Warehouse pallet racks: main types
After all, they are most convenient for storing any goods, regardless of their size and weight. And with the help of special equipment, any cargo can be lifted, lowered or moved quickly and easily. Pallet racks are of several types, which we will talk about.

Frontal
Have a metal construction of racks with several beams. Something like a library shelving for books. The racks have a large number of holes, which allows you to set the shelves to the required level for placing products of any range. The design of the front shelving can reach 14 meters in height. Access to the shelves is possible from two sides. Perhaps the only drawback is the need to ensure the passage of 3.1 m in width for maneuvering loading equipment. You can save space in the warehouse by putting two shelves close together. Thus, you will increase the size of the shelves on which you can store more products.

With narrow aisles
Installed at a distance of 1.5-1.8 m from each other, thereby increasing the density of filling the room. Of course, the loading equipment will not fit in the narrow aisle, therefore special pilers are used for loading or moving loads, the mechanism of which is able to rotate by 180 degrees. The only drawback of such racks is the need to provide a flat and durable surface for moving the stackers.

Stuffed (entry, deep)
Unlike previous shelving, ramming has a more rigid structure, in openings of which ramming rails are installed to move pallets with a load inwards. The width of such openings is from 1.3 to 1.4 m. The disadvantage is the possibility of placing on them a certain type of product for a long or unlimited storage time. As well as the need to install guide rails for the movement of special loading equipment.

Gravitational
Such pallet racks combine frontal and entry view. The internal space of the shelves is filled by rolling the goods along special inclined roller tracks. To place the goods on the need for special expensive equipment, as well as the observance of special loading technologies.

Mobile (mobile)
Such racks on special rollers can save the maximum usable space in the warehouse. After all, they can be installed close to each other, and if loading is necessary, just roll the goods along the rails. For storage of products you can use the same loading machine as for the front shelving.
