One of the most interesting things about being in the material handling industry, where pallet racks come from, is that people do not always know what to call them. However, knowing enough to call them pallet racks denotes that there is knowledge of the industry, or at least, enough to know what to call the products. If you are looking for pallet rack storage shelves there are still a few questions to ask.
“If you need a pallet rack then you should know that there are many different types of pallet racks. There are pallet flow racks, pushback racks, cantilever racks, and selective racks.”
Are you looking for pallet racks, the parts that make them shelves or shelf-like, or storage bins for the racks? Each of them is correct for that keyword but it is not always easy to tell what a search means when it comes to a website. Why does that matter? It makes it harder for you to find what you need. Meeting you halfway, like we are trying to do right now, is the best way to make sure you get what you need.
If you need industrial pallet racking and shelving then you should know that there are many different types of pallet racks. There are pallet flow racks, pushback racks, cantilever racks, and selective racks. Pallet flow racks are best for businesses that need to follow FIFO rules or first in-first out rules. Pushback racks are great for businesses that do not need to follow FIFO rules but need to pack a lot of products or pallets into a very defined space. If you have heavy and long products or items then a cantilever rack might be what you need. If you like the shelving systems you have at home then a selective rack is what you need.
“Nesting, if you do not know what that is, means that you can place them inside of each other similar to how a Babushka doll works. Therefore, you can store the bins easily if you do not need them to store other things.”
If you are looking for shelving then you have a lot of different choices and you can read more about them in this post here. However, the most common and recommended version is wire mesh decking. It is the most versatile and well known to be able to handle 2500 lbs of uniform distributed load. The only problem that some people have with the product is that smaller products can fall through the grating. It is the reason that many businesses make the choice to use storage bins.
If you need storage for your shelves then getting a storage bin system might be a good thing. The bins can nest or get stacked. Nesting, if you do not know what that is, means that you can place them inside of each other similar to how a Babushka doll works. Therefore, you can store the bins easily if you do not need them to store other things. You can also stack them in order to keep stacks of things together if necessary on your shelves.
