Different Types Of Pallet Racks :



Different Types Of Pallet Racks :
Drive-through, or drive-in racks:
These are structures that are designed to support high-density storage. Drive-through, or drive-in racks are manufactured out of steel, and have enough space between the bays, or stack lanes to allow the movement of forklifts.
Push-back racking systems:
 These are manufactured in structural, or roll forms. Push-back racking systems are the perfect option for storing materials in bulk volume. They are also designed to accommodate items that occupy several pallets in width, as well as height. When an individual pallet is loaded onto the structure, it tends to push back the adjoining pallet from its original position on the rail.
Flow Racks:
Flow racks are synonymously referred to as gravity-flow racks and are the best option for storing items of high density. Items are generally deposited at higher-points, and unloaded from the lower-end. In short, it employs the FIFO loading-system. Racks automatically start rotating with the gradual loading of the products onto the shelves.
Selective Racks:
 Manufacturing experts state that this is the most common type of pallet racking system that is used in warehouses. Pallets can be accessed from the aisle. Beams are generally used to support the pallet systems. Selective racking systems can be customized according to the need, and they can be implemented in narrow, standard, or deep reach aisles.

The roll rack system is one of the major types of pallet racking systems. It is ideal for storing heavy equipment or parts but there may be height issues when installing it. Another major type is the aisle racking system which is very narrow and perfect for small items that are replaced frequently. It is not so flexible, hence, its configuration cannot be altered and it comes with a tracking system as well as being used together with conveyor systems.
