Clad Rack Systems
(Clad Rack Systems)
The racking is also the structure of the building: roof and wall panels are fixed to it, so the warehouse is built without a separate building frame.
- Racking carries roof and cladding
- Full use of building height
- For high-bay and automated warehouses
Technical specifications
Load capacity and dimensions are determined by the project for your building and stated in the quotation.
| System type | Rack-supported building (clad rack) |
|---|---|
| Structural role | The racking carries the roof, cladding and snow and wind loads |
| Cladding | Roof and wall panels to the design |
| Handling | VNA trucks, shuttle systems or automated cranes |
| Foundations | Reinforced concrete slab to the structural calculation |
| Documentation | Structural calculation and design to applicable regulations |
| Load capacity and dimensions | Determined by the project |
Benefits
No separate building
The racking replaces the building’s load-bearing structure.
Full height
The warehouse uses the entire building height.
Smaller footprint
High capacity on less land.
Ready for automation
Suited to AS/RS and shuttle systems.
Integrated construction
Racking and building are designed and built as one.
Cold stores
Also suitable for temperature-controlled warehouses.
Applications
- High-bay warehouses
- Cold and freezer stores
- Automated warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Production warehouses
- Beverage warehouses
How it works
- DesignThe racking structure is designed together with the building, including roof, cladding and foundations.
- InstallationAfter the foundation slab, the racking is installed, followed by roof and wall panels.
- OperationGoods are handled by VNA trucks or automated systems.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clad rack warehouse?
A warehouse in which the racking structure supports both the roof and the cladding – building and racking form a single unit.
When does a clad rack system make sense?
Most often for high-bay warehouses, where the full height is used for storage and land is limited.
Can it be combined with automation?
Yes. Clad rack warehouses are often built for automated cranes (AS/RS) or shuttle systems.
What information do you need for a quotation?
For a quotation please send: site location and plot details, required capacity in pallet positions, pallet dimensions and weight, planned height, handling method (VNA, shuttle, AS/RS), temperature regime (e.g. cold store) and any available geotechnical data.
