Do You Install Pallet Racking In Cambridge And The Surrounding Area?
Yes. We install pallet racking systems across Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire region, including Huntingdon, Ely, St Ives, St Neots and Royston. We also cover neighbouring areas such as Peterborough, Newmarket and Saffron Walden, making us well placed to support warehousing and distribution operations across the East of England.
What Types Of Pallet Racking Do You Supply And Install In Cambridge?
We supply and install the full range of pallet racking systems, including selective pallet racking, drive-in racking, push-back racking, narrow aisle racking, mobile racking and cantilever racking. We also offer industrial shelving, longspan shelving and mezzanine floors. Whether you operate a small warehouse unit on Cowley Road Industrial Estate or a larger distribution facility near the A14 corridor, we'll design a system around your specific requirements.
Why is Cambridge Such An Attractive Location For Warehousing And Distribution Businesses?
Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area offer strong logistics credentials, particularly for businesses that rely on freight moving through the Port of Felixstowe.
The A14 provides a direct route east to Felixstowe and west towards the M1 and M6, making Cambridge a practical base for import and export supply chains. Key industrial and logistics locations in the area include Nuffield Road Industrial Estate, Kings Hedges, Waterbeach and the growing St Ives and Huntingdon logistics corridors along the A14 and A141.
Additionally, the presence of major life sciences, pharmaceutical and technology employers across the Cambridge Science Park and Granta Park drives consistent demand for efficient warehousing and storage solutions in the region.
How Much Does Pallet Racking Installation Cost In Cambridge?
The cost of pallet racking installation varies depending on the system type, the size of your warehouse and the complexity of the layout. Selective pallet racking is generally the most cost-effective option for businesses with standard palletised goods and good forklift access, while high-density systems such as drive-in or mobile racking carry a higher upfront cost but significantly increase storage capacity. We offer free site surveys and no-obligation quotes, so contact us today to get an accurate figure for your Cambridge warehouse.
Do You Carry Out Racking Inspections In Cambridge?
Yes. In addition to installation, we provide racking inspections across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. Regular inspections are a legal requirement under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) and are strongly recommended by the HSE for any warehouse where racking is subject to regular forklift traffic. We recommend a minimum of one formal inspection per year, with in-house monitoring carried out on a weekly basis by a trained member of your team.
Can You Help With A New Warehouse Fit Out In Cambridge?
Of course! If you are moving into a new unit or expanding your existing operation (i.e. on Nuffield Road, Waterbeach Business Park or similar sites across Cambridgeshire) we can carry out a full site survey and produce a detailed racking layout tailored to your space and throughput requirements. We can manage the entire process from initial design through to installation, minimising disruption to your operation throughout.
Do You Work With Life Sciences And Pharmaceutical Businesses In Cambridge?
Yes. Cambridge has one of the highest concentrations of life sciences and pharmaceutical businesses in the UK, with major clusters at Cambridge Science Park, Babraham Research Campus and Granta Park.
At Logical Storage Solutions, we have experience designing and installing racking solutions for businesses operating in regulated environments, including systems that support organised, traceable stock management. From our experience, we know that having this expertise is an important consideration for businesses handling high-value or temperature-sensitive inventory.
