Racking Supplier in Penang for Industrial and Commercial Storage
SKL Metal Systems is a racking supplier based in Butterworth, Penang, supporting warehouses, factories, workshops, offices and commercial premises with industrial and storage-system requirements. Established in 2007, our range includes pallet racking, heavy-duty storage, multi-tier systems, cantilever racking, commercial shelving, steel structure platforms and racking accessories.
Our work begins with understanding what the customer needs to store, how the goods are handled and how the available space operates. Depending on the project, our support may include site measurement, storage-requirement review, system and layout direction, supply, installation, handover and maintenance.
You do not need to select a rack model before contacting us. Warehouse dimensions, stored-item sizes, loads, SKU profile, access requirements and handling equipment provide a more useful starting point for identifying the appropriate direction.
Racking and Storage Products Available from SKL
Different storage requirements call for different systems. Pallet accessibility, load type, handling method, available height and the way stock moves through the premises should be considered before the layout is finalised.
Industrial Pallet Racking Systems
Selective Pallet Racking
Selective pallet racking is used when direct access to individual pallet positions is important. It is commonly assessed for warehouses with multiple SKUs, frequent pallet movement and changing pallet heights.
Pallet dimensions, loaded height, pallet weight, rack height, aisle requirements and forklift operation should be confirmed before the configuration is determined.
View Selective Pallet RackingDouble-Deep Pallet Racking
Double-deep pallet racking stores pallets two positions deep. It can be considered when greater pallet density is required and direct access to every individual position is not essential.
SKU quantities, pallets per SKU, access requirements and the availability of suitable reach equipment should be reviewed before choosing this direction.
View Double-Deep Pallet RackingDrive-In Racking
Drive-in racking provides a high-density storage direction for operations with fewer SKUs and larger quantities of similar palletised goods. The forklift enters the rack lane, and the system operates with a common entry and exit.
Pallet consistency, lane depth, stock rotation, equipment dimensions and operating clearance therefore need to be considered as part of the layout.

Heavy-Duty and Multi-Level Storage
Heavy Duty Storage Racking
Heavy-duty storage racking is intended for large, heavy, bulky or awkward goods requiring organised shelf-level storage. It should not automatically be treated as pallet storage simply because the structure is heavy duty.
The appropriate arrangement depends on item dimensions, maximum intended loading, shelf configuration, handling method and the access required for daily operations.

Multi-tier racking uses available building height to create additional accessible storage levels. It can suit small-to-medium goods where manual picking and organised storage are required across more than one tier.
SKL's multi-tier system can incorporate components such as staircases, handrails and safety gates. Access, replenishment routes and the working process should be considered during planning.

Specialised Long-Material Storage
Cantilever Racking System
Cantilever racking provides open-front storage for pipes, tubing, timber, profiles and other long or bulky materials. SKL offers single-sided and double-sided configurations with adjustable arms.
Material length, weight distribution, arm spacing, access direction and the handling method should be confirmed before the system is configured.

Commercial and Retail Shelving
Boltless Rack
Boltless racking provides accessible shelving for non-palletised goods and is listed within our commercial and retail shelving range. It can be considered for storerooms, offices, workshops and other shelf-based storage applications.
Shelf dimensions, stored-item sizes, required levels and intended loading should be confirmed when selecting the rack.

Gondola shelving is designed for organised retail product display and is available in single-sided and double-sided arrangements. Product type, shelf arrangement, display capacity, aisle configuration and shop layout should be considered together.
View Gondola Rack2-in-1 Rack
The 2-in-1 Rack is part of SKL's commercial and retail shelving range. Because the appropriate use depends on the required arrangement, customers should confirm the intended application, dimensions, stored or displayed products and required quantity before ordering.

Structural and Vertical-Space Solutions
Steel Structure Platform and Mezzanine Direction
A steel structure platform creates an elevated usable level supported by a dedicated structural arrangement. It may be assessed where additional storage, office, working or operational floor area is required while retaining usable space below.
A mezzanine direction similarly depends on usable building height, intended use, loading, access, building conditions and the confirmed project scope.

Related Structural Services
Roofing structure work is also listed within SKL's product and service range. It is treated separately from storage racking because the appropriate structural scope, materials, site conditions and application need to be determined for the individual project.

Professional Support from Requirement Review to Maintenance
A racking project involves more than supplying steel components. We review the storage requirement and available information so the proposed system can be matched to the way the premises needs to operate.
1Initial Requirement Discussion
We begin by establishing what needs to be stored, the required quantity, item or pallet dimensions, loading, access frequency and handling method.
2Site Measurement
Where required, usable floor dimensions, clear height, columns, entrances, fixed obstructions and relevant operating areas can be reviewed.
3Storage and Handling Review
Pallet or item dimensions, maximum loads, SKU profile, stock movement and forklift or other handling requirements are considered before a system direction is finalised.
4Racking System Recommendation
Suitable systems can be compared according to accessibility, storage density, handling method, use of vertical space and anticipated operational requirements.
5Layout Direction
Rack positions, storage levels, aisles, access requirements and relevant site constraints are considered using the available warehouse or premises information.
6Proposal and Quotation
The proposal can identify the proposed configuration, quantity, relevant accessories, supply scope, installation scope and project-specific requirements.
7Supply and Installation
SKL coordinates the agreed racking supply and installation according to the confirmed project arrangement. We have our own installation team supporting project implementation.
8Handover
The completed agreed scope can be reviewed with the customer, with relevant system or project information handed over where applicable.
9Maintenance and Lifecycle Support
Maintenance forms part of our service scope. Existing rack condition, visible damage, modification, expansion, repair or relocation requirements can also be reviewed as storage needs change.
Information Required for a Racking Quotation
The information needed for an industrial pallet-racking project is different from what is needed for retail or general shelving. Sending the right details at the beginning helps make the project discussion more relevant.
