information is needed for a shelving quote?
Provide the facility city, item or container dimensions, heaviest shelf loads, quantities, desired access, available footprint and clear height, photos or drawings, and target timing. If some details are missing, send what is available.
Have an inventory list, drawing, or just site photos?
Start with what you know
Send the available inventory and site details. Pac Rac can identify the next questions before the shelving system is configured.
