Storage racks with shelving are a combination of a shop rack with a handy warehouse located directly above it. Racks with integration are perfect for facilities offering construction, renovation and interior design products. Racks of this type are most often used in stores and construction depots as well as home and garden furnishing companies. That is why they are often called construction racks. Racks with integration allow you to create an excellent display of the goods sold, using the high adaptability of store shelves, and at the same time to store surplus goods in the handy warehouse located above. As a manufacturer of integration shelves for DIY stores, we are able to provide a wide range of integration options, as well as all standard and optional accessories on request.

Construction of a rack with integration
Customer zone
The first is the “ground floor”, consisting of specially designed shop shelves. It is a customer zone with products that fit into the basket of a warehouse or shopping cart. This area can store power tools, garden equipment, light building materials, lighting and much more.
Handy warehouse zone
The second element of the integrated rack is the “upstairs” part, which consists of pallet racks for storing lighted products or larger items. This gives the possibility to quickly supplement the assortment by downloading the pallet.

MR and HR systems
The HR and MR systems of integrated racks are used to store medium and heavy loads in warehouses and construction stores. When used in building depots, the upper floors are equipped with crossbeams for holding pallets, while the lower section is equipped with shop shelves allowing for the presentation of products.
MR system
The “lighter” version of the integrated rack, the Mini Rack (MR) system, is used to store boxed, loose products on shelves. Mini Rack racks are mainly used for medium loads as they cannot support a weight (on a pallet crossbeam) greater than 960 kg when configured with shop racks. In the case of a configuration with only traverses, the maximum load capacity per frame is as much as 5 000 kg. The biggest advantages of the MR integrated system are versatility, ease of modification, low price, simple structure and quick assembly. Racks with MR integration are recommended as racks for smaller and medium-sized DIY stores.

HR system
The High Rack (HR) system of integrated racks is intended for the storage of heavy loads, which can amount to 16 200 kg per frame, in the case of a configuration consisting of only traverses. When configured with shop shelving, the maximum load on the upper crossbeams may be a maximum of 5 600 kg per frame. This allows for convenient storage of products at the level of store shelves, which can then be refilled from pallets stored on the upper levels. This solution allows for a very easy organization of a warehouse or commercial space of a construction warehouse. Racks with HR integration are recommended as racks for large stores and construction depots.
