AS/RS Racking Systems

Maximize pallet density. Ensure precision. Support automation that delivers.

Steel King designs and manufactures structural racking systems engineered specifically for Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS). From high-bay pallet storage to high-velocity mini-load applications, our racking solutions provide the strength, precision, and flexibility required to keep automation running at peak performance—especially in demanding environments like cold storage, manufacturing, and distribution.

High-Performance Automation Demands Structural Precision

In AS/RS environments racking isn’t just storage, it’s the foundation of system performance.

Steel King’s structural steel racking is engineered to maintain alignment under dynamic loads, crane forces, and continuous cycling. Unlike roll-formed systems, our structural designs resist deformation over time—protecting system accuracy, reducing downtime, and extending the life of your automation investment.

Engineered for High-Performance AS/RS Applications

Unit Load AS/RS

Designed for high-capacity pallet storage, unit-load systems handle loads typically exceeding 1,000 lbs and reaching heights of over 100 feet.

• High-Density Storage – Single- to multi-deep configurations optimized for maximum space.
• Heavy-Duty Build – Built for heavy loads and continuous, high-throughput operations.
• Versatile Applications – Ideal for manufacturing, distribution, and cold storage facilities.

Mini Load AS/RS

Optimized for smaller, high-velocity items, mini-load systems manage totes, trays, and cartons with speed and precision.

• Lightweight Load Handling – Engineered for retrieval of loads typically under 1,000 lbs.
• High-Speed Picking – Perfect for fast-paced, high-density picking environments.
• Versatile Applications – Ideal for e-commerce, parts distribution, and manufacturing support.

SK ADVANTX™: Purpose-Built for Automation

Steel King’s SK ADVANTX™ system is a modular, bolt-together structural racking solution designed specifically for automated environments.

• Seamless Integration – Configurable to integrate with conveyors, lifts, and shuttle systems
• Adaptive Strength – Delivers unmatched structural strength without sacrificing flexibility.
• Future-Proof – Designed to adapt as automation strategies evolve.
• Compatibility – Supports a wide range of AS/RS technologies and OEM integrations.

Whether you’re designing a new system or upgrading an existing facility, SK ADVANTX™ provides the backbone for scalable, future-ready automation.

Rack Supported Buildings: Maximum Height & Density

Take your automation strategy to the next level with rack-supported AS/RS facilities. In this approach, the racking system forms the structural framework of the building, supporting the roof and walls while maximizing vertical storage capacity (130+ ft).

• Accelerated Timelines – Faster construction schedules compared to traditional builds.
• Cost Efficiency – Lower total project cost vs. traditional buildings as the racking is also the building’s skeleton.
• Maximum Cubic Footage – Achieves the absolute highest density of space utilization possible.
• Specialized Environments – Ideal for cold storage and high-density applications.
