Selective pallet racking is the most popular pallet storage method. It is the easiest way to increase the capacity of any warehouse, storeroom or storage area. This pallet rack system is often the base for other storage solutions, such as pushback, drive-in, carton flow and pallet flow options. ProRack carries an extensive selection of customizable and in-stock racking systems to help meet your warehouse’s unique needs. Our team is ready to work with you to develop the solutions that best suit your facility. We can also buy your existing racking structure, whether you purchased it from us or another supplier.
The pallet rack system’s vertical frames determine the material handling system’s height and depth.
These horizontal bars connect to the uprights to support the pallets and dictate each bay’s length.
This component lays over the beams |and supports the pallets while keeping the beams from spreading.
When selecting pallet racking for your warehouse, it is important to consider your capabilities, equipment and processes. These aspects of your facility will determine your selective racking’s dimensions.
Pallets dictate the upright frame’s depth and the pallet rack beam’s length.
The forklift’s lift height determines the correct upright height.
The height and width of open space in your warehouse affect how many racks you can fit into your facility.

Single-deep pallet racks can benefit your warehouse’s operational flow, providing flexibility, accessibility and optimization. This racking system will increase your storage capacity, enabling you to increase productivity and revenue.
Selective pallet racking is a warehouse storage system that gives you direct access to every individual pallet position. It’s built from upright frames, horizontal beams, and optional wire decking, and it’s one of the most widely used pallet storage systems out there — mostly because it’s so accessible and flexible.
There’s a lot to like: direct pallet access, flexible configurations, efficient use of your vertical warehouse space, and relatively low costs compared to more specialized storage systems. It’s also versatile enough to handle a wide range of pallet sizes, weights, and inventory types.
It’s a great fit for warehouses that store a variety of products and need frequent access to individual pallets. You’ll commonly see it used in retail, manufacturing, food handling, distribution, and general warehousing.
The right dimensions come down to your pallet size and weight, available warehouse space, ceiling height, forklift capabilities, and how many pallet positions you need. ProRack can help figure out the right upright, beam, and overall system dimensions based on your facility and inventory.
Capacity depends on the upright frames, beams, rack configuration, and overall system specifications. Selective pallet racking can be designed for a wide range of pallet weights, but always stick to the rated capacity of your specific components and configuration.
That depends on your warehouse’s clear height, forklift lift capabilities, pallet dimensions, storage needs, and other facility factors. Making the most of your vertical space is actually one of the biggest perks of selective pallet racking.
Teardrop pallet racking is a popular style of selective rack that uses teardrop-shaped openings in the upright frames. Beam connectors fit right into those openings and lock into place — a simple, boltless design. ProRack offers both new and used teardrop pallet rack components.
You’ll need three main pieces: upright frames, horizontal beams, and wire decking. Uprights set the rack’s height and depth, beams support the pallet loads and determine bay length, and wire decking adds extra support across the beams.
Definitely. It can be configured in different heights, depths, beam lengths, and capacities to fit your specific pallets, inventory, equipment, and warehouse layout.
Yes — flexibility is one of the best things about selective pallet racking. Beam levels and layouts can often be adjusted or reconfigured as your storage needs change, as long as the new setup still works for the system and its load requirements.
Selective racking typically stores pallets one position deep, giving you direct access to each one. Drive-in racking stores pallets multiple positions deep and lets forklifts drive right into the rack structure — you get greater storage density, but less easy access to individual pallets.
Yes, it’s a great match. Since every pallet position is directly accessible, selective racking really shines for operations with diverse SKUs or high inventory turnover — workers don’t have to shuffle other pallets out of the way to grab what they need.
You can do either. ProRack offers both new and used teardrop pallet rack components, so you can choose based on your storage needs, availability, and budget.
Yes, it works in existing facilities just as well as new ones. The layout just needs to take into account your available floor and vertical space, forklift requirements, pallet dimensions, and existing operations.
Just share some details about your facility, pallet dimensions and weights, desired storage capacity, available space, and any installation requirements. From there, ProRack can help pinpoint the right system and put together a customized quote for your project.
When you need help finding the best storage options for your unique needs, we have you covered. ProRack offers a full range of new and used teardrop pallet rack components.
