Pallet rack technology has greatly evolved over the years. Manufacturers have devised weight distribution methods that allow for taller systems that can store heavier loads. Pallet racking solutions now provide the greatest inventory monitoring and storage flexibility, efficiency, expandability, durability, and technology support. You may start small, make the most of limited space, and let your inventory develop and grow. Here are the features and benefits of getting pallet racking systems.
Pallet racking characteristics
Pallet racking is an industrial storage system that organizes and stores palletized items. Some popular pallet-racking characteristics include:
1. Vertical columns or frames serve as the racking system’s primary structural support.
2. Beams: Horizontal bars that span between the uprights and provide support for the pallets.
3. Pallet racking systems accommodate a certain weight capacity per level or bay. To provide a level surface for the pallets to rest on, pallet racking can have various types of decking, such as wire mesh or particle board.
4. Pallet racking systems may contain safety elements to avoid damage or harm from unintentional accidents. Some of the most popular safety aspects of pallet racking systems are:
• Pallet supports
• Safety bars
• Row end protection
• Capacity plaques
• Wire decking
• More!
5. These safety measures limit the danger of accidents and racking system damage, boosting warehouse operations safety.
6. Depending on the demands of the warehouse operation, pallet racking systems give varying levels of accessibility. Some examples of popular pallet racking are:
• Selective Racking
• Drive-In Racking
• Push-Back Racking
• Pallet Flow Racking
