Thornel Associates, Inc. provides industrial racking systems that improve warehouse efficiency, maximize storage space, and support safe material handling. From small operations to large-scale facilities, their racking systems offer solutions for storing a wide range of products, including standard warehouse pallets, heavy goods, and oversized materials. Every option is built with durability and flexibility in mind to help meet specific operational requirements.
Selective Pallet Rack
Selective pallet racking is one of the most widely used industrial racking systems for facilities that require direct access to each warehouse pallet. Adjustable beams allow the configuration to match varying load sizes, while the design provides excellent visibility for inventory control. This rack style is well-suited for high-turnover products and can adapt as storage needs change.
Drive-In / Drive-Through Rack
Drive-in and drive-through racks provide high-density storage for operations handling large quantities of identical products. Forklifts can enter the storage lanes to place or retrieve pallets, allowing several warehouse pallets to be stored in depth. These racking systems are ideal for cold storage facilities and bulk inventory applications.
Push Back Rack
Push back racks are a smart choice for operations that need a balance between storage density and accessibility. Pallets are loaded on inclined rails, and when a front pallet is removed, the others automatically move forward. This setup supports LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) inventory management and is often used for products with medium turnover rates within industrial racking systems.
Bulk Rack
Bulk racks are a durable solution for items too large or heavy for standard shelving but do not require full pallet storage. With a strong stud and keyhole construction, these racks can support heavy loads while remaining easy to assemble. Bulk racks are ideal for auto parts, retail backrooms, and small warehouse pallet storage.
Carton Flow Rack
Carton flow racks use gravity-fed rollers or wheels to move cartons from the loading side to the picking side. This style of racking systems supports FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory rotation, making it a strong fit for distribution centers, order fulfillment operations, and applications where SKU visibility is important.
Wire Deck
Wire decking reinforces pallet racks by creating a secure surface for loads. The open mesh design improves safety and allows for better fire sprinkler penetration. Wire deck systems are compatible with most warehouse pallet racks and help reduce the risk of products falling through gaps.
Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack
The heavy duty cantilever rack is made for storing long, bulky, or irregularly shaped materials. With no front columns, these racks allow forklifts or manual handlers to load and unload easily from the front. Adjustable arms provide flexibility for various load sizes. This industrial racking system is often used for lumber, steel pipes, furniture, and other oversized goods.
Stacking Rack
Stacking racks are portable and allow for temporary high-density storage without permanent installation. They can be stacked up to six units high, each capable of holding thousands of pounds. These racks eliminate the need for wooden warehouse pallets in some applications, offering a reusable and space-saving option.
Placard Label System & Label Holders
Organized storage relies on clear labeling. Thornel offers placard label systems and holders in magnetic, adhesive, and protective designs. These solutions fit seamlessly with all types of racking systems, improving warehouse navigation and efficiency.
