Underperforming warehouse space is one of the most common drags on operational efficiency for Coventry businesses. If your facility is running out of capacity, struggling with slow pick times, or relying on floor-level storage, the problem is rarely the building — it’s the system inside it. A well-designed pallet racking solution transforms the same footprint into a high-density, high-efficiency storage environment.
Prodek supplies and installs a comprehensive range of pallet racking systems for businesses across Coventry and the wider Midlands — from adjustable wide aisle racking for general warehousing to high-density drive-in and mobile racking for facilities where space is at a premium. Every system is configured to your specific inventory, operational workflow, and building dimensions.
With over 30 years of experience in the material handling industry, our team manages the entire project — from initial warehouse assessment and system design through to professional installation and ongoing support — giving you a single, accountable partner from start to finish.
No two warehouses in Coventry are the same. Inventory profiles, handling equipment, SKU counts, stock rotation requirements, and building dimensions all vary — and a pallet racking system that works well for one operation can actively hinder another. Businesses across Coventry and surrounding areas including Warwick, Nuneaton, Leamington Spa, Bedworth, Hinckley, Kenilworth, and Rugby need a system specified for their operation, not picked from a catalogue.
The right racking configuration directly affects how fast your team can pick, how accurately stock can be located, how safely your warehouse operates, and how much revenue you generate per square metre of floor space. Poor racking design — the wrong aisle widths, unsuitable beam heights, or a system that doesn’t match your forklift fleet — creates bottlenecks that compound over time and become increasingly costly to unpick.
At Prodek Design & Storage Systems Ltd, we have been designing, supplying, and installing pallet racking systems for over 30 years. From distribution centres on Coventry’s major industrial corridors to manufacturing facilities and fulfilment operations across the Midlands, we take a design-first approach to every project — ensuring the system we specify genuinely improves your warehouse performance from day one.
The most widely used system in UK warehouses, wide aisle adjustable pallet racking provides direct forklift access to every pallet position. Configured to standard aisle widths of 2.5 to 4 metres and adjustable on a 75mm beam pitch, it suits businesses handling a broad mix of SKUs where selectivity and speed of access are the priority. Beams and frames are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different pallet dimensions and load weights.
Where floor space is limited, reducing aisle widths is the most direct way to increase storage density. Narrow aisle racking operates with aisle widths from 1.8 to 2.3 metres, while VNA racking — used with specialist guided handling equipment — can deliver a further 5% uplift in capacity on top of that. Both systems are well suited to Coventry warehouses where every square metre carries a cost.
Double deep racking stores pallets two positions deep rather than one, significantly increasing storage density without the complexity or cost of a fully automated system. It is particularly effective for operations handling large volumes of non-perishable or fast-moving goods where stock rotation by individual pallet is less critical. A reach truck with a pantograph attachment is required for operation.
Mobile racking systems mount racking bays on motorised floor tracks, eliminating fixed aisles and opening a single working aisle only where it is needed. This can increase usable storage space by up to 90% compared to conventional wide aisle systems — making it one of the highest-density solutions available for Coventry warehouses where floor area is severely restricted.
Live pallet racking uses gravity-fed rollers to move pallets forward automatically on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis — ideal for perishable goods, date-sensitive stock, and fast-moving lines where strict rotation is essential. Push-back racking operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle, using inclined lanes that allow multiple pallets to be stored in depth from a single aisle face, speeding up forklift access in space-limited environments.
Drive-in racking eliminates individual aisles entirely, allowing forklifts to drive directly into the racking structure to place or retrieve pallets. Achieving over 80% warehouse utilisation, it is the highest-density conventional racking system available and best suited to operations with a limited number of SKUs stored in high volume. For facilities requiring even faster throughput, a pallet shuttle system automates pallet movement within the lanes, reducing forklift travel time and improving safety in high-turnover environments.
A pallet racking system is only as good as the design behind it. The wrong configuration for your operation — incorrect beam heights, unsuitable aisle widths, or a system that doesn’t account for your handling equipment — leads to wasted space, slower operations, and unnecessary safety risk. Getting it right from the outset matters.
Prodek takes a design-first approach to every project. We assess your inventory profile, stock rotation requirements, handling equipment, and building constraints before recommending a system — ensuring the solution we specify genuinely optimises your Coventry warehouse rather than simply filling it with racking.
All installations are SEMA-compliant and completed by our own in-house team. We also offer an ongoing rack inspection service, keeping your installation compliant with PUWER regulations and The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 — so your racking remains safe, serviceable, and legally compliant long after installation day.
Upgrading or expanding a pallet racking system is a significant operational investment — and one that typically delivers a rapid return through improved efficiency and increased storage revenue per square metre. To make that investment more accessible, Prodek offers flexible project finance options that allow you to spread the cost over an agreed repayment period.
This means your business benefits from increased capacity and improved warehouse performance from day one, without committing to a large upfront capital outlay. Speak to our team when you request your free site survey and we will talk you through the finance options available for your specific project.
Every project begins with a free, detailed site survey at your Coventry premises. Our team assesses your current storage setup, building dimensions, floor loading, handling equipment, and operational workflow — building a clear picture of where your warehouse is underperforming and what a well-designed racking system can achieve. This is the foundation every good installation is built on.
Following the survey, our design team produces a fully tailored racking layout with beam configurations, load specifications, aisle sizing, and compliance documentation. We design around your inventory and workflow, not the other way around — and we handle all relevant compliance checks to ensure the final design meets current SEMA guidelines and building regulations.
All pallet racking systems are supplied and installed by Prodek's own team to SEMA standards, ensuring consistent quality and full accountability throughout. Installation is carefully planned to minimise disruption to your live warehouse operations — and where required, we can phase installation to keep your facility running throughout the process.
A racking installation requires regular inspection to remain legally compliant under PUWER and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Prodek provides an annual rack inspection service carried out by SEMA-trained and certified inspectors, using the industry-standard traffic light classification system to identify and prioritise any remedial work. We remain available for ongoing support, repairs, and system modifications as your storage requirements evolve.
Prodek’s pallet racking supply and installation services cover the full breadth of the Midlands region. Our team regularly works with businesses in Coventry, Warwick, Royal Leamington Spa, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Hinckley, Kenilworth, Rugby, Daventry, Redditch, and across the wider West and East Midlands.
