Selective Pallet Racks in Greensboro, NC

Selective pallet racks give general distribution operations direct access to individual pallets. They are a practical starting point when inventory includes many different items and storage assignments change with incoming goods.

The planning discussion starts with the heaviest pallet, overall load dimensions, and the way your team receives and retrieves inventory. We translate those details into a proposed arrangement with free CAD drawings and an itemized quote. The goal is a storage plan that makes sense for everyday pallet access as well as the number of positions required.

Selective storage keeps individual pallet positions accessible without placing another pallet in front of them. That access suits a changing mix of items in general distribution. Organize the layout around the inventory groups and handling patterns that matter to your operation. Where repeated pallets of the same item become a larger share of storage, compare deeper lane options before assigning the whole building to one arrangement.

Use the heaviest intended pallet when selecting beam capacity and planning levels. Capacity applies per beam pair at each level, while the frame depends on its height and beam spacing. Pallet dimensions also guide beam length and frame depth. Record the actual load rather than relying on a nominal pallet description, and include load plaques in the planning discussion.

For standard 48-inch-deep pallets, 42-inch-deep uprights are a common starting point. A 96-inch beam often carries two 40-inch pallets; 108-inch and 144-inch lengths serve other arrangements, with 144-inch beams commonly carrying three. Measure the loaded pallets, including overhang, before choosing a bay width.

An aisle is part of the storage arrangement, not leftover space after racks are placed. Forklift type, lift limits, and available clear height affect which positions can be served. Compare the proposed layout with your equipment before approving beam levels. A position count is only useful when the pallets can be placed and retrieved within the intended operating arrangement.

When new material will connect with an existing arrangement, provide photographs of connections and any identification labels. Teardrop connections are not universal, so appearance alone is not enough to select an addition. Review the intended loads and layout alongside those details. Installation is handled by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage, and lead time is confirmed in the quote.
