Selective pallet racking gives you direct access to every pallet, which makes it the most flexible and widely used layout for operations with many SKUs and steady turnover. It is the lowest cost per position to install and the easiest to reconfigure as inventory changes.
This starter bay is a complete, free-standing unit, two upright frames and three storage levels. Add adder bays to extend a row, sharing one upright frame between each bay to lower your cost per position.
Send us your pallet sizes, weights, ceiling height, and forklift type. A specialist will return a rack layout with capacities, a drawing, and lead times. We can add wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and guardrails to protect the system and your people.
