Selective pallet racking is one of the most widely used storage systems. Its structure is a combination of vertical uprights and horizontal beams, and it can come in many different sizes and configurations. It’s called selective” because you can easily choose any pallet load directly. It’s commonly arranged in a wide aisle pattern, so there is no need for any specialized methods of handling equipment. And with this style of racking, you only use 40% of floor space, while protecting your valuable goods. Combine that with the ease of loading and unloading, and you get a much faster throughput.

All types of storage systems have their pros and cons, so it’s mostly up to the warehouse managers and business owners to decide what’s best for them. However, here are some of the reasons why we think the selective pallet rack system is a great choice.

Easily accessible. Even though you’re limited to one pallet position, the good thing is that you have access to a higher number of units. Selective pallet racking is built with efficiency in mind. With this system, more than one forklift can be used in the same aisle, and at the same time. This method allows you to move inventory in and out of your warehouse quickly, thus making it easier to keep up with customer inquiries.

Maximize the storage space of your facility. This system is simple and works by each pallet position having its own immediately accessible spot. While many other systems are more complicated, selective pallet racking systems are much simpler. The few important things you need to take into consideration are the dimensional and weight requirements of your product, and the capacity of your racking.

Customized to suit your storage needs. The selective pallet racking system is considered a versatile and cost-effective solution. If you decide to have this system installed, you just need to determine your height restrictions and how many levels you want. Other things to take into consideration are ceiling obstructions and what kind of product you are storing, as to whether wire decking is needed as well.

As we stated before, although you’re limited to one pallet position, you have direct access to a higher number of units. This makes the select pallet racking system an excellent option for those who use a first in first out (FIFO) inventory management system. Ideally, your warehouse stores large quantities of products or where stock-keeping units (SKU’s) with a smaller amount of stock needed to be kept on hand and moved quickly. The best industries for this system would be those that involve:

● Wholesale

● Cold storage

● Retail store inventory

The selective pallet racking system is an excellent option for those who want storage that is easy to implement, use, and maintain. With the right planning and installation, it will help you save both time and money thanks to its efficiency.
