Pallet rack is a warehouse storage system that allows for high stacking of individual products or palletized quantities in single or multi-level storage facility. Pallet racks are an important part of any distribution, storage, or material handling business. Pallet racking make it possible to get to stored materials quickly.

Metal structures meant to support goods in a warehouse or industrial facility are known as industrial racking systems. The various forms of industrial racking are an important component of a warehouse’s flawless operation and play a significant part in a company’s logistics and supply chain capabilities.

There are different types of industrial racking for different situations, storage needs, and unit loads, but they all have the benefit of optimizing warehouse space as compared to floor level storage.

 

Different Styles Of Industrial Pallet Racks

  • Standard Adjustable Pallet Racking.
  • Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking.
  • Double Deep Pallet Racking.
  • Drive in Pallet Racking (LIFO)
  • Drive Through Pallet Racking (FIFO)
  • Gravity FIFO Live Pallet Racking system.
  • Push-Back LIFO Racking.

The connection points of the beams or uprights must be examined to determine the pallet rack’s style. A hook and slot connection is used in some types, whereas a pin and slot connection, or a bracket or fastener connection is used in others. Although some styles may appear to be extremely identical, differentiating features such as a lock mechanism can help you identify the style. Manufacturers utilize several color combinations for uprights and beams, and some color combinations are used solely by manufacturers. By looking at the breakdown of the styles below, you’ll be able to see the difference.

 

Tear Drop Style: Teardrop racking, also known as Interlake Old-Style racking, is the most popular in the United States. The pin connector on the load beam or the slot connector on the upright will help you identify this form of racking. The upright slots resemble an inverted teardrop, making this style easy to recognize on uprights.

Sammons Style: Because of its physical proximity to previous plants, Sammons is widely found on the West Coast. Although the hole pattern appears to be similar to the teardrop form at first look, the hole pattern is vertically spaced on 4″ centers. Only Sammons mushroom-shaped connecting pins are compatible with the teardrop shape.

New Style: Because of its physical proximity to previous plants, Sammons is widely found on the West Coast. Although the hole pattern appears to be similar to the teardrop form at first look, the hole pattern is vertically spaced on 4″ centers. Only Sammons mushroom-shaped connecting pins are compatible with the teardrop shape.

Structural Style: Structural racking is a sort of heavy-duty racking that may be distinguished by its simple yet distinctive construction and connector type. Structural style uprights and beams are made of hot rolled steel, are very impact resistant, and are meant to support more weight. Structural load beams use bolts that bolt directly into the uprights rather than hooks or pins to connect with the uprights. Structural uprights are available in single column or closed post column forms, with extra reinforcing for higher load capacities.

Speedrack: Speedrack is a distinct type of racking that can be distinguished by its distinctive hole pattern and beams with no pins or hooks. The beams are connected to the uprights by a bracket connection, which necessitates the installation of a U-shaped bracket to fasten the beams to the uprights. The hole pattern on the upright consists of 12″ circular holes that are placed vertically 4″ apart center-to-center and are located directly on both edges of the face of the column. To hold the load beam to the upright, U-shaped brackets pass through these holes from one side to the other and are secured with a J-hook.

Ridg-U-Rak style: A hook and slot connection is used in Ridg-U-Rak type racking. The distinctive rectangular slots on the uprights distinguish this type. Vertically, these slots are 4″ apart center-to-center. On each interior side of the column, Ridg-U-Rak uprights have a unique outward bend. Ridg-U-Rak beams have hooked flanges that rest against the upright’s ridge. The beams are thinner and have hooked connectors than the other beam designs. Ridg-U-Rak also has a lock that is mounted inside the upright column and is made of a spring with two pins.

Keystone Style: The hook and slot connector is used in Keystone (aka Republic) racking. The trapezoidal hole design on the upright distinguishes the Keystone style pallet rack  from others. These slots are positioned in the center of the column’s face and are spaced 3″ center-to-center vertically. The beams are made of roll-formed steel and have hooks that fit into slots in the uprights. J-hooks or a detachable steel clip secure the beams to the uprights.

Penco Style: A hook and slot connection is also used in Penco type racking. The side by side slanted thin slots distinguish Penco type uprights. Slanted hooks on the Penco style beams fit snugly into the holes on the face of the uprights. When you look at the cross section of the beams, they appear to be tapered. These beams have a sliding lock built into them that keeps them in place.

T-Bolt Style: Another popular type of racking is T-Bolt style racking, which is distinguished by rectangular slots on the columns and similar slots on the load beams. T-bolt beams are secured to the uprights with big bolts that must be carefully tightened. A bolt on each end of a typical T-Bolt connection holds the beam in place. For high seismic design locations, T-Bolt load beam connectors with 6′′ to 12′′ connection clips are provided. Blue uprights and Yellow load beams are common on T-Bolt racks.

 

The correct pallet racking system can have a significant impact on your bottom line. A well-designed system can boost efficiency, increase warehouse storage space by 40% or more, and assist your business in adapting to changing inventory requirements. It’s difficult to know which style of pallet rack is appropriate for your business. The most popular types of pallet racking systems, as well as the ideal applications for each, are listed below.

 

  • Selective Pallet Rack
  • Double Deep Racking
  • Push Back Rack
  • Pallet Flow Rack
  • Drive-In/Drive-Through Rack
  • Roll Formed Cantilever Rack

Pallet rack parts are the various components that make up the racking’s structure and ensure that the loads it contains are stored properly.

 

All metal pallet racks, however, have major structural elements like beams, uprights, and wire decks/pallet supports.

The amount of weight that a pallet rack can hold will vary across manufacturers of pallet racking and will depend on size and design. That said, standard pallet racks will have a load capacity of around 2,500 pounds/shelf
