Racking Systems

Selective pallet racking is the most common and versatile storage system, offering direct access to every pallet stored. This design makes selective racks ideal for operations with a wide variety of SKUs and frequent inventory turnover. The racks use horizontal beams and vertical uprights, allowing adjustable shelf heights to fit diverse loads and maximize space. Selective racking is cost-effective and supports efficient first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management.

Drive-in pallet racking is a high-density storage solution that allows forklifts to enter the rack from one side to store and retrieve pallets. Pallets are stored in multiple positions deep, minimizing aisle space and maximizing storage for large quantities of similar items. Drive-in racks are best suited for inventory with low SKU variety and operate on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) system, making them ideal for bulk storage and seasonal goods.

Pushback pallet racking is designed for high-density storage where pallets are loaded onto nested carts that slide back on inclined rails. Each time a new pallet is loaded, it pushes previous pallets further back, and when a pallet is removed, the next rolls forward automatically. This system allows several pallets to be stored per lane and is ideal for storing multiple pallets of the same product while maintaining easy access without driving into the rack. Pushback racking works on a LIFO inventory management principle and saves aisle space, making it suitable for medium turnover products.

Cantilever racking is specialized for storing bulky, long, or irregularly-shaped items such as lumber, pipes, or furniture. It features arms projecting from vertical columns, allowing open access without vertical obstructions—ideal for products that cannot be palletized or fit standard shelving. The flexible, open design enables easy loading and unloading directly from the front, providing adaptable storage for oversized materials and maximizing horizontal warehouse space.

Pallet flow racking is a dynamic storage system that uses slightly inclined lanes with rollers or wheels to move pallets from the loading end to the picking end using gravity. This first-in, first-out (FIFO) system ensures optimal stock rotation and is perfect for perishable goods, date-sensitive inventory, or high-volume operations. Pallet flow racks maximize space efficiency by eliminating the need for aisles between each lane and significantly reduce forklift travel time.

Carton flow rack is a high-density storage system designed for efficient picking of cartons, cases, or totes. The racking features inclined roller or wheel tracks that use gravity to move cartons from the loading side to the picking side, ensuring a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory rotation. This system keeps products organized, maximizes both space and picking productivity, and is ideal for operations with fast-moving SKUs or date-sensitive goods such as in distribution centers and food and beverage warehouses. By separating stocking and picking aisles and keeping items front-facing, carton flow rack enhances accuracy and saves labor, making inventory management more efficient and reliable.
