In the agricultural industry and on any farm, there are certain tools farmers simply cannot do without. Whether stepping into a workshop, shed or office on the farm, effective storage is always an essential part of keeping operations running smoothly.

With decades of experience in designing and supplying industrial storage systems, Krost Shelving & Racking offers tailored solutions that help farmers, packhouses and co-ops make better use of space, protect valuable stock and streamline daily operations.

Manufactured for the agricultural industry

Agricultural operations are diverse by nature. A grain farmer’s storage needs differ vastly from those of a fruit packhouse, a livestock feed operation or a warehouse. Krost’s strength lies in understanding these realities and translating them into practical, fit-for-purpose storage systems.

From fertiliser and seed storage to irrigation components, spare parts, packaging materials and finished produce, Krost’s storage solutions are manufactured to handle heavy loads and demanding environments.

Krost’s offering includes, but is not limited to:

Selective storage and pallet racking

Selective pallet racking remains one of the most versatile solutions for agricultural warehouses and sheds. It allows direct access to every pallet, making it ideal for farms and packhouses managing multiple product lines, seasonal inputs or varying batch sizes.

Very narrow aisle (VNA) racking

Where floor space is limited, the company’s VNA racking options offer maximum storage density without compromising accessibility. For agri-processors and distributors operating from urban or compact facilities, this system delivers high-volume storage with efficient packing options.

Shuttle / mole racking

High-density shuttle racking is particularly suited to bulk agricultural commodities such as bagged feed, seed or fertiliser. By reducing aisles and optimising pallet flow, farmers and agri-suppliers can significantly increase storage capacity while improving stock rotation.

Catwalk / pick-face racking

Ideal for packhouses and parts distribution centres, catwalk and pick-face racking enable safe and efficient order picking across multiple levels. This is especially useful where high SKU counts and fast turnaround times are required.

Drive‑in / drive-thru racking

For operations storing large volumes of uniform products, drive-in and drive-thru racking provides a cost-effective, space-saving solution. It is well suited to cold rooms, fertiliser storage and seasonal bulk commodities.

Carton live / flow racking

Flow racking supports first-in‑first-out (FIFO) stock rotation, a critical factor for perishable agricultural inputs and packaging materials. Gravity-fed systems improve picking speed while reducing handling errors.

Shelving solutions for every agri environment

Not all agricultural storage involves pallets. From workshops and storerooms to offices and retail spaces, Krost offers a comprehensive range of shelving systems:

  • Bolted Shelving for heavy-duty applications
  • Rivet Shelving for quick assembly and flexibility
  • Gondola Shelving for agri-retail and co-op stores
  • Library Shelving for records, manuals and compliance documentation
  • Mobile Shelving to maximise space in compact areas
  • Warehouse Shelving for general farm and packhouse use
  • These systems help farmers keep critical tools, spares and consumables organised, accessible and protected.

Mezzanine flooring: Unlocking vertical space

As agri-businesses expand, building new infrastructure is not always the most cost-effective solution. Mezzanine flooring allows operations to double usable space by utilising height rather than footprint.

Structural mezzanine floors

Standalone mezzanines are ideal for offices, storage platforms or light production areas within existing agricultural buildings.

Rack-supported mezzanine floors

By integrating mezzanine floors directly with racking systems, Krost creates efficient, multi-level storage solutions perfectly suited to packhouses, agri-warehouses and distribution centres.
