The primary difference between pallet racking and shelving is capacity and design. Pallet racking is built to handle larger load capacities and is typically used in warehouses, whereas shelving is for lighter, more accessible storage. Pallet racks can also accommodate forklifts, making them ideal for larger inventory management.

Yes, pallet racking should be certified to meet industry standards for load capacity and safety. Certification ensures that the racks are structurally sound and meet OSHA and manufacturer guidelines, reducing the risk of accidents in the warehouse.

When selecting pallet racking for your warehouse, it's essential to consider several key factors to ensure the system meets your storage and operational needs:

  • Weight Capacity: Make sure the pallet racking can handle the weight of the items you'll store. Overloading racks can lead to safety hazards and damage to the structure.
  • Space Utilization: Consider the height and available floor space in your warehouse. Pallet racking can help you make the most of vertical space, optimizing storage without expanding your footprint.
  • Product Accessibility: Different racking systems offer varying levels of access. For example, selective racking allows for direct access to every pallet, while drive-in racking is more space-efficient but limits access.
  • Durability and Material: Choose pallet racks made of high-quality, durable materials, like steel, that can withstand heavy loads and wear over time.
  • Future Expansion: Consider how your storage needs might grow. Modular pallet racking systems can be adjusted and expanded as your inventory increases.
