FAQ
Here are some of our frequently asked questions:
What is a Pallet Racking System?
Consisting of upright frames, pallet beams, and supports, a pallet rack is a type of storage system that maximizes vertical space. You can store fully loaded pallets on it, as they can take incredibly heavy loads.
What Are Pallet Racking Beams?
Beams hold the weight of the products in your pallet shelving system. You need them to bear heavy loads. Usually made from industrial steel, pallet racking beams connect to the upright frame and provide extra support.
Do I Need Pallet Racking Beams?

What is Push Back Pallet Racking?
Push-back pallet racking is a high-density storage type that allows multiple pallets to be stored within each bay. Pallets are loaded and unloaded from one side, while the opposite end is used for storage. This system utilizes a series of inclined rails and carts that allow pallets to slide forward as items are removed, easily creating a first-in-last-out (FILO) inventory management system.
