Selective Pallet Racks

Selective pallet rack structures are the most commonly used of all pallet rack types. They are the most versatile because every pallet position (SKU) has aisle access for full pallet or case pick. More access, however, means less density because of numerous aisles. In pallet rack systems, the more selectivity you have, the less density of the pallets stored (number of pallets deep). Conversely, the more density you have, the less selectivity of the pallets stored (access from aisle).

The development of pallet rack progressed with the development of forklift trucks. The first racks averaged only 10’ high; today heights of over 20’ are common. These, like all pallet rack structures, particularly, in earthquake zones, like Southern California, are subject to stringent structural and fire code requirements.

• The Selective Pallet Rack system is the most common rack, consisting of upright frames and a pair of load beams for each shelf level
• Selective pallet rack system allows for most selectivity, every pallet position has aisle access
• Collection of the fundamental data of the unit load and handling equipment will provide the required information to determine the upright frame size and capacity, correlated with the load beam span and capacity
