Are you running out of warehouse space but facing the prohibitive cost of relocation or expansion in Australia? Every square metre of unproductive aisle space is a drain on your profitability. It’s time to reclaim that wasted area and transform it into valuable storage capacity.
Vinatech’s Mobile Racking System is an intelligent, high-density storage solution that can increase your storage capacity by up to 90% within your existing footprint. By eliminating static aisles, this motorised system allows you to store more products, reduce operational costs, and dramatically improve warehouse efficiency.
What is a Mobile Racking System?
A Mobile Racking System, also known as mobile pallet racking, consists of conventional pallet racks mounted onto heavy-duty motorised bases. These bases move smoothly along rails installed in the floor, compacting the racking together and eliminating the need for multiple, permanent access aisles.
The core principle is simple but revolutionary: instead of numerous fixed aisles, the system creates a single “floating” aisle that opens only when and where an operator needs to access a specific pallet. With a simple command from a remote control, the desired aisle is created, providing 100% direct access to every single pallet. Once the task is complete, the aisle can be closed, returning the space to productive storage.

The Vinatech Advantage: Key Benefits for Your Operation
Implementing a Vinatech Mobile Racking solution delivers a powerful return on investment by addressing the most critical operational challenges: space, cost, and efficiency.
Dramatically Increase Storage Capacity
By converting wasted aisle space into usable storage, our mobile racking can nearly double your storage capacity. This allows you to consolidate inventory, support business growth, and avoid the significant capital expenditure and disruption associated with moving to a larger facility.
Reduce Operational and Energy Costs
A more compact storage footprint directly translates into lower operating costs. Your team spends less time travelling between picks, boosting productivity. For cold and freezer storage applications, the benefits are even greater. A smaller refrigerated area means significantly lower energy consumption for cooling, leading to substantial savings on your power bills.
Maintain 100% Pallet Accessibility
Unlike some high-density systems that limit access, Vinatech’s Mobile Racking ensures every pallet remains fully and individually accessible. This selectivity is crucial for operations with a diverse range of SKUs, allowing for efficient picking and stock rotation without compromising on storage density.
Uncompromising Safety and Control
Our systems are engineered with safety as the top priority. They are equipped with advanced safety features, including photo-eye sensors, emergency stop buttons, and anti-collision systems to protect your staff and equipment. The intuitive smart remote control system makes operation simple, safe, and efficient.

How a Vinatech Mobile Racking System Works
Our mobile racking solution combines robust engineering with advanced control technology for reliable, smooth, and safe operation.
The system is built on several key components working in unison:
- Robust Pallet Racking: The core structure is our high-quality pallet racking, engineered to meet the demanding AS 4084-2023 Australian Standard.
- Motorised Mobile Bases: Each rack run is mounted on a heavy-duty, electrically powered mobile base, equipped with powerful motors (0.4-0.75 KW) for moving loads up to 36,000 kg per bay.
- Precision Floor Rails: High-quality rails are precisely installed into your warehouse floor, ensuring smooth, stable, and perfectly aligned movement of the racking.
- Advanced Safety & Control Systems: An intuitive control panel, along with handheld remotes, allows operators to open aisles with the push of a button. A network of sensors ensures the system operates safely at all times.

FAQ about Mobile Racking System
A mobile racking system is a high-density storage solution where racking units are mounted on movable bases that slide along floor-mounted rails. This allows aisles to open only when needed, maximising storage capacity.
Mobile racking systems operate by moving entire rows of racks on motorised or manual bases. When access is required, the system creates an aisle by shifting racks apart, allowing forklifts or operators to retrieve goods.
Mobile racking systems maximise storage space, reduce the need for multiple aisles, improve warehouse organisation, and enhance security by limiting access to specific aisles only.
Mobile racking systems are widely used in cold storage, logistics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, archives, and manufacturing industries where space optimisation is critical.
Yes, mobile racking is highly suitable for cold storage as it reduces the number of aisles, increases storage density, and minimises energy loss in temperature-controlled environments.
Mobile racking eliminates fixed aisles by allowing racks to move, while traditional pallet racking requires permanent aisles. This makes mobile systems more space-efficient but slightly slower for access.
The load capacity depends on system design, rail structure, and materials used. Mobile racking systems are typically designed for heavy-duty pallet loads and must comply with Australian Standard AS 4084.
Mobile racking systems move on floor-mounted rails using electric motors or manual push mechanisms. Advanced systems can be controlled via remote control or automated control panels.
Installation time depends on warehouse size and system complexity. Small systems may take a few days, while larger installations can take several weeks.
Mobile racking systems are highly durable, built from heavy-duty steel components designed to withstand industrial use. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years.
Regular maintenance includes checking rails, motors, control systems, and structural components. Routine inspections help ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Yes, mobile racking is ideal for warehouses with limited space because it reduces aisle requirements and significantly increases storage capacity within the same footprint.
The lifespan of a mobile racking system can range from 10 to 20 years or more, depending on usage, maintenance, and operating conditions.
Choosing the right supplier involves evaluating experience, product quality, compliance with safety standards, installation capabilities, and after-sales support.
Mobile racking systems are commonly installed in cold storage facilities, distribution centres, pharmaceutical warehouses, archives, and any operation requiring high-density storage.
