FAQs
What is HiLo Pallet Racking?
HiLo pallet racking is a type of UK-manufacturer adjustable pallet racking (APR), designed for high-strength and flexible warehouse storage.
HiLo systems are known for their robust upright frames and hook-in beam connection design, which provide a secure, load-bearing connection while allowing beams to be quickly repositioned. This makes them particularly suited to operations where stock profiles and pallet heights change regularly.
A typical HiLo racking system consists of roll-formed steel uprights paired with high-capacity beams, forming adjustable storage levels. The system is engineered to handle consistent industrial use, with strong frame profiles and reliable beam locking mechanisms that maintain structural integrity under load.
Due to its widespread use across UK warehouses, HiLo pallet racking is also a practical choice for extending existing installations or sourcing compatible second-hand components.
How HiLo Racking Works
HiLo pallet racking functions as a beam-and-frame system, designed to safely transfer pallet loads through the structure and into the floor.
- Upright frames act as the primary load-bearing structure
- Hook-in beams connect to the uprights using multi-pin connectors, ensuring a secure fit
- Safety locking clips prevent accidental beam dislodgement
- Pallets are placed directly onto beams using standard forklifts
- Load weight is transferred from beams through the frames to the base plates
- Beam levels can be adjusted in set increments to suit pallet height and clearance requirements
- Systems can be configured for single or double runs depending on warehouse layout
Common HiLo Racking Specifications
Typical HiLo pallet racking specifications include:
- Upright heights ranging from approximately 2,000mm up to 12,000mm+
- Beam lengths commonly between 1,800mm and 3,600mm
- Load capacities from 1,000kg to over 3,000kg per beam level
- Frame depths typically between 800mm and 1,100mm
- Adjustable beam levels with standard pitch spacing
- Heavy-duty steel construction for industrial environments

Used HiLo Racking FAQs
IS HILO RACKING COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER RACKING BRANDS?
In most cases, HiLo racking is not directly interchangeable with other brands, even if it looks similar.
The reason comes down to connector design and upright perforation patterns. Each manufacturer uses slightly different hook shapes, tab spacing, and hole centres. Even small differences can prevent beams from seating correctly or locking safely into place.
Trying to mix incompatible beams and frames can lead to:
- Poor load distribution
- Loose or unstable connections
- Increased risk of beam dislodgement
There are some situations where systems can be adapted, but this should always be assessed properly by a team of professionals. We can check compatibility and recommend the safest way to extend or modify your setup.
CAN YOU SUPPLY MATCHING HILO BEAMS OR PARTS?
Yes, but matching them properly is important.
With HiLo racking, it’s not just about getting the right beam length. The connector type, beam profile, and load rating all need to line up with your existing system.
Usually, a couple of clear photos and some basic measurements are enough to identify what you have. From there, it’s much easier to supply components that will integrate properly rather than trying to make something “close enough” work.
CAN I EXTEND MY EXISTING HILO RACKING SYSTEM?
Yes, and it’s often much more cost-effective than replacing everything.
Most extensions involve either adding extra bays onto the end of a run or increasing the number of beam levels within existing frames. As long as the beam type, frame depth and load capacity are consistent, HiLo systems are straightforward to build onto.
Where issues tend to arise is when different specifications get mixed together - for example, using beams with different load ratings in the same bay. Keeping everything aligned is key to maintaining performance.
