The vast majority of retail outlets and warehouses will utilise racking and shelving as part of their storage solution. In fact; you would be hard pressed to find a shop or warehouse anywhere that doesn't contain some racking and shelving. However, the application of these useful storage options isn't only limited to these specific environments. Indeed, there unlimited working and recreational environments where they could be employed and would serve to make life easier. Here we consider three of the more unusual places you may find racking and shelving with the aim of helping you broaden your horizons on its possible uses.
The world of paintballing
Paintballing is already a popular sport and one that ever more people are taking up as time as time goes by. The high volume of customers that are now going 'through the doors' of paintballing businesses means that companies have had to become more organised and professional. As a result many of them now use racking and shelving to hold the various bits of equipment that paintballing entails. As well as streamlining the process of getting customers ready to take part in the pastime, the storage options also serve to keep equipment away from the often wet and muddy ground.
Sports storage
Many sports involve the use of various bits of sporting equipment. For example the team sport of hockey requires such items as sticks and padding for the goalkeeper. Then there are individual sports where contestants use items such as; javelins, pole vaults and of course hurdles. All of these bits of equipment need storing and as such sports clubs and schools tend to make use of racking and shelving. Where establishments only have small cubby holes in which to store their sports based equipment; racking and shelving can prove to be essential.
In an aeroplane
Anyone who has ever travelled on an aeroplane will understand the limitations that operators are under in terms of storage space. This is why travellers are only permitted to carry a certain amount of luggage which is measureable by weight. In order to maximise the storage space that is available, operators install racking and shelving into their aeroplanes. The storage devices are mainly found in the cargo hold where the luggage is placed during travel. However, all the room in a plane is taken advantage of and shelves are also provided in the form of head height storage compartments right along the aisle.
