Pallet & Heavy-Duty Racking Systems

Category overview

How Pallet Racking Works

Pallet racking stores unit loads for forklift access, from selective and heavy-duty rack layouts to higher-density pallet storage.

This category covers pallet-facing warehouse systems where load unit, forklift access and rotation rules drive the rack choice. Selective pallet racking gives direct access, while double-deep, drive-in, pallet shuttle, pallet flow, push-back, VNA and mobile pallet racking trade different levels of density, access and operating discipline.

Start with pallet footprint, loaded height, weight range, pallet condition, SKU count and forklift type. Those inputs support a direct comparison of heavy-duty rack, direct-access pallet racking and high-density options without copying a capacity figure from an unrelated configuration.

Selection factors

What to Compare

• Pallet dimensions and maximum load
• FIFO or LIFO stock rotation
• Forklift type and aisle width
• Building height, clearances and rack protection
