Almost always, the #1 use of shelving systems is to store items that will be accessible by hand. Items may include books, boxes, and small parts. Shelving systems are usually a lighter duty system than a racking system. Meaning that it can sustain lighter weights than racks.
There are Three Types of Industrial Shelving That We Offer
Particle Board Shelving Steel Shelving Wire Shelving 
The materials your shelving is constructed from are very important because some forms of racks need to withstand more contact with heavy times than others.
The first style of shelving is particle board shelving. Easy to assemble, suitable for most warehouse applications. The only disadvantage is not being able to hold liquids because it can deteriorate the particle boards.
The second style of shelving is metal shelving. Easy to assemble, an excellent choice for storing liquids. Met0al shelving is the most expensive.
The final choice is wire shelving. Again easy to assemble, an excellent cost-effective style of shelving. The disadvantage is you can't hold small loose items that will fall through the wire mesh holes.
Made of durable steel wire, wire mesh shelving supports a considerable amount of weight and is also very lightweight, which means it is very easy to move. Because there is less surface area, wire mesh shelving is not prone to rusting or collecting dust and mold. It is the ideal choice for smaller, delicate merchandise and food.

Plan out every section of your warehouse. Work out your storage goals, ask yourself how much space does each section need? What are the specific requirements of each section that must be addressed in your design? What ways do you have to increase the area's capacity? Depending on your available floor space, the types of materials you handle, and the need for rapid accessibility, you may find one storage rack is more suitable than another.

Cantilever RacksCantilever racks have strong, steel uprights. Then angled arms come out of each post to provide the support for materials. The arms incline slightly back toward the posts to ensure goods won’t fall off. Available in both single-sided, for against a wall, or double-sided for a more central location. While these are so important for storing certain materials, they can be expensive and take up considerable warehouse floor space.
Cantilever racking is one of the best methods for storing very long items like piping, lumber, or carpeting. Cantilever racks are also excellent for holding oversized or awkwardly- impossible to hold merchandise like rolled steel, spools of wire, or coaches and other furniture.
