Applications of Storage Products
With over 40 years of experience in storage system design and manufacturing, Wickens has helped customers from a variety of industries improve their storage issues and select the most suitable and cost-effective solution for a specific application. While all of our racking systems are bespoke, here are some of the most popular applications of our racking systems:
Timber Storage
Timber packs and lengths need to be stored in a way that allows air circulation and minimises product damage. Wickens Cantilever Racking is a popular choice among timber and builders’ merchants because it enables storing heavy timber packs of various length in an organised manner while maximining the vertical capacity of the site. The racks can be designed so timber packs of different dimensions can be stored on the same racking system.
Sheet Metal Storage
Sheet metal is a versatile material used across industry and within manufacturing settings. However, it can be a notoriously difficult product to handle safely and efficiently because it is heavy, bulky, and often sharp. Cantilever Racking or Heavy Duty Racking can be an ideal sheet metal storage solution in a range of settings, increasing storage capacity and allowing access to selective stock while speeding up the handling of materials.
Jig & Tool Storage
Manufacturing jigs and automotive tooling, as well as mould and press tools are normally extremely heavy, bulky and expensive. Therefore, they require very robust and accessible storage solutions. Cantilever Racking or Heavy Duty Racking systems from Wickens enable efficient jig and tool storage at your premises, allowing access to specific tools and increasing vertical storage capacity of the building.
Scrap Car Storage
Cantilever Racking systems are a popular choice for scrap car storage. They help organise yard operations and allow access to selective vehicles. Wickens offers a standard range of car storage systems, ranging from two to five-car storage in height. However, bespoke solutions are available for specific scrap car storage applications.
Dry Stack Boat Storage
Storing boats out of water has a number of benefits; yet, often, floorspace at marinas can be limited. That is why Dry Stack boat storage systems are becoming increasingly popular. Wickens boat storage systems are extremely robust and designed to cope with the demanding coastal requirements.
Bar & Tube Storage
Bar and tube storage can be particularly challenging due to product length, shape and weight. Cantilever Racking has an open-front system, which enables access to stock that is stored in an organised and safe manner. In addition, Wickens Cantilever Racks can be completed with retaining pins to rack arms to prevent tubular products from rolling off the bar and tube storage system.
Fence Panel Storage
Ideal for Builder’s Merchants yards, Wickens bespoke Fence Panel Storage Systems help store and display fence panels in an organised manner. With this storage solution, products can be displayed and hand-picked from the ground level with further racking levels used for neat storage that minimises damage to the products, enables timber airing and easy lifting with a forklift truck.

Extrusion Storage
Long lengths of rubber, PVCu, and aluminium extrusion can cause issues when it comes to storage due to their length and flexibility. Wickens Cantilever Racking systems can provide practical extrusion storage, reducing the risk of product damage and maximising the vertical capacity of a warehouse.
