How is it different from other racking systems?

Storage capacity

Selective pallet racking system offers lower storage density compared to other warehouse pallet racking systems for its wide aisles needed for forklifts. However, they compensate with flexibility and ease of access, making it suitable for warehouses with diverse inventory requirements. Cantilever Racking offers the same low storage, whereas Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking, Pallet Flow Racking, Mobile Racking, and others offer higher storage capacity.

Stock management

Selective pallet racks are suitable for both FIFO and LIFO stock management. They ensure direct access and quick retrieval of individual SKUs, making them ideal for diverse inventories. Drive-In/Drive-Through Racking, Push Back Racking, Double Deep Racking, and Pallet Flow Racking cannot deal with both LIFO and FIFO inventory systems.

Layout of warehouse space

Selective racks need wide aisles for easy forklift access. However, they are flexible and adaptable to various warehouse layouts. To utilize the vertical space, you can adjust the upright frames and pallet rack beams for different pallet sizes, types, and heights. It also facilitates safety clearance for sprinkler systems, lights, and emergency exits.

Load and unload

Loading and unloading are easier and more efficient with a selective pallet rack system for its direct access to each pallet. You can quickly load and unload diverse SKUs for efficient inventory management. Other racking systems are more complex, requiring specific entry and exit points.

Accessibility

Selective racking provides direct access to each pallet from the front, back, or sides for quick and easy retrieval. This makes them suitable for a wide range of products with frequent access needs. Drive-In/Drive-Through, Push Back, Pallet Flow, and other rackings do not have direct access from all sides.

Cost Effective

Selective pallet rack systems offer the lowest cost compared to high-density systems like pallet flow or mobile racking. It makes the system attractive for warehouse businesses with budget constraints.

Key Advantages and Considerations

Low-Cost Storage: Economical racking solution ideal for diverse inventory needs.
Supports FIFO Rotation: Ensures efficient inventory management.
Space Requirements: Requires ample aisle space for optimal use in a selective storage system.

Suitable for Any Climate: Works in ambient, refrigerated, and cold-storage environments, making it ideal for various storage needs.

Cost-Effective and Scalable: Selective Pallet Racking Explained

Design your selective pallet racking system to optimize pallet storage while maximizing vertical cube space. Selective pallet racking significantly improves space utilization compared to floor stacking, allowing for a higher number of SKUs per square foot. It is also versatile, supporting carton picking and single-item storage by incorporating wire decking or other decking materials on lower levels, converting them to hold non-palletized inventory.

This adaptability allows you to store a wide variety of products, improving the overall efficiency of inventory management and operation. Besides, you can easily adjust the pallet rack capacity to reconfigure the storage layout for inventory change needs.
