What is Pallet Warehouse Racking?
Pallet warehouse racking refers to the structural systems used to store inventory on pallets, organized in rows and vertical levels. These racks allow forklifts or other machinery to easily access items, making them essential in most warehouse environments.
Each racking system is designed to serve a specific purpose—whether it’s high-density storage, selective access, or rapid rotation of stock.
Types of Pallet Racking Systems
EMC Installations specializes in a variety of racking systems. Here are some of the most commonly used types:
Selective Pallet Racking
This is the most widely used type of pallet racking. It provides direct access to each pallet and is ideal for businesses with varied inventory.
Drive-In and Drive-Thru Racking
Used for high-density storage, this system allows forklifts to enter the racking system to place or retrieve pallets. Best suited for storing large volumes of identical items.
Push-Back Racking
Designed to store multiple pallets deep, push-back racks use rolling carts on inclined rails. Great for last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory systems.
Pallet Flow Racking
Ideal for first-in, first-out (FIFO) systems, pallet flow racks use gravity rollers to move pallets forward for automatic rotation.
Cantilever Racking
Perfect for long, bulky items like lumber or pipes, this system offers open-front access and adjustable arms for flexible storage.
Benefits of a Quality Racking System
Installing a professional pallet warehouse racking system brings many operational advantages:
- Maximizes floor and vertical space
- Improves inventory organization and visibility
- Enhances picking and loading speed
- Increases safety for workers and equipment
