Why Tiverton Needs Warehouse Racking
Tiverton serves as a growing industrial, agricultural machinery, trade, and logistics hub in Mid Devon, strategically positioned within the Cullompton and Exeter manufacturing corridor. Key commercial and industrial zones include Howden Industrial Estate, Lowman Way Industrial Estate, Tiverton Trade Park, Business Centre Tiverton, and nearby Willand Industrial Estate. These locations support an active industrial ecosystem comprising textile engineering, agricultural equipment distribution, food processing, building products, timber processing, and regional e-commerce fulfilment. Facilities across Mid Devon face significant operational pressure to maximise local warehouse footprints as regional industrial land costs rise. Installing engineered warehouse racking systems enables Tiverton operators to fully exploit vertical ceiling height, turning unused vertical volume into structured, high-density storage bays that double or triple pallet capacity and ensure strict compliance with UK SEMA safety regulations.
Local Access and Delivery
Primary access is provided by the A361 dual carriageway (North Devon Link Road), which connects Tiverton directly east to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway, providing rapid freight transport toward Bristol, Taunton, Exeter, and the national motorway network. The A396 provides vital local north-south connectivity toward Exeter and Exmoor. Commercial zones along Howden and Lowman Way feature wide industrial access routes capable of accommodating articulated heavy goods vehicles.
Racking Applications in Tiverton
Across Howden Industrial Estate and Lowman Way, Adjustable Pallet Racking (APR) provides the core storage framework, giving local distributors and machinery suppliers 100% immediate access to palletised goods and heavy spares. Multi-Tier Racking and Longspan Shelving are heavily utilised in regional e-commerce fulfilment centres and electrical distributors around Tiverton Trade Park. Drive-In Racking and Push-Back Racking systems support food production and agricultural supplies around Willand. For local engineering workshops, timber fabricators, and machinery repair plants, Heavy Duty Shelving holds un-palletised tools and parts, while Heavy Duty Cantilever Racking and Vertical Racking organise timber, steel bar, and extrusions cleanly off the floor. Specialised Tyre Racking serves commercial vehicle and agricultural machinery fleet depots operating along the A361 corridor.
