Indicative ranges from recent Singapore installations: V3000 selective S$380–S$650 per bay, V5000 S$650–S$1,000 per bay and V8000 S$900–S$1,400 per bay. Every price on this page is indicative and confirmed after a site survey, and the initial survey is free for serious enquiries.
The same selective bay can vary by 50–80% depending on the load case.
That is why we publish ranges instead of one flat price per bay. A range is good for two things: setting a budget before you speak to anyone, and checking whether a quotation you already hold is in the right territory. It is not a quotation. A price given before anyone has seen your pallets, your forklift and your slab is a price for a bay nobody has measured.
The initial site survey is free for serious enquiries. We measure the floor, check the slab, log the forklift's turning radius and go through your SKU and pallet mix, then send a written quotation with itemised pricing.
Choosing the system rather than pricing it? Start with pallet racking systems. This page is about the money.
Indicative ranges from recent Singapore installations, confirmed after a site survey. On our V-series the number in the name is the rated load per beam level in kilograms: V3000 carries up to 3,000 kg per level.
Up to 3,000 kg per beam level. The most-installed class in our catalogue, suiting typical Singapore 3PL and FMCG pallet operations.
Up to 5,000 kg per beam level. For heavier pallets: drinks, raw materials, packaged FMCG over 1.5 t each.
Up to 8,000 kg per beam level. Oversized pallets, drums, raw steel, machinery components and automotive parts.
Simply 20 bays × S$380–S$650 per bay, to show the scale. Your own figure comes from the site survey, not from this sum.
We do not publish ranges for V6000 or V10000. Like everything else, they are quoted after a site survey.
Across load case, height, beam length and seismic class, the same selective bay can run from S$380 to S$1,200. Finish and the floor fixing move it as well. None of it can be judged from a phone call, which is why we survey first.
The decision that moves the price most. We size racking against the heaviest pallet you actually run, not the average, and design to the real-world rating: 70–80% of the catalogue figure once impact damage, off-centre loading and corrosion are allowed for.
A taller bay carries more beam levels, and racks above certain heights need PE-stamped structural calculations. When they do, we coordinate the PE stamp and the paperwork in-house.
Beam length follows your pallets. We size the beam length and the pallet overhang during the survey, and non-standard pallet sizes (long, square, half-pallet) are common enough that we design around them.
Tall, heavily loaded installations can call for seismic bracing. The seismic class is one of the reasons the same selective bay spans such a wide range.
Standard is powder-coat in Wong Lye red and yellow, with other RAL colours on request. A wet or outdoor environment calls for a more durable protective finish or galvanised components; cold room and chiller racking explains the choice.
On the heavier classes the base-plate fixings are sized to the actual slab capacity. Drive-in and VNA put higher point loads through the base plates, and sometimes the slab needs reinforcement or thicker base plates. We check before quoting.
Drive-in, VNA and heavy-duty systems cost more than a standard selective bay, because of material weight, precision tolerances and installation time. What the extra buys is density, and the trade-off is different for each.
Double-deep stores pallets two deep, halves the number of aisles and lifts density 30–40% over selective. It keeps the same upright specification as selective, but it needs reach trucks with telescopic forks, and the back pallet is blocked by the front one.
Drive-in gives the highest density per square metre of any pallet racking type, up to 60% more than selective, for bulk same-SKU storage. It runs last-in-first-out, and like VNA it puts higher point loads through the base plates.
VNA narrows the aisles from 3.5–4.0 m to 1.6–1.8 m and lifts pallet positions 40–50% over selective while keeping every pallet accessible. Beyond the racking it needs wire- or rail-guided VNA trucks, an indicative S$80k–S$250k each, and a floor prepared flat to SS DM2. It pays that back through the floor space it recovers.
Every system is described on pallet racking systems, and drive-in or double-deep sets out how to choose between the two dense options. Short of floor rather than height? Mezzanine floors cover the raised-floor route.
Typical for a selective install, from signed quotation to handover.
About one week for the layout and the structural sign-off.
Two to three weeks in our Singapore workshop.
One to two weeks, by our own crew.
Add two to three weeks for VNA truck procurement and flat-floor verification.
When racking is the wrong buy. Our smallest installs are 20–50 pallet positions. With a budget under about S$5,000 the scope usually does not justify a site survey, and if the stock is cartons and parts loaded by hand, boltless shelving carries up to 200 kg per level. In that case we point you to a few local shelving suppliers rather than sell you racking you do not need. Boltless shelving vs pallet racking sets out how to decide.
What to send. Quotations are more accurate, and easier to compare, when every supplier works from the same information. Put this on one page:
Then ask each supplier to state in writing the rated load per beam level and per bay they designed to. When two quotes differ a lot in price, that line usually explains why. Pallet racking load capacity covers how to work out the load class first.
Tell us your heaviest pallet weight, how many pallets per level and how many levels, your floor area and ceiling height, and your forklift type. We come and survey, then quote in writing.
