Warehouse Storage & Racking for Logistics

Warehouses and logistics operations in Malaysia — from 3PL providers in Port Klang to e-commerce fulfilment centres in Shah Alam and manufacturing warehouses in Johor — depend on organised, safe and space-efficient storage. Tanko's industrial range covers mould racks for heavy tooling, shelving for general inventory, hanger racks for long items and parts cabinets for small-parts control — all engineered for industrial use.

Mould racks: heavy vertical storage

Injection moulders, die casters and manufacturing plants store heavy moulds and dies that ordinary shelving cannot safely carry. Tanko's mould racks use support arms so each mould slides in and out on its own level, protecting mould faces and allowing crane or hoist access. Two- and three-column configurations handle production moulds of varying weights. For Malaysian factories running injection moulding, this is the difference between organised tooling and a floor piled with moulds.

Shelving: general inventory & bulk storage

General warehouse shelving handles packaging materials, finished goods, spare parts and consumables. Tanko's industrial shelving offers adjustable levels, steel construction and load ratings matched to the inventory. For logistics and distribution centres, organised shelving reduces picking time and improves inventory accuracy. For manufacturing warehouses, it stores raw materials, WIP and finished goods in clearly defined zones.

Hanger racks: long & awkward items

Not everything stores on a shelf. Long tools, pipes, extrusions and awkward items need hanger racks — frames with perforated panels and hooks that keep long items visible, accessible and off the floor. Tanko's hanger racks are used in maintenance shops, construction supply and manufacturing stores to organise items that would otherwise lean against walls or lie across aisles — a safety hazard and a picking inefficiency.

Parts cabinets: small-parts control

Warehouses and maintenance stores carry thousands of small items — fasteners, fittings, electrical components, spare parts. Parts cabinets with transparent or labelled drawers keep these items visible, countable and organised. Tilt-out bins and hanging bins add flexibility for high-turnover items. For Malaysian warehouses running cycle counts and inventory audits, organised small-parts storage reduces discrepancies and speeds stock checks.

Industries within warehouse & logistics

  • 3PL & distribution centres — shelving and parts storage for organised picking.
  • E-commerce fulfilment — fast-pick shelving and small-parts organisation.
  • Manufacturing warehouses — mould racks, shelving and WIP storage.
  • Maintenance & engineering stores — parts cabinets, hanger racks and tool storage.

  • Cold storage & food warehouses — stainless steel options for hygienic environments.

Safety & compliance

Warehouse safety in Malaysia is governed by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). Proper storage reduces the risk of falling items, blocked aisles and manual handling injuries. Mould racks with proper load ratings, shelving anchored correctly and hanger racks that keep long items off the floor all contribute to a safer warehouse. Documented load ratings and organised storage also support insurance and audit requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between mould racks and ordinary shelving?

Mould racks use support arms so each mould slides in and out on its own level, designed for the concentrated point loads of injection moulds and die sets. Ordinary shelving is for distributed loads like boxes and general inventory. Moulds should never be stored on ordinary shelving.

Can you provide warehouse layout advice?

Yes. Send us your warehouse dimensions, inventory types and estimated weights, and we'll recommend a layout covering mould racks, shelving, hanger racks and parts storage with aisle widths and zoning.

What weight can industrial shelving hold?

Load ratings depend on the shelving model and level configuration. Tanko's industrial shelving is rated for industrial use — confirm the exact rating against your heaviest items before ordering. We can specify the right model for your inventory.

Do you supply storage for cold rooms and food warehouses?

Yes. Stainless steel shelving and cabinets are available for cold storage and food warehouse environments, where corrosion resistance and hygiene are required.
