From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pallet rack, also referred to as pallet racking, is for stocking inventory that sits on pallets (or skids) that are stored in horizontal rows with multiple levels; pallet racks allow warehouse inventory to be stored more efficiently (called maximum storage density). The pallet racks link together to create a pallet rack system. Forklifts are usually required to place the loaded pallets onto the racks for storage because of their size and weight. Pallet racks are essential and ubiquitous to modern warehouses, retail centers, and other facilities. |
| Uprights $40 Instock 48" Deep and 10'& 12' Tall Upright frame columns (also called upright columns or uprights). Upright columns vary according to steel thickness, load requirements, and styles. The most common upright column is produced by rolling metal into the shape of a three-sided, cornered post, and is called an open-back roll-formed column. Holes or slots run up and down the column at standard intervals so that horizontal crossbeams can be mounted into the upright columns with pallet supports. |

Selective pallet rack systems are the most commonly used rack system because they are inexpensive and quick and easy to assemble. Selective pallet racks typically come in two configurations: a teardrop, or clip-in configuration, and a structural bolt-together configuration. The nickname teardrop comes from the fact that the holes on the column of the upright are shaped like a teardrop. Pallets then rest on the horizontal beams that are held in place by mounting clips.
Because the clips on teardrop configurations can be quickly moved, the shelves can be easily adjusted to different heights to accommodate various load sizes. This is convenient for a warehouse that needs to store a wide variety of product sizes. Another advantage of selective pallet rack systems is the easy accessibility they provide to all products at all times. Such accessibility is important if the inventory is rapidly depleted and restocked (called quick turnover). A selective pallet rack system is commonly used in a big-box distribution application, as well as in retail store inventory rooms, cold storage applications, wholesale stores, etc. |
