About ILS Middle East

Warehouse Racking & Industrial Shelving Systems for the Middle East and Africa

ILS Middle East helps distributors, 3PL operators, manufacturers and retailers turn floor area and clear height into safe, accessible storage capacity. We specialise in pallet racking, mezzanine floors and shelving engineered around your actual pallets, forklifts and floor slab — not catalogue averages.

Every project starts with a site survey and load calculation, followed by a CAD layout that balances storage density, pick efficiency and aisle safety. Our installation teams then build to the approved drawing and hand over with rated load signs, so your operators know exactly what each bay can hold.

  • Free layout & capacity planning
  • Designed to FEM / EN 15512 principles
  • Hot climate powder-coated steel
  • Relocation, repair & inspection

Racking Systems Matched to the Way Your Warehouse Moves

Selectivity, density and load type decide the right system. Below are our most specified solutions — each supplied with layout drawings, rated capacities and professional installation for warehouses, cold stores, automotive centres and retail distribution hubs.

Heavy Duty Pallet Racking

Selective racking with 100% direct access to every pallet — the most versatile choice for high-SKU distribution and 3PL warehouses.

Best for: mixed SKUs, FIFO, forklift & reach-truck operations
Explore Heavy Duty Racking

Drive In Racking

High-density lanes where forklifts drive into the structure, eliminating most aisles — ideal for large volumes of identical products.

Best for: cold storage, beverages, seasonal bulk stock
Explore Drive In Racking

Cantilever Racking

Column-and-arm design with no front uprights, giving clear access for long, bulky or irregular loads of any length.

Best for: steel pipes, timber, profiles, sheet materials
Explore Cantilever Racking

Mezzanine Systems

Free-standing or rack-supported mezzanine floors that double usable area without relocating or extending your building.

Best for: picking floors, light storage, offices above stock

Why Buyers Choose ILS

Engineering Discipline Behind Every Bay

Racking failures are almost always caused by under-specified components, poor installation or unchecked impact damage. Our process is built to remove all three risks.

01 / CAPACITY

Calculated, Not Estimated

Upright and beam sizes are selected from actual unit loads, beam levels and seismic or floor conditions — with rated load signage on every run.

02 / DESIGN

CAD Layout Planning

We model aisle widths, flue spaces and sprinkler clearances around your forklift specification to maximise pallet positions without compromising safety.

03 / INSTALLATION

Trained Installation Teams

In-house crews install to the approved drawing: anchored, plumbed and levelled, with beam safety locks and protection accessories fitted as standard.

04 / LIFECYCLE

Aftercare & Relocation

Inspection, damaged-component replacement, reconfiguration and full warehouse racking relocation keep your system compliant as operations grow.

How a Project Runs

From Site Survey to Loaded Racking in Five Steps

A transparent workflow so procurement, operations and safety teams can sign off with confidence at each stage.

Site Survey

Measure clear height, column grid, docks, floor slab and fire-protection constraints.

Load Analysis

Confirm pallet size, unit weight, SKU profile and handling equipment.

Layout & Proposal

CAD drawings, capacity per bay and a full bill of materials for approval.

Supply & Install

Coordinated delivery and installation with on-site supervision and QA checks.

Handover

Load signage, as-built drawings and guidance on routine rack inspection.

Buyer FAQ

Answers to Common Racking Questions

Practical guidance from our project engineers to help procurement and operations teams compare systems and plan budgets with fewer surprises.

Which racking system is right for my warehouse?

It depends on SKU count, pallet throughput and access needs. Selective pallet racking gives 100% direct access for high-SKU operations; drive-in racking maximises density for large quantities of the same SKU; double deep racking balances density and selectivity; cantilever racking suits long or irregular loads such as pipes, timber and steel.

What information do you need to design a layout?

A floor plan with column positions, clear height under beams or sprinklers, pallet dimensions and weight, forklift or reach-truck model and lift height, floor slab specification, and your target pallet positions or throughput.

Can existing racking be relocated to a new warehouse?

Yes. Our relocation service covers inspection, dismantling, component tagging, transport, re-installation to a new layout and replacement of damaged uprights, beams or accessories, followed by load signage and handover.

How often should warehouse racking be inspected?

Industry practice recommends routine visual checks by trained staff and a documented expert inspection at least every 12 months, with immediate action on any upright or beam damage caused by forklift impact.
