Construction Industry Racking & Storage Solutions
Specialist racking for timber, steel, pipework, palletised materials and mixed load construction yards and improving safety, access and space utilisation throughout.
Tailored Storage Systems for the Construction Industry
In the fast-paced world of construction, efficient, safe, and flexible storage solutions are no longer optional, it is essential. At S.E.M.CO we understand the unique challenges of construction site logistics, whether it be long length materials, bulky palletised goods, limited space, on site safety requirements or constantly shifting operational demands.
With our extensive manufacturing capabilities and deep sector experience, we deliver racking and storage systems that keep your site organised, your materials accessible and your team productive.
Solutions for Construction Industry Storage
Cantilever Racking Systems
For long length materials such as timber, pipework, steel beams and extrusion profiles, S.E.M.CO’s cantilever racking is the ideal choice. It features free-standing arms and optional horizontal rail beams, allowing uninterrupted shelf spans and accommodating oversized loads with ease. By keeping materials off the ground and neatly organised, you get better visibility, faster retrieval and safer stacking.
Pallet Racking Systems
Palletised goods are a staple of construction logistics. From boxed fixings and components to bulk bags and render sacks. Our pallet racking systems offer:
A range of upright and beam profiles to suit various load weights and sizes.
Easy access to every pallet to streamline store-in and retrieval operations.
Designed to make entire warehouse or yard layouts more efficient, increasing overall throughput.
Bespoke & Hybrid Solutions
Every construction site is different. Whether you have mixed loads, want combined pallet and cantilever racking, or need bespoke footprints tailored to yard layouts, S.E.M.CO can design and manufacture accordingly. From heavy-duty frames to providing compatible solutions, we deliver what your site demands.
End-to-end Service
From the initial enquiry to site survey, CAD designing, in‑house manufacturing, SEIRS-accredited installation and SEMA Approved Racking Inspection & maintenance, we offer all this and more as your business and safety is our priority.

Key Benefits For Your Industry
- Materials such as timber, steel bars, scaffolding and pipes take up valuable linear and vertical space. The right system ensures you use your ground & upright space efficiently, while freeing up valuable floor area for operations.
- Good racking prevents material overloads, uncontrolled stacking and unorganised storage, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- When materials are stored logically and accessibly, handling time drops, productivity rises and delays get minimised.
- Construction projects evolve: material types change, demand fluctuates, and storage locations may shift. Our systems are designed to adapt.

FAQs - Construction Industry Racking
What types of racking systems are best for a construction site?
For long lengths use cantilever racking. For palletised goods use selective pallet racking. Often a hybrid mix is best to cover both long‑length and palletised loads.
How do I decide between cantilever and pallet racking?
Decide by primary load type: long, awkward items favour cantilever; boxed or palletised inventory suits pallet racking. A site survey helps choose the optimal mix.
Can your racking be installed outdoors or on uneven ground?
Yes, with appropriate foundations, base plates and anchoring, plus corrosion‑resistant finishes for outdoor exposure.
Your Needs Do Not Match Our Standard Range?
Our bespoke design and manufacturing service allows us to engineer custom racking systems tailored exactly to your storage challenges.
