Cold Storage Racking Systems Supplier & Solution Provider
HeShun specializes in cold chain warehousing, providing cold storage racking systems and the tailored solutions that go with them. We’ve been around enough cold storage projects to know the drill—temperature, cargo type, how the workflow runs, how far you want to go with automation. Based on that, we match you with the right cold storage racking setup, from selective racking all the way to ASRS. We offer integrated cold storage racking solutions that cover design, equipment, and on-site installation, so you’re not juggling multiple vendors.

Types of Cold Storage Racking Systems
Pallet Flow RackingLet gravity do the work. Pallets glide down sloped rails on their own — no motors, no power, and FIFO happens automatically. Perfect for frozen foods, ice cream, and anything where you need to track batches.
Selective Pallet RackingIt’s pretty much the go-to in cold storage. Walk right up, grab the pallet you need—no digging around. Handles a ton of different SKUs, and if you ever want to add stacker cranes down the line, you’re already set up for it.
VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) RackingAisles shrink to around 1.6 meters, which frees up about 30% more floor space compared to a standard layout. Makes a lot of sense when your cold storage footprint is tight and you need every slot to count.
Drive In Pallet RackingForklifts drive straight into the racks instead of working from an aisle. Less wasted space, more pallets stored. Best for big volumes with just a handful of different products.
Double Deep Pallet RackingTwo rows deep instead of one- you get better storage density without having to crawl through racks to find stuff. A solid middle ground when you’ve got a decent number of SKUs and things move at a steady clip.
Pallet Shuttle RackingElectric shuttles handle the moving- zipping pallets in and out automatically, stacking them tight. Works with FIFO or LIFO, whatever works for you. Pretty common in bigger cold storage facilities, especially the ones that are expanding or upgrading.
Automated High Bay Racking (ASRS)Stacker cranes and a WMS run the whole show- no need for anyone inside the warehouse. You’re maxing out every bit of vertical space, often going 30 meters or higher. Built for the big players: large cold chain distribution centers and fully automated cold storage operations.
More About Our Cold Storage Racking
Picking the right racking for your cold storage project comes down to a few things: how cold it runs, how many SKUs you carry, how dense you need to pack the storage, and how your daily operation actually works.
- Specifications
| Cold Storage Needs | Recommended Racking Type | Applicable Scenarios | Key Advantages |
| High-frequency access; multiple SKUs and product categories | Selective Pallet Racking | Food/pharmaceutical cold storage, general warehousing | Independent pallet access; compatible with various forklifts; highly flexible; most widely used |
| Bulk storage; limited product variety; batch-based storage | Drive In Pallet Racking | Meat, seafood, and frozen food warehouses | Forklift drive-in access; reduces aisle space; increases storage density; suitable for LIFO operations |
| FIFO (First-In, First-Out) management required | Pallet Flow Racking | Frozen food, beverage, and pharmaceutical cold storage | Gravity-fed flow; separates loading and unloading sides; improves inventory turnover efficiency |
| Limited space; need to maximize storage capacity | VNA Racking | High-rise cold storage, compact warehouses | Aisle width approx. 1.6–2m; maximizes space utilization; requires VNA forklifts |
| Large inventory volume per SKU; balancing density and efficiency | Double Deep Pallet Racking | Medium-to-large cold chain warehouses, food freezers | Double-row pallet storage; increases density; suitable for concentrated SKU storage |
| High-density, bulk storage | Pallet Shuttle Racking | Cold chain logistics centers, large freezers | Automated shuttle transport; supports FIFO/LIFO; maximizes capacity and efficiency |
| Ultra-large, intelligent warehousing | Automated High Bay Racking (ASRS) | Smart cold chain centers, pharmaceutical GSP cold storage | Automated stacker crane operation; heights exceeding 30m; enables intelligent management |
Depends on a few things. What temp? How many SKUs? Need high density? How fast does inventory move? Planning to automate?
Cold storage racking — lots of different products and need fast access? Selective Pallet Racking. Mostly bulk storage? Drive-In racks. Going for density or automation? Pallet Shuttle or Automated High-Bay (ASRS).
Yeah. Cold storage racking is built from high-strength structural steel with anti-corrosion treatment—holds up fine in freezing, damp conditions year after year. HeShun adjusts the cold storage racking design based on your temp zone. Freezer, chiller, whatever you need.
ASRS, no contest. Stacker cranes push vertical space to 30 meters-you’re using every cubic meter you’ve got. Pallet Shuttle’s close behind, boosting capacity 60–80% over selective racks. Solid choice for high-density cold storage racking.
Absolutely. HeShun builds around your warehouse layout, temps, pallet sizes, storage targets, and automation level. We handle everything: rack selection, floor plan, equipment, and install from start to finish. That’s cold storage racking done right.
