Pallet racks include multiple parts that help to support the weight of the pallet itself, and it’s contents. Upright frames are the vertical columns that provide structural support. Beams connect the uprights and are what pallets rest on. Decking is added to help improve support and safety if items fall from the pallet. Row spacers or column protectors can be added to improve the systems integrity, making it possible for the system to hold more weight.

Similar to any other metal storage option, pallet racking should be frequently inspected for rust, loose bolts, or damaged upright frames. Damage should be addressed immediately. Dusting or wiping down with a cloth is typically enough to keep racking looking new. Make sure to keep the area around the racking clean and clear to prevent accidents.

These systems can range in height and be adjusted based on the location. The typicall range is anywhere from 8 to 30 feet.

Wire decking is a component that sits on the support beams to help support unstable loads and prevent products from falling. Wire decking can also improve visibility of products and allow air to pass through. While not all products will benefit from wire decking, it can be a beneficial add on for most industries.
