The Types of Pallet Racking Systems
Some of the different types of pallet racking systems that can be used to organize any warehouse include:
Cantilever Racking
These units are constructed from high-tensile structural steel components for extra strength and protection against damage. Cantilever racking systems are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, making them ideal for a variety of applications. This type of warehouse racking system can easily store a wide range of different products, while still providing unrestricted access for forklifts.
Drive In & Drive Thru Pallet Racking
Both drive in and drive thru pallet racking systems are designed to allow for fast and easy transportation of palletized products from one area to the next. These types of warehouse racking systems are specifically designed to allow for the easy maneuvering of forklifts, making them a great fit for operations that utilize many forklifts or stackers at the same time. This type of pallet racking is ideal for both commercial and industrial facilities, especially those with a higher number of skids or where floor space is limited.
Push Back Pallet Racking
Designed to combine high-density storage with the versatility of drive-in racking systems, push back pallet racking allows for multiple pallets to be stored on a gravity-fed system. Pallets are then retrieved from the face of the rack, allowing for easy access. All push back racking systems also allow for the storage of two to six pallets deep and are only restricted by the reach of the lift truck, optimizing storage capacity.
Selective Pallet Racking
Selective pallet racking is constructed from an upright frame and load beams. It is ideal for a wide range of storage applications as it offers easy assembly, expansion, and relocation. Perfect for storing full pallets or for hand-stocking heavy products on wire decking, selective pallet racking is available in a range of different sizes, making it easy to find the right fit for your warehouse space.
