Not every product fits neatly onto a standard pallet racking system, which is why we engineer tailored solutions for heavy coils, bulky tyres, long materials, and outdoor stock. Built with strength, durability, and maximum space utilisation in mind, our systems ensure your warehouse storage or yard performs at its best.
Suitable Applications & Benefits of Specialist Racking Solutions
Double Deep Racking
Double deep racking stores pallets two positions deep at each pick face, delivering up to 30% more density than standard APR. Operating on a LIFO basis, it’s ideal for high-volume operations with multiple pallets per SKU - and unlike drive-in, each lane can hold a different product.
A-Frame / Vertical Racking
A-frame racking provides a compact and versatile solution for long, awkward or bulky items such as timber, sheet materials, pipes, extrusions and profiles. Products are stored vertically or at a slight angle, keeping them easily accessible and organised without taking up excessive floor space. Ideal for workshops, fabrication units and distribution centres.
Mobile Pallet Racking
Electrically powered bases move entire rack runs on floor rails, creating a single moveable aisle and achieving up to 90% floor utilisation while maintaining 100% pallet access. Operated via control panel or remote, aisles open only when needed - reducing refrigeration costs in cold store environments.
Rack Supported Structures
Multi-level, self-supporting structures that eliminate the need for mezzanine floors or building expansion. Scalable from single-level to five-tier configurations, increasing storage capacity by up to 300%. Ideal for e-commerce, distribution, and fulfilment centres.
At Ikon, we design and supply a wide range of specialist racking systems that improve warehouse efficiency, safety, and organisation across multiple industries. Not every product fits neatly onto a standard pallet racking system, which is why we engineer tailored solutions for heavy coils, bulky tyres, long materials, and outdoor stock. Built with strength, durability, and maximum space utilisation in mind, our systems ensure your warehouse storage or yard performs at its best.
Specialist racking is essential when you’re storing items that are oversized, unusually shaped, or too heavy for conventional warehouse racking systems. The right solution doesn’t just save space — it also improves safety, reduces product damage, and keeps inventory accessible and organised. By tailoring the design of your racking and storage system to your materials, you unlock higher productivity and smoother workflows throughout your facility.
Coil Racking, Tyre Racking, Pigeon Hole Storage, Galvanised External Racking, And Multi-Tier Picking Systems.
IKON’s coil racking systems are designed for the safe, organised, and efficient storage of heavy coils, reels, and drums. Engineered for strength and durability, our coil racks provide easy access, enhanced safety, and space optimisation, making them ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centres.

Whether you need a single-tier or multi-tier system, IKON’s coil racking solutions are designed to improve workflow and protect your inventory.
Storing steel, aluminium, or cable coils can be difficult without the right support. Ikon’s coil racking is engineered specifically for cylindrical and heavy-duty loads, cradling them securely in purpose-built frames. This prevents shifting or rolling while ensuring easy forklift access. Industries such as steel production, cable manufacturing, and automotive benefit from safer, more efficient handling of heavy stock.
IKON’s tyre racking systems provide a secure, space-efficient, and easily accessible solution for storing tyres of all sizes. Whether for automotive workshops, tyre retailers, or large-scale distribution centres, our racks are designed to maximise storage capacity while ensuring quick and safe retrieval.
Key Benefits:
Optimised Space Efficiency – Store more tyres in less space while keeping them easily accessible.
Durable & Sturdy Design – Built to support the weight and shape of various tyre types.
Customisable Solutions – Adjustable configurations to fit passenger, commercial, or off-road tyres.
Improved Organisation – Helps streamline inventory management and enhance workflow.
From small tyre storage solutions to large-scale warehouse systems, IKON’s tyre racking is designed for durability, flexibility, and efficiency.
For automotive, logistics, and distribution businesses, tyre racking provides an organised way to store everything from car tyres to large truck or agricultural tyres. By lifting stock off the floor and arranging it on sturdy adjustable racks, tyres become easier to access, count, and move. The result is a cleaner, safer, and more efficient storage environment compared to standard warehouse shelving.
IKON’s galvanised external racking is designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions while providing strong, reliable, and weather-resistant storage for bulky or heavy materials. Ideal for construction sites, timber yards, and industrial facilities, our galvanised racking ensures long-term durability and maximum efficiency in outdoor environments.
Key Benefits:
Weather-Resistant – Hot-dip galvanised for protection against rust, corrosion, and extreme conditions.
Heavy-Duty Strength – Engineered to support large, heavy loads safely and efficiently.
Space Optimisation – Maximises outdoor storage while keeping materials accessible.
Customisable Configurations – Available in various sizes and load capacities to suit your needs.
Perfect for storing steel, timber, pipes, and more, IKON’s galvanised external racking provides a long-lasting and efficient solution for your outdoor storage challenges.
Some inventory must be stored outdoors, and durability is critical. Ikon’s galvanised external racking is hot-dip galvanised to withstand rain, humidity, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for yards and outdoor distribution centres. Strong enough to handle timber, pallets, or steel, this corrosion-resistant system ensures long-term reliability for industries such as building supply and timber storage.
IKON’s pigeon hole racking is the perfect solution for storing and organising small components, tools, and long materials such as pipes, bars, and profiles. Designed for quick access and efficient space management, our racking systems help streamline workflows in warehouses, workshops, and industrial facilities.
Key Benefits:
Efficient Organisation – Keeps materials neatly stored and easy to retrieve.
Customisable Compartments – Adjustable pigeon holes to fit different sizes of items.
Durable & Sturdy – Built for strength and long-term reliability.
Space-Saving Design – Maximises storage while maintaining easy accessibility.
Whether you need small compartmentalised storage or large pigeon holes for long materials, IKON’s pigeon hole racking offers a versatile and practical solution.
Long materials such as timber, pipes, aluminium profiles, or rods are notoriously difficult to store in traditional storage racking systems. Pigeon hole racking creates individual compartments to keep goods separate and organised, preventing damage and speeding up picking. For industries like construction, plumbing, and electrical supply, it offers a straightforward way to control stock and improve warehouse operations.

Our expert team takes the guesswork out of this process by conducting a comprehensive, free site survey and space planning assessment. We analyse your daily workflow and inventory management to design a bespoke, high-density storage solution that maximises your capacity and efficiency. Speak to an expert today.
Yes. Beyond professional, safe installation by certified teams, we provide complete lifecycle support for your warehouse racking. This includes routine maintenance, rapid damage repair, and formal SEMA-aligned racking inspections to ensure your facility remains strictly compliant with UK health and safety regulations. Protect your workforce and your investment with our tailored aftercare packages. Explore our inspection services.
Lead times vary depending on the scale and complexity of your storage project. For standard stock items and simple industrial shelving, we can often provide next-day delivery. For larger, bespoke installations—such as complete warehouse fit-outs, heavy-duty pallet racking, or custom mezzanine floors—lead times typically range up to 6 weeks. We always provide a clear, transparent project timeline during your initial consultation to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
Absolutely. We understand that upgrading your commercial storage is a significant capital investment. To help you manage cash flow while still expanding your operational capacity, we offer flexible, competitive financing options for all our racking and mezzanine installations. Contact our team to discuss a budget-friendly payment plan tailored specifically to your business needs.
Under UK health and safety legislation, your warehouse racking must be maintained in a safe working condition. The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA) highly recommends that a formal, documented inspection is carried out by a technically competent person—such as a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI)—at least once every 12 months. Alongside this annual check, you should conduct regular in-house visual inspections to spot immediate damage. Ikon offers comprehensive, SEMA-aligned inspection and maintenance packages to keep your facility fully compliant.
In most cases, installing a mezzanine floor inside your existing warehouse does not require planning permission, as it is considered an internal alteration. However, it will always require Building Regulations approval to ensure it meets strict structural, fire safety, and accessibility standards. At Ikon, our end-to-end service means we manage the entire Building Regulations application process on your behalf, ensuring your new mezzanine is completely compliant and hassle-free.
The load capacity of industrial pallet racking varies significantly depending on the specific system, the height of the frames, the type of beams used, and how the weight is distributed. For example, standard adjustable pallet racking can often hold several tonnes per level, while heavy-duty systems like Drive-In racking are engineered for high-density bulk storage. To ensure maximum safety, load capacity signs (Safe Working Load notices) must always be clearly displayed. If you are unsure what capacity you need, contact Ikon for a free site survey to calculate your exact requirements.
Yes, absolutely. We do much more than just install new systems. If you are moving premises, we offer complete warehouse relocation services, safely dismantling your existing racking and re-installing it at your new site. We also provide certified racking repair services; if a forklift collision damages an upright or beam, our maintenance team can replace the compromised components swiftly to minimise operational downtime and keep your racking SEMA-compliant.
SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) is the UK’s leading body for safe storage practice. Their guidelines cover the safe design, installation, use, and maintenance of warehouse racking. Key SEMA recommendations include ensuring all racking is installed by qualified professionals, conducting annual expert safety inspections, promptly reporting and repairing accidental damage, and displaying clear load capacity notices on every rack. Ikon strictly adheres to SEMA guidelines across all our installations and maintenance services to guarantee the safety of your workforce.
