What is Standard Selective Pallet Racking?

Standard Selective Pallet Racking is a popular option for storing palletized inventory as it is easily adaptable.

Instead of moving pallets around, one is able to have high visibility and access to all pallet racks. This makes it a great option for warehouses with a high SKU count, allowing for efficiency with workers spotting different inventory.

How do you layout Selective Pallet Racking?

We first begin with main units and add units. The starter bay needs 2 uprights, and then with every bay in the same run, one additional upright is required. See below.

What are the different parts of Selective Pallet Racking?

Wire Decking is most common and the industry standard when it comes to pallet rack decking. This racking accessory gives you the flexibility to store multiple sized items on each beam level, from cartons to drums. It simply drops into place on a step beam for easy installation with no hardware required. There are support channels welded to the underside of the deck for added strength. It also offers increased fire safety due to the open mesh design. Overall, this is a great way to create heavy duty storage shelves in your facility.

Steel Decking comes either galvanized or with a durable, powder coat finish. It works great for die storage, bagged goods, or any other items that would typically fall through traditional wire deck openings.

Other options also available include corrugated, perforated, and slotted decking. Some end users opt to just have front to back pallet supports, which is acceptable but offers an increased risk of your inventory falling through the storage level. We typically guide people away from wood decking due to the potential fire risks.
