Standard Racking for Pallets

Standard racking is the most common racking style in warehouses today and is also known as edge racking or selective racking.

The rack consists of two upright steel frames connected by two horizontal steel beams, which the pallets rest on. This is where all edge racking capacities comes from. The empty space between the two racking beams is called a clear span.

Sometimes, for safety, companies use a 2×4 support beam or a wired deck to allow pallets with lower weight capacities to be used.
