What is large compartment racking?
Wide storage bays for goods outside standard pallet dimensions
Large compartment racking, also known as wide-bay racking, is a warehouse racking system with wide bays for goods that do not fit on a standard Euro pallet. Think of long bars, tubes, sheets, profiles or other bulk items with irregular dimensions.
Compared to pallet racking, large compartment racking offers more freedom in bay width and configuration. The racking is modular, so height, width and depth can be tailored to your space and product range.

Benefits
Benefits of large compartment racking
- A fixed storage location for large and irregular goods
- Less risk of damage and better overview
- Optimal use of both floor space and warehouse height
- Expandable when your range or warehouse changes
Long, heavy or irregular goods get a clear and safe storage location. This improves organisation and helps prevent damage on the shop floor.
The robust construction is tailored to the load per bay. Thanks to its modular design, the racking can also grow along with a changing product range or a new warehouse layout.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about this solution
What is large compartment racking and when is it the best choice?
Large compartment racking is a warehouse racking system with wide bays for goods that do not fit on a standard Euro pallet. The system is particularly suitable for long, irregularly shaped or heavy products.
What is the difference between large compartment racking and pallet racking?
Pallet racking is primarily designed around pallet dimensions. Large compartment racking offers wider bays and more freedom in size for products that fall outside that standard.
What is the difference between large compartment racking and support bracket racking?
Support bracket racking has no fixed bay base and is mainly intended for long materials. Large compartment racking does have a base or supports per level and is suitable for loose or stacked goods with irregular dimensions.
Which products is large compartment racking suitable for?
Examples include metal bars, tubes, wooden beams, glass sheets, building materials and bulk items. The configuration is tailored to product dimensions and working methods.
How much weight can large compartment racking carry?
Load capacity depends on the configuration, including bay width, steel type and frame height. Cor Verkolf calculates the construction based on the actual load.
What does large compartment racking cost?
The price depends on bay width, number of levels, frame height, load capacity, customisation and the choice between new or used. After an assessment, a tailored quote is drawn up.
