PALLET RACKING SOLUTIONS

selective pallet rack

SELECTIVE PALLET RACK

A selective rack is a steel storage system arranged in either single or back-to-back (double) rows. Each of the rows offers a bay or number of bays in the down aisle direction. 

Double Deep Pallet Racking

DOUBLE DEEP RACK

Double deep rack can accommodate two pallet loads, stored back-to-back and requires a special fork truck called a deep reach truck. The double deep rack offers medium storage density and low cost.

Drive In Rack System | Concept Storage Systems

DRIVE-IN RACK

Drive-in systems offer a highly efficient method of storing large quantities of similar loads, by allowing the forklift driver to enter the rack system and place the load on structural rails. 

Push Back Racks

PUSH-BACK RACK

Push back racks offer the same storage density as drive-in racks but with greater selectivity. Loads in each lane rest on a cart on a rail that slopes slightly toward the front.

Pallet Flow Racking

PALLET-FLOW

In this first-in/first-out (FIFO) system, pallets are loaded at the top end of the slightly inclined rack and glide safely and effortlessly at a controlled pace to the other side.

Carton Flow

CARTON-FLOW

Carton Flow Rack can be used for both cartons and pallets. The systems may be many units deep and are most often used in situations where the carton or pallet at the front is going to be picked first.

PALLET RACKING TYPES

WELDED PALLET RACKING

Roll-formed welded pallet racking is the most popular selective pallet racking type, as it is the most versatile. There are variety of column sizes and gauges available to accommodate any load size or capacity, and is readily available from stock.

KNOCK-DOWN RACKING

Roll-formed, knock-down pallet racking differs from welded pallet racking, because the frame structure is bolted together, rather than welded. Knock-down pallet racking is easy to install, and is available in many configurations. 

STRUCTURAL STEEL RACKING

Structural steel pallet racking is designed for high-capacity loads, and can be used in multiple configurations. The open channel design and thick cross-section makes the structural steel racking strong enough for any application.

CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS

TypeDefinitionDurability & Impact ResistanceKey Characteristic
Structural SteelMade from hot-rolled c-channel steel (like I-beams)Extreme. Can withstand significant forklift impacts. The "heavy duty" option. Easy to keep clean (open channel); usually bolted connections.
Roll Formed (Standard)Cold-rolled steel sheets formed into column shapes. Moderate. Susceptible to forklift damage. The industry standard. Versatile, lighter weight, and generally lower cost than structural.
WeldedFrames are welded together at the factory. High. Rigid connections. Shipped as one piece. Saves installation time but higher freight cost.
Knock DownFrames are bolted together on-site. Moderate to High (dependent on assembly).Shipped efficiently (compact). Parts can be easily replaced if damaged without replacing the whole frame.
