Service Challenges 

Many companies reach a point where their own warehouse becomes too full, too costly or too difficult to manage. Stock may arrive earlier than expected, customers may delay delivery, or seasonal demand may create pressure on existing storage space. Selvic supports clients whose storage needs change in scale, whether growing or shrinking, by offering flexible pallet storage solutions. 

Typical challenges include: 

  • Not having enough warehouse space for incoming pallets 
  • Paying for fixed premises when storage requirements keep changing 
  • Needing short term storage during peak periods 
  • Managing oversized pallets that do not fit standard racking 
  • Keeping stock stored securely and easy to retrieve, with advanced security measures such as CCTV monitoring and alarm systems in place 
  • Reducing handling errors, lost stock and delivery delays 
  • Finding a storage company that can support loading, unloading and onward transport 
  • Controlling storage rates while still keeping goods in safe hands 

For many businesses, pallet storage is not just about finding empty space. It is about choosing a storage company that can accommodate real operating needs, protect customers’ goods, adapt to changes in scale, and support the wider logistics process with a client-focused approach.

What’s Included in Our Warehouse Space

Selvic’s pallet storage services can be tailored around the way your business operates. Some customers only need storage space for a few pallets for a short period. Others need warehouse space for larger volumes, stock rotation, regular retrieval and onward distribution. 

Depending on your goods and storage requirements, our service may include: 

Secure storage for pallets in a managed warehouse environment, with options for short term and longer term arrangements. Our facilities are equipped with advanced security systems, including 24/7 monitoring and CCTV, to ensure your goods are protected at all times.

For goods, machinery or oversized pallets that cannot be stored in standard pallet racking, bulk storage can make better use of available floor space.

Pallet storage can be supported through different racking methods. Selective racking offers 100% accessibility and is ideal for high SKU variety with low pallet counts, though it provides lower density. Double-deep racking can increase density but may require specialist reach trucks. Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racking reclaims wasted floor space and requires specialized turret trucks for operation. Push-Back and Pallet Flow systems utilize gravity or rails for multiple deep storage, making them ideal for FIFO or LIFO inventory control. Drive-in racking eliminates aisles for bulk storage and is strictly a LIFO system, suitable for high-volume, low-SKU goods.

Where appropriate, high-density racking can use building height and overhead clearance to optimise warehouse capacity and make better use of space.

Clear labelling, barcoding and inventory processes help keep pallets stored correctly and reduce the risk of lost stock or handling mistakes. ABC Analysis can be used to categorize products by demand, with high-velocity pallets stored at floor level near shipping docks for faster access.

Pallets should be stacked safely, with the heaviest pallets placed at the bottom and damaged, broken, or splintered pallets avoided. Regular checks of racking, including beams, bolts and general condition, help maintain safe operations.

When stock is ready to move, Selvic can support pallet retrieval, preparation, loading and coordination for transport or delivery. 

Selvic can provide pricing based on your actual pallets, storage requirements and operating needs. 

Why Choose Selvic’s Extensive Network

Selvic gives businesses access to an extensive network of warehouse space, enabling us to serve clients across multiple locations without the cost and commitment of running their own premises. Our UK location, warehouse handling experience, and stock support make us a practical storage company for customers that need flexible pallet storage and reliable operations. 

While many companies look to the golden triangle for national distribution, Selvic offers a strong UK warehouse option for businesses that need east coast access, practical storage space, and support for movement across the wider supply chain. With direct access to key routes and nearby port connections, our strategic locations help clients manage stock, transport, and delivery more efficiently. Selvic’s solutions are designed to scale with your business, adapting to changing storage requirements as your needs grow or shift.

Across the UK, demand for storage and distribution space has increased, with modern warehouses playing a larger role in supply chain resilience. For many companies, flexible pallet storage is now a more efficient solution than committing to extra warehouse capacity all year round. 

Suitable Cargo and Businesses for Bulk Storage 

Selvic’s pallet storage services are suitable for businesses that need safe, flexible and accessible warehouse space for stock that is already palletised or ready to be handled as pallets. We tailor our solutions to support a wide range of clients, ensuring their specific logistics and storage needs are met. 

This service may be suitable for: 

  • Importers needing warehouse space before customer delivery 
  • Manufacturers storing raw materials or finished stock 
  • Construction and engineering companies storing palletised goods 
  • Retailers and e-commerce businesses managing seasonal demand, with Selvic’s fulfilment services including order processing and inventory management 
  • Companies with overflow stock during peak periods 
  • Businesses needing short term storage before onward distribution 
  • Customers with oversized pallets or goods requiring bulk storage 
  • Companies looking for a storage company to support stock movement, not just storage 

Subject to goods type, documentation and acceptance checks, Selvic can also review more specialist storage requirements, including certain industrial goods and hazardous goods. Suitability will depend on the nature of the cargo, handling requirements, safety rules and available warehouse capacity. 

How It Works 

1

Tell us what you need to store

Send us the pallet count, dimensions, weight, goods type, expected storage period and any handling or access requirements. Our onboarding and storage setup process is designed for speed and efficiency, so if you are renting warehouse space for seasonal or overflow stock, let us know how often pallets need to move in and out.
2

We confirm the storage solution

We review your storage requirements and recommend the most suitable option, whether that is racked pallet storage, bulk storage, short term storage or a more flexible warehouse space arrangement. We will also confirm storage rates, handling costs and any conditions.
3

Your pallets are received, stored and managed

Once agreed, your pallets can be delivered to the warehouse. Our team supports unloading, checking, labelling, storage, retrieval and preparation for onward delivery when required. Selvic’s web-based inventory control system provides real-time updates and 24/7 access, so you can monitor and manage your stored goods securely at any time.
  • How much to store a pallet in a warehouse?
    The cost to store a pallet in a warehouse depends on the number of pallets, how long they will be stored, whether they need racking or bulk storage, and how often they need retrieval or delivery. Short term pallet storage may have different pricing from longer term storage.
  • How do you store pallets in a warehouse?
    Pallets can be stored on pallet racking, in bulk storage areas or in high-density systems, depending on the goods and warehouse layout. The best method depends on inventory type, stock turnover, pallet weight, building height and access needs.
  • How many pallets can be stored in a warehouse?
    This depends on warehouse size, racking layout, aisle width, pallet dimensions, floor space, building height and safety requirements. Warehouse capacity can increase with suitable racking and efficient layout planning.
  • What is the best way to store pallets?
    The best way is to match pallet storage to inventory velocity and access needs. Fast-moving pallets are often stored near loading areas, while slower-moving stock may be placed in higher-density storage. Clear labelling and barcoding also help improve efficiency.
  • Why should pallets never be stored vertically or on their side?
    Pallets should not be stored vertically or on their side because they can fall, become unstable or create safety risks. Damaged pallets should also be avoided, as broken boards or splinters can affect safe handling and stacking.
  • Who will collect pallets for free?
    Free pallet collection is usually handled by pallet recycling or pallet collection companies, depending on pallet condition, volume and location. Selvic focuses on pallet storage and warehouse support, but customers can discuss pallet handling needs as part of their storage enquiry.
