Pallet racks provide
organized storage for palletized loads or large containers to make use of
vertical space and increase storage density in warehouses, distribution
centers, and other storage facilities.
They have vertical uprights that connect
to horizontal beams to create multiple shelf levels.
Loads are moved onto and off
of the racks with forklifts or similar vehicles. Pallet rack kits include the
necessary parts for building a pallet rack. Individual components such as
uprights, beams, decking, crossbars, spacers, and hardware are used to expand,
repair, or maintain existing racks.
Enclosures and netting can be added to
pallet racks to control access to their contents and stop loads from falling
off them.
Aisle guards and upright protectors help prevent damage to pallet
racks from forklift collisions and similar hazards.
Gravity-flow hangers and
flow rack conveyors convert pallet racks into flow racks for first-in,
first-out inventory initiatives.
