Distilleries Racking

cask and barrel racking

There is an increasing demand in distilleries racking from the wine & spirits industry, for racked warehouse space as many distilleries find this a much more cost-effective method than a traditional dunnage warehouse.

Generally built to a modern construction racked warehouses have a similar average temperature to dunnage but relatively lower humidity due to concrete floors. When storing spirits of any kind in casks or barrels a traditional dunnage warehouse consists of a dirt floor, thick stone walls and a deep tiled roof, which due to the thickness of the walls and ceiling plus the type of floor tends to have a fairly constant humidity. A dunnage, however, proves to be very labour intensive as there is a lack of access from mechanical equipment and machinery to the casks or barrels.

Redirack can offer a complete pallet racking service from initial site survey through to installation and yearly racking inspections & maintenance.
