Our Pallet Racking Equipment

From selective racking to carton flow, cantilever, components, and safety guardrails, we’ve got you covered. Get a FREE Warehouse Quote today and let us recommend exactly what you need—fast and hassle-free.

Single Selective Pallet Racking

We offer Roll formed or Structural Single Deep Selective rack options for all industries and applications from basic Dry storage to Perishable Cold Storage environments. Selective pallet rack is the most common static storage solution for most basic warehouse configurations. Selective or “Single Deep” offers affordable storage, good selectivity to product and you can set the aisle spacing to fit your forklift specifications. High Sku counts with slow to moderate turn rates are easily stored and retrieved for shipping.

Teardrop style is the most common Roll Formed style used today. The beam connection is boltless and snaps into place, making installation quick and easy. Changing beam elevations at later dates become much quicker as well. Structural steel C-Channels with round hole punched upright columns is a fully bolted design “Structural” selective style for heavier and cold storage applications available as well.

Key Benefits
  • Maximises single deep storage to match space available
  • Lower Cost Initial Investment that can easily be reconfigured
  • Maintenance and Durability Add ons are affordable
  • Selectivity and access to products is always direct in single deep storage
Use When
  • Basic Warehouse Pallet Storage is the goal
  • Slow to Moderate Throughput is required
  • Moderate Selectivity is needed
  • FIFO rotation is important
  • Quick Set up and Easy adjustability is important

Carton Flow Racking

Carton flow racking is a gravity-fed storage system designed to maximize picking efficiency and product organization. Cartons, totes, or individual items are loaded from the back and glide forward on inclined lanes, ensuring automatic replenishment as products are picked from the front.

Ideal for fast-moving products and high-SKU inventory, carton flow systems can increase storage density by up to 60% while reducing floor space requirements by at least 22%. The system maintains product organization with dedicated lanes that consistently present boxes to the picker, speeding up order fulfillment and lowering labor costs.

Key Benefits
  • Ideal for FIFO stock rotation
  • Reduces shelf time and prevents aging stock
  • Improves product visibility for faster identification
  • Minimizes handling and reduces labor strain
  • Saves space and increases storage density
  • Boosts picking efficiency and speeds up order fulfillment
Use When
  • Fast-moving item picking is required
  • Maximizing SKU storage in limited space is a priority
  • FIFO stock rotation is necessary
  • Reducing labor costs and increasing pick speed matters
  • Product visibility and organization are important
  • Picking involves split-case or carton handling, not full pallets

Pallet Flow Racking

Heavy-duty skate wheel lanes are installed within pallet racks and set at a slight incline, allowing palletized loads to flow forward using gravity for efficient picking. This high-density storage system reduces aisle space requirements and eliminates the need for forklifts to enter the racking structure.

Pallet flow systems are typically loaded from the rear, with products automatically advancing to the picking face. They’re especially well-suited for applications with lower SKU counts, where bulk storage and streamlined inventory rotation are key priorities.

Key Benefits
  • Ideal for FIFO stock rotation
  • Offers high-density storage for palletized product
  • Eliminates the number of aisles needed over traditional layouts
  • Forklifts don’t enter the rack, maintenance as a result of damage is reduced
Use When
  • High-density storage of palletized product is needed
  • The need to save space is more important than selectivity
  • Ideal for maintaining FIFO (if loaded from the back with forward flow)
  • Reduce & limit product handling
  • Stage loads in designated aisles for shipment

Pushback Racking

There are two types of Push Back Systems available. We offer a dedicated “Cart” or Gravity Roller Lane design. These systems work by placing palletized loads on a series of nesting carts, pallets pushed back into the storage system and fed forward by gravity on sturdy structural steel rails when product is needed. The first pallet rests on the top cart, the second pallet pushes the pallet backwards, additional pallets rest on nested carts and continue pushing the product back.

Multiple pick facings for a variety of palletized SKUs can be stored and retrieved in any particular lane that needs access.

Key Benefits
  • Low-profile nesting carts for more storage area
  • LIFO – Last-In-First-Out stock rotation
  • Scalable & simple to use
  • Automatic pick face auto replenished, no waiting
Use When
  • A lower-cost solution to flow pallets affordably
  • Push-back is a more versatile storage solution than Drive-In systems
  • Cart designs can be made to accommodate standard or special-size pallets
  • Storage density for up to 6 pallets deep flowing with the use of gravity

Structural Racking

Structural Racks are designed with high-strength structural C-Channel Steel. We still utilize 3″ or 4″ upright columns capacity determines which upright and beam channel is used. Structural is a fully bolted design, beams and pallet cross bars all “Bolt-In” to the round punched hole design.

We typically like to use structural racking for Drive-In/ Drive Thru, Push back and Flow Systems for a positive locking connection. Structural rack is often the choice in Cold Storage environments. A full line of product add-on accessories for safety and durability are also available.

Key Benefits
  • Strong and durable
  • Fully bolted design for security & safety
  • Long-term ROI
  • Lower maintenance costs from forklift impact
Use When
  • High-strength steel is required
  • Preventing against forklift abuse is needed
  • Moving / storing heavy palletized loads with high turn rates
  • Durability is preferred over cost

Cantilever Pallet Racking

Ideal storage for storing long or heavy items such as: pipe, steel bundles, furniture or lumber. We offer options for small shop storage to large warehouse storage needs or outdoor units with partial roof coverage.Cantilever can be single sided or double sided 500 to 2,000 lbs. per arm level capacity.
Uprights can be placed on specific center to center spacing to accommodate any type of storage needs.

There are many cantilever arm lengths and styles available from straight to incline with removable pipe sockets for loose product containment.

Key Benefits
  • Fully customizable storage for long-length storage needs
  • Capacities to meet all storage needs
  • Arm lengths and styles offer endless options
  • Center-to-center spacing allows for maximized storage and handling
Use When
  • Long-length product storage is needed to support the product
  • Outdoor or indoor storage for raw goods or lumber is needed
  • Designed to manage varying product lengths and make accessible
  • The need to minimize handling and damage in stored location is essential
