Your racking system determines how much you can store, how fast your team can access stock and how efficiently your warehouse runs. Here is a straightforward comparison of the most common systems used in Bangladesh.
Selective Pallet Racking is the most widely used system — direct access to every pallet, compatible with all standard forklifts and the most cost-effective starting point for any warehouse.
Double Deep Racking stores pallets two positions deep, increasing storage density by up to 40% compared to selective racking. Best suited for warehouses with large quantities of the same product.
VNA Racking (Very Narrow Aisle) reduces aisle width to as little as 1.5 meters, dramatically increasing the number of racking rows within the same floor space. Requires specialized VNA trucks but delivers 30–50% more storage capacity.
Mobile Racking mounts on motorized bases that move along floor rails, eliminating permanent aisles entirely. Ideal for cold storage where reducing refrigerated space is critical.
Pallet Shuttle uses a motorized shuttle cart inside racking channels to move pallets deep into storage automatically — reducing forklift travel time and increasing density significantly.
ASRS (Automated Storage & Retrieval System) is the most advanced option — fully automated cranes and conveyors handle all storage and retrieval with minimal human involvement. Best for large-scale, high-throughput operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selective Pallet Racking is the most cost-effective option and works well for almost any warehouse size or product mix.
No. VNA racking requires specialized VNA Trucks or Articulated Forklifts. Standard forklifts cannot safely operate in very narrow aisles.
Yes. We supply and install all types of racking systems — from standard selective racking to full ASRS automation — nationwide.
