Cold Storage Racking and Shelving Solutions
Cold storage environments demand precision, durability, and efficiency from every part of the warehouse — especially the racking systems. Rising energy costs and strict temperature controls mean that your storage layout must deliver both optimal capacity and reliable performance.
At Palian, we specialise in designing racking solutions engineered specifically for cold storage applications. As South Africa’s leading manufacturer and supplier of racking, shelving, and mezzanine floors, we help businesses maximise space, reduce costs, and maintain the highest standards of durability.

Overcoming Cold Storage Challenges with Advanced Racking
Cold storage environments introduce unique challenges that standard racking systems often cannot withstand. Moisture and freezing temperatures accelerate corrosion, while structural components may become brittle. Poor airflow can cause temperature inconsistencies, and conventional coatings often fail under these conditions, increasing maintenance needs and driving up energy consumption. Our tailored cold storage solutions address these issues directly, ensuring your operations run smoothly in sub-zero environments.
Solutions Built for Cold Storage Performance
Mobile Racking Systems
Mobile racking is a game-changer for cold storage. By allowing racking units to move along floor-mounted rails and opening only one aisle at a time, this system eliminates wasted aisle space. It dramatically increases storage density — by up to 90%. For cold storage, this translates into lower energy costs as there is less air to refrigerate, improved stock rotation and inventory control, consistent airflow for stable temperatures, and easy cleaning and maintenance to meet stringent hygiene standards.
Galvanised Drive-In Racking
For operations storing large volumes of uniform products, galvanised drive-in racking offers unmatched space efficiency. With forklifts entering the rack lanes to store and retrieve pallets, this system is ideal for high-density cold storage. The galvanised finish ensures long-term durability, even in high-humidity and freezing conditions, while maximising cubic space and reducing aisle requirements. It’s a robust and low-maintenance solution tailored for the demands of cold environments.
The Benefits of Galvanised Racking in Cold Storage
For operations storing large volumes of uniform products, galvanised drive-in racking offers unmatched space efficiency.
Galvanisation provides superior protection in harsh cold storage conditions. A zinc coating applied through hot-dip galvanising creates a durable, self-healing barrier against corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. This ensures that your racking maintains structural integrity despite temperature fluctuations, prevents rust caused by condensation, supports strict hygiene requirements, and delivers a long service life with minimal maintenance.
