S.E.M.CO's Racking Solutions For Timber Merchants
Cantilever Racking
S.E.M.CO Cantilever Racks are often used for storage of large quantities of Hardwood, Softwood and Carcassing Timber. Picking is often carried out manually at lower levels and via trucks lowering packs down for product selection from higher levels. Designed with single or double-sided options available and galvanised finishes for external use.
Pigeon Hole Racking
Ideal for PSE (planed square edge) timber, mouldings, or decorative trim. This racking solution reduces damage and keeps order-picking efficient for smaller lines.
Vertical Storage (A-Frame Racking )
Stand-up storage for panels and sheet materials to free up floor space and simplify manual picking.
Design, Manufacture & Installation
From the initial site survey and visuals crafted by our in-house design engineering team to SEIRS installation and a SEMA Approved Racking inspection, we manage all our projects in-house from start to finish and do not outsource any tasks, giving you peace of mind of your project being done to the best possible standard and also being compliant with the latest health and safety standards.

FAQs - Timber Merchants Racking
What types of racking systems are best for timber merchants?
Cantilever racking for long lengths, pigeon-hole for smaller profiles and vertical/A-frame for panels and sheets. Choice depends on handling (forklift vs manual), selectivity and space.
Is galvanised racking necessary for timber stored outside?
Galvanising significantly increases corrosion resistance in exposed yards. For timber merchants storing outside, galvanised components are strongly recommended.
Can I expand my racking later if my product range grows?
Absolutely. Our systems are modular and designed for future expansion. Additional bays, arms and accessories can be added to match growth.
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.
