Improve warehouse organization and inventory management

Support heavy loads with durable steel construction

Enhance efficiency with customized layouts

Types of Pallet Rack Systems

Selective Pallet Racks 

The most common type of rack, selective systems provide direct access to every pallet. They are versatile, cost-effective, and adaptable to many applications.

Drive-In and Drive-Through Racks 

Drive-in and drive-through systems allow forklifts to enter racking lanes, offering high-density storage for operations with large volumes of similar products.

Push-Back Racks 

Push-back racks use nested carts on inclined rails, allowing pallets to be stored multiple deep while maintaining easy access from the aisle.

Pallet Flow Racks 

Pallet flow racks use gravity-fed rollers to automatically advance pallets forward, making them ideal for first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management.

Double Deep Racks 

Double deep systems store pallets two rows deep, increasing storage density while maintaining selectivity.

Applications of Pallet Racks

  • Warehouses storing palletized goods and bulk inventory
  • Distribution centers needing quick access to high-volume stock
  • Manufacturing plants managing raw materials and finished goods
  • Retail operations storing overflow and seasonal products
  • Cold storage and food distribution requiring efficient use of space

Space Optimization

Pallet racking systems maximize cubic storage space, making use of high ceilings in industrial facilities. Customized layouts help businesses increase storage density while maintaining accessibility and safety.

Safety and Efficiency

Pallet racks are engineered for strength and stability, with safety accessories such as row spacers, column protectors, and guardrails available. Properly designed systems reduce handling times and improve overall efficiency.

Integration with Facility Equipment

Pallet racks work alongside forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, and automation systems. They are the backbone of most warehouse storage operations, supporting efficient material flow from receiving to shipping.
