Pallet Rack Shelving

Pallet rack shelving is undisputedly very useful in businesses that involve handling of massive inventories. It allows you to expand the surface area of your storage by converting the spaces above your head into another storage layer. Pallet rack shelvings make it possible to pile many pallets as high as the height of your actual warehouse. So if you have ceiling that are 20 feet taller, you can stack pallets as high as that and load tons of commodities without constructing a new warehouse.

Aside from letting you pile high layers of pallets, pallet rack shelving also serve as a means to evenly distribute the weight of your pallet load. This makes the entire shelving more stable and secured. Pallet rack shelving which is also called as rack decking is available in different thickness and sizes. It can be made from wire mesh construction that adds extra protection on the stored commodities by preventing dirt, dust and rubbishes from accumulating on the shelving.

Pallet rack shelving is available in different styles: the so called waterfall shelving; reverse waterfall shelving; and pop-in wire shelving or decking. In waterfall shelving, the wire mesh is extended until the top and bottom part of front of the beam to give more support; hence this is the most preferred shelving of many warehouses.

Reverse waterfall shelving or decking has a special feature that prevents loose materials from falling behind the pallet rack system. Pop-in wire on the other hand is the shelving that rests within the step of the beam.

Pallet rack shelving is frequently constructed from wire mesh that can be penetrated by sprinkler systems once a fire started in the warehouse. This makes wire mesh a more practical material for rack shelving instead of solid metals. Lastly, rack shelving can be used in many ways; they can be use together with commercial ladders, pallet jacks with scales, teardrop pallet racks, utility carts and even gas and electric pallet trucks.
