Automated Pallet Racking Systems for Warehouse Storage

Adjustable pallet racking, commonly known as Selective Rack, features beam levels that can be repositioned on 2-inch vertical increments to accommodate varying pallet heights and load sizes. This flexibility allows warehouses to reconfigure storage layouts as SKU profiles change without purchasing new components, making it the most versatile and widely used pallet rack type in distribution and warehousing.

Selective Rack provides single-deep, 100% accessible pallet storage suitable for a wide range of load sizes and weights. Carton Flow Racks use gravity-fed roller or skate-wheel lanes to enable first-in, first-out carton picking. Selective Rack targets full-pallet storage, while Carton Flow Racks are optimized for high-velocity, each-pick order fulfillment in pick modules and distribution centers.

FIFO stands for First-In, First-Out inventory management, meaning the oldest inventory is always picked first. This is critical in industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics where products are date-coded or lot-controlled. Carton Flow Racks are purpose-built for FIFO access, loading from the rear and picking from the front to ensure proper inventory rotation automatically.

Distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment operations, food and beverage warehouses, pharmaceutical facilities, automotive parts distributors, cold storage facilities, and manufacturing plants all benefit significantly. These systems improve space utilization, picking speed, and inventory accuracy — key performance drivers across any industry that stores, picks, or ships palletized or cartonized goods at scale.
