Looking for the largest, most versatile, and cost-effective warehouse solution? A Rack Clad Warehouse from BHD QLD offers an innovative and affordable alternative to traditional warehouse buildings. We specialise in the design and installation of tailored high bay warehouses, crafted to meet your specific storage needs while maximising both capacity and operational efficiency.
What is a Rack Clad Warehouse?
A Rack Clad Warehouse is a sophisticated storage system where the racking itself forms the structural framework of the building.
Rather than relying on traditional vertical beams to support the roof and walls, the racking structure carries both the building’s load and the stored goods.
This unique design maximises the use of floor and vertical space, allowing for the construction of warehouses up to 30 metres high, depending on local regulations.
Key Features & Benefits of a Rack Clad Warehouse
Maximised Storage Capacity
Rack Clad Warehouses integrate racking systems directly into the building structure, significantly increasing storage space. This design allows you to make the most of your surface area and vertical space, resulting in high-density storage without the need for additional materials.
Cost-Effective and Customisable
The racking system supports not only the stored goods but also the building's envelope while withstanding external forces like wind and rain, reducing the need for civil engineering work. This speeds up assembly, lowers costs, and offers customisation to meet specific storage and environmental needs.
Scalable and Durable Design
Constructed with our high-quality and robust steel racking products, Rack Clad Warehouses offer long-term durability and the ability to expand both vertically and horizontally. This scalability ensures your storage infrastructure can grow alongside your business without the need for costly rebuilds.
Optimised Operations and Workflow
Rack Clad Warehouses feature wide aisles between racks, allowing for easy access and efficient movement of forklifts and other equipment. This design improves site logistics, optimises vehicle and pedestrian access, and enhances WH&S compliance, reducing the risk of accidents.
Enhanced Weather Protection
The integrated racking and cladding system ensures that both the structure and inventory are protected from extreme weather conditions, including wind, rain, and intense sunlight. This weather resistance ensures longevity and safety for stored goods, protecting your valueable investments.
Quality Assurance & Compliance
At BHD QLD, quality is paramount.
Every Clad Rack Warehouse we design and manufacture undergoes rigorous quality assurance inspections throughout the construction process.
This ensures that the final structure meets all relevant industry safety and quality standards, offering peace of mind that your warehouse is built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
A rack clad warehouse is a type of building where the racking system serves as the primary structural framework. The racking supports its own weight, the weight of stored goods, as well as the roof and external cladding. It can also handle forces from wind, handling equipment, and roof loads like hail.
Rack clad warehouses are ideal when you need fast construction and significant cost savings compared to traditional building methods. They maximise available floor space, regardless of building height, and are an excellent choice for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and distribution.
The civil work for a rack clad warehouse is minimal, generally limited to laying a concrete slab foundation and, if necessary, building a perimeter sealing wall.
The main storage systems used in Rack Clad Warehouses are pallet racking and cantilever racking, or a combination of both, depending on the types of items you're storing. Pallet Racking is ideal for standard palletised goods, while Cantilever Racking is well-suited for long or bulky items like pipes and timber. Pigeon hole racking is also an option for organising smaller or irregularly shaped items.
The construction of Rack Clad Warehouses can be up to 30 metres high, depending on local regulations
and the reach of handling equipment.
Yes, rack clad warehouses are highly efficient for cold and freezer storage. The design ensures that only the necessary space is cooled, resulting in energy efficiency and cost savings.
