What is Pallet Racking?
Pallet racks are versatile warehouse storage systems designed to hold palletized items on multiple levels of horizontal shelving. These systems maximize vertical space and improve efficiency by allowing forklifts to quickly load and unload materials.
Advantages of pallet racking include:
Enhanced vertical storage capacity.
Improved warehouse organization.
Faster material handling processes.
Key Components of Pallet Racks
Upright Frames
These are the vertical supports of the system, featuring punched holes (teardrop, keyhole, or T-shaped) to connect with the horizontal beams. Available in various heights and widths, adjustable pallet racks make it easy to accommodate different pallet rack dimensions and weight capacities.
Cross Beams
Cross beams are heavy-duty rails that create the horizontal shelves. They come in step beams or box beams, which support a wide range of pallet weights. Adding pallet racks with wire decking provides additional support and ensures safety by preventing items from falling through.
Supporting Components
These include anchor bolts to secure the racks, row spacers for stability, and decking for added support. Each component is vital to maintain the pallet rack weight capacity and overall system integrity.
Wire Decking for Pallet Racks
Wire decking enhances the safety and functionality of your pallet rack shelving. It provides better air circulation, prevents product falls, and complies with fire safety regulations by allowing sprinkler systems to function effectively.
Styles of Wire Decking
Flared/Universal Decking
Compatible with most types of beams, including structural pallet racking and selective systems.
U Channel Standard Decking
Ideal for standard beams with inside steps, offering extra strength.
Inside Waterfall Decking
Keeps beam faces clear for barcoding and labeling.
Types of Pallet Racking Systems
Roll-Formed Pallet Racks
Known for their teardrop-shaped holes, these racks are highly versatile and compatible with other systems. Their clip-on beams make adjustments and reconfigurations simple, making them a popular choice and for expanding existing setups.
Structural Pallet Racks
Built for heavy-duty applications, these racks feature bolted connections for added strength and durability. They can support significantly more weight than roll-formed racks, making them ideal for industries requiring heavy-duty pallet racks.
