Types of Pallet and Storage Racks for Manufacturers, Distributors and Retailers
-
selective rack
Selective pallet rack is the most common and widely used racking system. This type of storage allows for easy access to individual pallets. It is designed to maximize storage space while providing flexibility in selecting and retrieving pallets.
-
cantilever
Cantilever racks are a type of industrial storage system designed to hold long and bulky items such as lumber, pipes, and sheet metal. They feature an open design with arms or brackets that extend from a vertical column, allowing for easy access and visibility of stored items.
-
push back
Pushback racks maximize warehouse efficiency by increasing storage density and speeding loading/unloading. Their gravity-fed design stores pallets deep on inclined rails, enabling last-in-first-out (LIFO) inventory. This cart system optimizes space, reduces aisle congestion, and improves flow.
-
drive in/drive thru
Drive-in rack systems are a type of high-density storage system designed for palletized goods, allowing forklifts to enter the rack structure to access and retrieve items from within the system. This type of system maximizes storage space utilization, but typically has reduced selectivity, with first-in/last-out (FILO) access.
-
pallet flow
Pallet flow rack is a storage system that uses gravity to move pallets from one end of the rack to the other. The design of the rack allows for efficient use of space and provides easy access to inventory.
-
carton flow
Carton flow is a type of storage system designed for order picking and stock rotation of small to medium-sized items. It utilizes inclined shelves with rollers or wheels
-
mezzanine
Mezzanines maximize warehouse vertical space, supporting heavy loads and large equipment. Custom designs boost storage and efficiency without expanding footprints. Our systems ensure strength, safety, and versatile workflow improvements.
-
over dock
Over dock door racking makes use of the space above loading docks, an area often left empty in warehouses. This system stores pallets or inventory right above the dock doors, freeing up floor space for other tasks. It increases storage capacity without needing more floor area, ideal for warehouses with limited room. Perfect for staging shipments.
