Types of Warehouse Racking Available in Gauteng

SSC offers a comprehensive range of warehouse racking systems to suit every storage requirement. Each system is available in both new and quality secondhand options, giving businesses in Johannesburg the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their budget and operational needs.

• Pallet Racking — Our most popular warehouse racking system, designed for heavy-duty storage of palletised goods. Available in selective, double-deep, and drive-in configurations with load capacities suited to any industrial environment in Gauteng.
• Mezzanine Flooring — Maximise your vertical space by adding an additional level to your warehouse. SSC's mezzanine floor systems effectively double your usable floor area without the cost of relocating or expanding your premises.
• Bolt-On Shelving — Versatile, easy-to-assemble shelving systems ideal for workshops, offices, storerooms, and retail environments. Available in various sizes and load capacities.
• Catwalk Flooring — Elevated walkway and platform systems that provide safe access to upper racking levels in your warehouse, improving picking efficiency and workflow.
• Decking — Kiln-dried pine board decking panels that create solid shelf surfaces within your pallet racking bays, ideal for storing non-palletised items or irregularly shaped goods.
• Light Duty Racking — Cost-effective racking systems with capacities ranging from 250kg to 600kg per shelf, perfect for lighter storage applications in offices, archives, and retail stockrooms.
• Gondola Shelving — Free-standing, double-sided shelving units commonly used in retail environments, supermarkets, and showrooms across Johannesburg.

New vs Secondhand Warehouse Racking

One of the key advantages of choosing SSC is access to both new and secondhand warehouse racking. Our secondhand racking typically saves businesses 30–50% compared to purchasing new systems, without any compromise on safety or structural integrity.

Every piece of secondhand racking in our inventory undergoes a rigorous quality assurance process at our Alrode facility. This includes visual inspection for damage and corrosion, straightening of minor deformations, replacement of any sub-standard components, load capacity verification, and surface treatment where necessary. The result is racking that performs identically to new systems at a fraction of the cost.

For businesses that require brand-new racking — whether for specific compliance requirements, aesthetic preferences, or particular specifications — SSC also supplies new racking systems from leading manufacturers. Our team can advise on the best option for your warehouse based on your budget, application, and long-term storage goals.
