SELECTIVE PALLET RACKING


CONVENTIONAL AND MOST COMMON STORAGE PRACTICE


These systems are called “Selectve” because they allow users to select any pallet load from the pallet racking system without having to move any other pallets.

This flexible and customizable system offers various safety accessories and additonal level and rack accessories based on your storage needs. When storage capacity takes precedence over selectvity, you can opt for double deep pallet racking, where racks are installed back-to-back, and extended arms are used to retrieve pallets from behind. Whether you need to maximize vertcal or horizontal space, this system can be tailored to your specific requirements.
