Notes from the Workshop

What we're learning across 500+ Singapore warehouse installations — and what we wish more operations managers knew before they signed a racking quote.

Welcome to the Wong Lye Racking Journal

Notes from the workshop

This is where we share what we are learning — from the projects we work on, the problems we help warehouse managers solve, and the patterns we see across hundreds of site surveys.

We are Wong Lye Pte Ltd — a Singapore racking manufacturer fabricating and installing Selective, Drive-In, Double-Deep, VNA, Cantilever and Mezzanine systems for warehouses, factories and 3PL operators since 2003. This journal is how we help the next operations manager evaluating their first racking quote.

Expect articles on:

  • Selective vs Drive-In vs Double-Deep — the real cost of getting it wrong
  • VNA conversions — when the maths actually works
  • Mezzanine BCA / SCDF submission gotchas
  • Rack inspection under SS EN 15635 — what we actually check
  • Cold-chain racking — the failure modes that catch operators by surprise
  • When repair beats replacement (and when it doesn't)

If there's a question you wish a racking supplier would answer honestly, send us a WhatsApp message. We turn the most common questions into articles.
