Rack comparison

Pallet Racking vs Light Storage Rack

Pallet racking and light storage racks solve different storage problems. The right choice depends on product weight, handling method, picking frequency and available warehouse height.

Choose pallet racking when

  • Goods are stored on pallets.
  • Forklifts or stackers handle most movement.
  • Loads are heavy and need engineered beam capacity.
  • Vertical space and aisle planning are important.

Choose light storage rack when

  • Goods are cartons, spare parts or small stock items.
  • Staff pick products manually.
  • Loads per shelf are moderate.
  • The area is a stockroom, workshop or back-of-house store.

Mixed layouts are common

Many warehouses use pallet racking for bulk storage and light racks for picking zones. Share the workflow so Runda Rack can suggest a practical combination.
