Shelving systems
AR Racking’s shelving systems for picking and other medium- or light-duty goods are manual storage solutions for order preparation. These manual systems generally store non-homogeneous load units.

Types of Picking Solutions

Longspan Shelving
The Longspan Shelving picking system is the ideal solution for manually storing small to medium-sized non-palletised products.See more
Multi-tier Shelving
The Multi-tier racking system is a solution in height based on the longspan shelving system. It is ideal for manual storage.See more
Live Storage for Picking
The Carton Flow Rack system, also called Carton Live Storage, permits high density storage of cartons and light products.See moreCharacteristics of Shelving Systems
Picking Systems are key to agile and efficient operations in warehouses with manual loading. At AR Racking, we develop customised solutions that adapt to every logistical need. These are the characteristics that define our systems for boxes or light loads.

Solutions for manual storage and picking
Tailored shelving system options for manual storage include medium-duty shelves (up to 1,000 kg) as well as high-bay solutions such as raised walkways and gravity flow picking.

Fast, flexible assembly
Quick, simple installation and dismantling, with the ability to adjust beam levels and heights to the product type or operational need.

Custom design
Systems adapted to each customer, compatible with different load units and accessories to expand or modify the structure.

Versatility
Highly versatile shelving systems that do not require forklifts or lifting equipment—ideal to boost efficiency in manual picking operations. They can be combined with pallet racking to create integrated solutions for different load types.

Advanced engineering & innovation applied to picking
At AR Racking, the development of our picking shelving systems is driven by a strong commitment to technological innovation. With our in-house Technology Center, we design optimized solutions for manual storage—tailored to each project and sector—supported by advanced simulation tools and structural analysis.
We complement this engineering focus with strategic collaborations with universities such as the University of the Basque Country (AR Racking Classroom at the Bilbao School of Engineering) and Mondragon Unibertsitatea (AR Lab dedicated to storage-system research and development). These partnerships transfer technical and academic knowledge directly into more efficient, safer, and more versatile picking solutions.

Automated production for Shelving Systems
AR Racking’s picking shelving systems are manufactured in a fully automated production plant of more than 35,000 m², equipped with state-of-the-art technology and robotic processes to ensure high precision in every component. This automation, combined with exhaustive quality control, enables reliable, robust picking solutions with competitive lead times—even for large, complex projects.
