Hong Kong Warehouse: How Storage Systems Promote Efficiency

By Verla Chears

More often than not, many Hong Kong warehouse facilities have storage space that is underutilized or is not used efficiently. If this is the case, operational and storage costs can easily pile up and your profits can be affected in a serious way. Therefore it makes sense to implement a warehouse storage system that will fit the needs of your business and ensure effective utilization of storage space.

If your merchandise are not stored properly using the appropriate storage system, there is a possibility that they would be damaged, lost, or be subject to theft. It is actually more difficult to monitor and manage the flow of merchandise in your Hong Kong warehouse if you don't have a reliable storage system in place. Using one or more racking systems can be advantageous for your warehouse.

With the pallet racking system, you can have the advantage of storing goods of different types, sizes, shapes, and weight. Pallet racks are versatile and flexible, and they can be custom-fitted to your storage needs. Since pallet racks can be stacked on top of each other, more of the vertical space of your Hong Kong warehouse can be utilized so that your floor area can accommodate more items.

Pallet racks are also easy to install and reinstalled; if pallets need to be moved from one place to another, forklifts make this task convenient. Even if you already have an existing storage system in your Hong Kong warehouse, incorporating this storage system will be a breeze. For safety and security, pallet racks have safety locks to protect your valuable merchandise.

Another widely used storage system that can be used in your Hong Kong warehouse is the mezzanine racking system. If you have already seen one, you will notice that it looks like another floor in the warehouse, providing plenty of storage space. It is effective in using the vertical space of your warehouse and can be rack-supported, shelf-supported, structural or roll-formed.

If you intend to store long items in your Hong Kong warehouse such as lumber, plumbing materials, aluminum sheets, or steel pipes, using the cantilever racking system is an ideal choice. This is a simple racking system that is comprised of the vertical column, base, arms, and cross bracing. It can also be customized to fit your storage needs just like mezzanine and pallet racking systems.
