Roller Shelving (Gravity Feed)
Designed to optimize the “First-In, First-Out” (FIFO) requirements of Trade and Retail stores, Southward’s Roller Shelving uses gravity to ensure stock is always at the picking face.
This system is essential for high-velocity environments where stock rotation and visibility are paramount. We specialize in integrating these dynamic flow systems into your existing layout to reduce replenishment labor and eliminate the “hidden stock” issues common in traditional static shelving.
Work Benches
Our work benches are the perfect addition to any workshop, garage or shed. Either made from our long-span shelving units or pallet racking for more heavy-duty work.
Available in different heights, depths and lengths – these can be custom made according to your needs! Add a second shelf for some additional storage space.
Wire Mest decking
Wire mesh shelving gives strong support for boxes or other non-palletised loads. It also assist in uneven pallets, provides support in stacking pallets with unsecured items, and reduces risk of falling items. Wire mesh on your pallet racking improves light and airflow while reducing dust build-up.
- Safer storage
- Fire compliant design
- Better visibility of stock
- Improved airflow & hygiene
Drive-In Racking
Our drive-in racks increase your storage space considerably. They eliminate picking aisles and are ideal for storing large quantities of similar pallets. The system provides safe block stacking for goods that are too fragile to be stacked directly on top of each other. There are three types of drive-in racks, depending on the load and unload procedure and the accessibility:
- Single drive-in racking
- Double drive-in racking
- Drive through
Pallet Racking
Single selective pallet racking
Our pallet racking system consists of a full range of basic components and accessories to fulfill all your racking requirements. The system is designed for the optimised storage of goods of all sizes and weights. All frames, beams, supports, etc. are powder coated or pre-galvanised steel finish. Our manufacturer goes to great lengths to ensure quality, strength and anti-corrosion features.
The boltless connection allows for quick and efficient assembly. Bracing can be added to the racking system to increase the load capacity of the frames, making this a very versatile storage system.
Double deep racking
Double deep with double deep racking, products can be stored up to four pallets deep, allowing for rapid dispatch for large pallets of similar size. Allows for higher storage density with stock remaining easy to access and relatively quick to pick.
- High storage density, stock remains easy to access and relatively quick to pick
- Products can be stored up to four pallets deep
- Allows for rapid dispatch for large pallets of similar size
- Batch-in, batch-out process (FIFO)
- Increases capacity from Selective Racking by approximately 30%
Mezzanine Floors and Raised Storage Solutions
Unlock the potential of your unused overhead space with Southward’s Mezzanine and Raised Storage solutions, applicable across all sectors.
We help businesses in Retail, 3PL, and Manufacturing double their usable floor area without the need for costly building expansions.
Southward specializes in the seamless integration of these structures, providing turnkey engineering that incorporates stairs, pallet gates, and safety railings to turn vertical space into high-value operational zones.
2-way Shuttle Racking
The Pallet Shuttle is a deep lane storage and retrieval system. It is a carrier used to move pallets within a specifically designed racking structure, thus optimizing the storage capacity.
The pallet shuttle system consists in a specific rack and a mobile shuttle. This shuttle is a self-powered device that runs on rails in the storage lanes for the loading and unloading of pallets. It is transported to its location at the front or the back of a lane (in case of open back side) by a standard forklift.
Once at its home position, the shuttle performs the loading and uploading tasks without any human intervention
4-way Shuttle Systems
For high-velocity Horticulture, Dairy, F&B, and 3PL facilities, Southward offers 4-way Shuttle systems the pinnacle of flexible automation. Unlike traditional shuttles, these units can navigate both cross-aisles and deep-lanes, providing 100% accessibility to every pallet location.
Southward’s specialization in these sophisticated systems allows for massive scalability and “lights-out” operation, ensuring your warehouse is ready for the 24/7 demands of the modern supply chain.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Southward’s AS/RS solutions are designed for the most demanding Horticulture, F&B, and 3PL environments where precision and speed are non-negotiable.
By fully automating the storage and retrieval process, we eliminate human error and maximize vertical height far beyond the reach of conventional forklifts. Our specialization lies in high-bay engineering, providing a fully integrated solution that transforms your warehouse into a high-performance, automated engine of efficiency.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV)
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) transform warehouse operations by streamlining material movement, reducing manual handling, and improving overall productivity.
AMRs navigate dynamically using advanced sensors, adapting to real‑time changes in the environment, while AGVs provide fast, predictable, and reliable transport along fixed routes.
Together, they minimise downtime, enhance safety, lower labour costs, and create a more scalable, efficient workflow—helping modern warehouses move smarter, faster, and with greater accuracy.
Autonomous Industrial Robot Floor Cleaners
Hygiene is a cornerstone of the Horticulture, Dairy, and F&B industries, and essential for large-scale 3PL hubs. Southward provides autonomous floor cleaning robots that ensure your facility remains pristine 24/7 without manual intervention.
We specialize in integrating these units into automated workflows, ensuring that your high-tech warehouse remains safe, clean, and compliant with the strictest industry health and safety standards.
Warehouse Management System
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is software designed to control and optimise day-to-day warehouse operations, from receiving and storing goods to picking, packing, and dispatch. It provides real-time visibility of inventory, ensuring accurate stock levels and better decision-making.
By automating manual processes, a WMS reduces errors, improves efficiency, and speeds up order fulfilment. It also helps maximise storage space and streamline workflows across the warehouse.
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Improved accuracy & reduced errors
- Faster picking, packing, and shipping
- Better space utilisation and workflow management
