Racking systems play a critical role in the safe, efficient and structured storage of goods within industrial, manufacturing, food production and logistics environments.

Whether used for palletised stock, raw materials, finished products or chilled and frozen goods, racking must be designed and installed around the operational needs of the facility.

With almost 40 years of experience working in complex industrial environments, Ambrey Baker supports the installation, alteration and integration of racking systems within both new and existing facilities.

Our teams understand how storage systems interact with building layouts, floor slabs, materials handling equipment, loading areas, pedestrian routes and wider operational processes.

Racking systems must be planned carefully to ensure they provide safe access for forklifts, reach trucks, pallet movements, maintenance teams and operational staff. We work with clients and specialist racking suppliers to help ensure that installations are practical, space-efficient and aligned with the day-to-day movement of goods through the facility.

Many racking projects take place inside live operational environments where continuity is essential. Our teams plan works around site operations, coordinating closely with management teams to reduce disruption while maintaining safe working areas, clear access routes and controlled construction zones.

Where racking systems are installed within regulated environments such as food manufacturing, cold storage or temperature-controlled facilities, we ensure that associated building works support the relevant operational and hygiene requirements of the site. This can include cleanable finishes, protection from impact damage, safe segregation of works and appropriate coordination with food safety management procedures. Construction activities are also delivered in line with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 to support safe planning and delivery on operational sites.

Racking systems must function as part of a wider logistics and storage process. Our role is to ensure that the building, storage layout, access routes and associated infrastructure work together effectively so that products can be stored, handled and moved safely.
