Mobile racking mounts standard pallet racking onto motorised bases that move along floor tracks. By eliminating fixed aisles and replacing them with a single shared access aisle that opens on demand, mobile racking delivers the highest storage density of any racking system available.
It’s suited to operations where floor space is extremely limited, or where cold storage costs make minimising refrigerated volume critical. Absolute Storage Systems designs and installs mobile racking across Victoria, configured to your floor loading, forklift type and stock profile.

Mobile racking uses the same selective racking frames and beams you’d find in a standard system, mounted on motorised bases that run along rails embedded in the floor. The bases move electrically, creating a single access aisle between whichever two rows you need to work in. All other rows remain closed, eliminating dead aisle space across the rest of the system.
The result is significantly more pallet positions in the same floor area compared to fixed racking. The trade-off is access speed: only one aisle can be open at a time, so it suits operations where throughput allows for sequential access rather than simultaneous picking in multiple aisles. Floor loading requirements also need to be assessed before installation, since the combined weight of bases, racking and pallets is substantially higher than a standard racking system.
Mobile racking involves more complex installation than standard racking, floor track embedding, electrical base installation and load calculations all need to be right before a single pallet goes in.
We assess your floor loading, stock profile, throughput requirements and forklift type to confirm mobile racking is the right fit.
We design the base configuration, track layout and racking system around your floor plan and operational needs.
Floor tracks are embedded and bases installed before the racking system is erected and commissioned.
We test base movement, safety sensors and racking stability before handover.
We provide racking audits, maintenance and base servicing as your system ages.
When every square metre of floor space is accounted for and standard racking has already been optimised, mobile racking is the logical next step. It removes the one thing fixed racking can’t: the aisles themselves.
If you’ve maximised your fixed racking and still need more capacity, mobile racking is worth a conversation. Our team can assess your floor, throughput and stock profile, contact us to get started.
Standard selective racking uses fixed aisles between every row. Mobile racking mounts the same racking on motorised bases, eliminating fixed aisles and creating a single shared aisle that opens between whichever rows you need to access.
Floor tracks need to be embedded during installation, and the floor’s load-bearing capacity needs to be assessed before design. The combined weight of bases, racking and pallets is substantially higher than a standard racking system, so a structural assessment is essential.
Yes, aisle widths are configured to suit your specific forklift type during the design stage.
Yes. Mobile racking operates with a single shared access aisle. This suits operations with sequential picking requirements rather than simultaneous multi-aisle access.
As per the Australian Standard (AS4084:2023), pallet racking audits are now mandatory and must be completed every 12 months.
