Pallet Racking Systems

Differet Racking Types

• Selective Pallet Racking - Most common, single-deep, accessible.
• Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking - High-density storage, limited selectivity.
• Push-Back Racking - Gravity-fed, pallets rest on carts, LIFO system.
• Pallet Flow Racking - FIFO system with rollers or conveyors.
• Cantilever Racking - For long items (pipes, lumber).
• Carton Flow Racking - For high-volume, small-pick items.
• Mezzanines - Second-level storage or office space within a warehouse.

  Selective Pallet Racking

  Selective pallet racking is the industry's most popular and versatile storage system, designed to offer direct, individual access to every pallet via interior aisles. It features bolted or welded upright frames and horizontal beams. Ideal for warehouses handling diverse SKUs and requiring frequent picking, selective racking balances efficiency, flexibility, and safe load control in applications ranging from small-scale operations to large 3PL facilities.

• 

  Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking

  Drive-in pallet racking is a high-density storage system designed to optimize warehouse space by allowing forklifts to drive directly into the rack structure. It eliminates the need for multiple aisles, enabling more pallets to be stored in a given area. This system operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis and is ideal for storing large quantities of uniform products with low turnover. Drive-in racking is commonly used in cold storage, food and beverage, and other industries that prioritize space efficiency over selectivity.

• 

  Push-Back Racking

  Push-back racking is a high-density storage system that uses a series of nested carts on inclined rails to store pallets multiple positions deep. When a new pallet is loaded, it pushes the existing pallets back, and when one is removed, the others roll forward for easy access. This system operates on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis and maximizes storage capacity while maintaining multiple SKU accessibility. Push-back racking is ideal for warehouses with limited space and medium-turnover inventory.

  Pallet Flow Racking

  Pallet flow racking is a dynamic storage system that uses gravity-driven roller tracks to automatically move pallets from the loading end to the picking end. It operates on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, making it ideal for perishable goods or high-turnover inventory. The system increases efficiency by separating loading and unloading aisles, reducing handling times and forklift travel. Pallet flow racking is well-suited for distribution centers, food warehouses, and other operations that prioritize inventory rotation.

• 

  Cantilever Racking

  Cantilever racking is designed to store long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items such as lumber, pipes, and steel bars. It features arms that extend from a central column, providing open access without vertical obstructions. This system offers flexibility in load handling and easy adjustability to accommodate different product sizes. Cantilever racking is ideal for industries like construction, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution that require efficient storage of oversized materials.

• 

  Carton Flow Racking

  Carton flow racking is a gravity-fed system that uses inclined roller tracks to move cartons from the loading side to the picking side. It operates on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, ensuring product rotation and efficient inventory management. This system improves picking speed and accuracy by keeping items constantly available at the front of the rack. Carton flow racking is ideal for order fulfillment operations, retail distribution, and warehouses handling high-volume, small-package inventory.

• 

  Mezzanines

  Mezzanines are elevated structures that create additional floor space within a warehouse by utilizing unused vertical space. They can be customized with various flooring types, stairways, and safety features to suit specific operational needs. Mezzanines are ideal for expanding storage, office, or work areas without the cost of building expansion. This versatile solution maximizes facility efficiency and supports growth without disrupting existing workflows.
