Selective Racking

This is the most popular type of pallet racking. Selective racking allows 100% access to every pallet as each pallet faces an aisle. Selective racking can be easily reconfigured to accommodate changing needs.

Selective Rack is not the most dense type of storage, but it provides the greatest access to each pallet stored. Pushback, drive-in, and pallet flow racking are often used in the same facility as selective racking since these types of storage racking provide more density for high volume or long-term storage needs. Selective racking can be designed to handle nearly any size or weight pallet and is often used with wire decking or pallet supports to alleviate the risk a misplaced pallet will fall. Selective rack can be designed in multiple roll-formed options. Clip type teardrop style is the most popular. Selective racking can be constructed from structural steel which is more damage resistant than roll-formed racking.
