Based in Penang and established in 2007, SKL Metal Systems helps businesses choose practical storage solutions according to their goods, available warehouse space and operating requirements. Our official product range covers pallet racking, specialised long-span storage, structural platforms and racking accessories, supported by design, supply, installation and maintenance services.
The right warehouse racking system should be selected according to the type and dimensions of your goods, number of SKUs, pallet quantities, stock rotation, handling equipment and usable building height—not simply by choosing the system with the highest storage density.
Consider pallet dimensions, product shape, weight distribution and whether items are palletised, boxed, bulky or long.
A large SKU range usually needs greater selectivity, while fewer SKUs with larger pallet quantities may suit higher-density storage.
Aisle width, turning space, reach depth and handling equipment should be considered before a rack layout is finalised.
High ceilings can sometimes be used more effectively with taller racks, multi-tier systems or structural platform solutions.
SKL supplies several warehouse storage configurations. The best option depends on the balance you need between accessibility, storage density, item dimensions and operating workflow.
Direct access to individual pallet positions makes selective racking suitable for operations with many SKUs and frequent stock access.
View Selective Pallet RackingA versatile storage system for large, heavy, bulky or awkward goods, with adjustable shelf levels for different storage requirements.
View Heavy Duty RackingA high-density pallet storage option designed for fewer SKUs with larger pallet quantities, using a first-in, last-out storage approach.
View Drive-In RackingStores pallets two positions deep to increase storage density compared with conventional selective layouts, while requiring suitable reach equipment.
View Double Deep RackingDesigned for long and bulky products such as pipes, tubing, timber-related materials and other items that are difficult to store on conventional pallet racks.
View Cantilever RackingUses available vertical space to create additional storage levels and is particularly relevant to small- and medium-sized goods in buildings with usable ceiling height.
View Multi-Tier RackingAvailable components include base plates, pallet stoppers, support bars, beam protectors, safety barriers, column guards and related rack components.
View Racking AccessoriesBusinesses looking to create additional usable floor levels can also explore our steel structure platform and mezzanine solutions.
These images are hosted on SKL Metal Systems' official website and show practical examples of the racking configurations available from our product range.
A configuration focused on direct pallet access and clear storage locations.
High-density storage lanes intended for larger quantities of fewer palletised SKUs.
A practical way to use vertical warehouse space for small- and medium-sized stored goods.
Adjustable storage levels provide flexibility for bulky and differently sized goods.
Open-fronted arms make long products such as pipes and similar materials easier to store and retrieve.
Start with how you need to access the goods. Storage density matters, but the racking system must also support your stock profile and material-handling workflow.
| Storage Requirement | System to Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Easy access to every pallet | Selective Pallet Racking | Provides direct access and works well with a large range of SKUs. |
| Higher density with fewer SKUs | Drive-In / Double Deep | Reduces the number of aisles or increases pallet depth to improve storage density. |
| Long or bulky materials | Cantilever Racking | Open storage arms accommodate pipes, tubing and other elongated products. |
| Use more of a high ceiling | Multi-Tier Racking | Creates additional storage levels within usable vertical space. |
| Need an additional usable floor | Steel Structure Platform | Adds an elevated floor for storage or other operational space while keeping ground-floor space available. |
Our approach is built around practical warehouse storage requirements rather than unsupported marketing claims.
