Owner-Led Storage Solutions Across New Zealand
We're Gavin and Zach, and we stay across every project from first call to final sign-off. Gavin leads consultation and design. Zach manages installation and delivery. Both owners, both contactable, both accountable.
Why We Started Elite Racking
We saw too many warehouse owners dealing with the same frustrations: sales reps who disappear after the deposit, surprise shutdowns during install, and compliance paperwork that never arrives.
We built Elite Racking differently. Owner-led delivery. Install options that keep your warehouse running. Full compliance documentation, every time.
How We Work
Install Your Way
We offer two paths: phased or after-hours installs to keep you operating, or full closure if that's faster and safer. We compare the trade-offs, you choose what works for your business.
Compliance Built In
Every system meets AS 4084:2023. We provide RAMS, permits, producer statements, seismic and floor checks, load signage, and certified installers.
Our Track Record
Auckland-based, we've delivered racking storage projects across New Zealand, from Christchurch to Wellington to Dunedin. Our customers mention three things most often: we listen, we deliver on time and on budget, and we're on site when it matters.
New or Certified Second-Hand
Budget tight or lead times short? We offer fully certified second-hand options, inspected and compliant with NZ standards.
