customer feedback

We asked three racking companies to quote for the job and Wickens were the most competitive. The fact they also manufacture all the racking components meant I was confident they could provide a solution to meet our needs. The difference the new racking has made to the warehouse is significant. We are now making the most of the space available to us and can store products of different lengths more easily, meaning our business is operating more efficiently and safely.

Simon Scowcroft, Managing Director at Libra Systems

Racking keeps the place tidy, allows better access to the yard and, overall works really well.

Jason, About Roofing Supplies

We approached Wickens to design a storage solution for our lighting columns. We are pleased with the end product which has allowed us to maximise the limited space available, the site area looks a lot tidier and this will improve the working environment for our operatives.

When combined with a Wickens Guide Rail System, our Heavy Duty Cantilever Racks offers the perfect narrow aisle solution, allowing the most efficient use of space within your warehouse. A variety of safety products, such as steel safety barriers, column protectors and bollards, are available to protect your racking and stock from damage caused by materials handling machinery.

We also produce Cantilever Racking fitted with canopies and rainwater goods that will protect your externally stored products from weather damage. In addition to roofs, we offer a complete Rack Clad Building package, a very cost-effective way of constructing a stand-alone storage building.

We will carry out structural calculations to ensure that you are offered the most cost-effective racks, which are able to carry your specified loads and maximise the capacity of your storage space. Our Engineers will liaise with your chosen forklift truck supplier to ensure that our system works in complete harmony with their trucks.
