Conventional pallet racking is the perfect industrial shelving solution, for storing small light components to giant heavy cartons to fit for your loading requirements, due to the flexibility of adjusting height and configuration with different choices of metal shelving. Racking arranged in this way gives high quality storage but may only utilise 40% of the available floor space, the rest being access aisles. However, fast throughput and ease of loading and unloading make this type of storage extremely popular.
In any racking layout, there are four main considerations.
a. The space occupied by the unit load and the storage system.
b. The width of the aisles between the unit loads to facilitate access.
c. The width of the gangways running at right angles to the aisles.
d. Any other areas allocated to marshalling areas, vehicle loading and fire escape routes.

The width and thickness of the beams will also vary, the general width is between 80mm and 120mm, and the thickness is between 1.5mm and 2.5mm.
Accessories information: The accessories of storage pallet racks include connectors, supports and safety parts. Common accessories include column connectors, beam connectors, diagonal braces, anchor bolts, etc. The specific specifications and materials of these accessories depend on the design and manufacturing standards of the shelf, and can be according to specific needs.
It should be noted that the dimensions and accessories mentioned above are general and conventional ranges, and the specific dimensions and accessories may vary due to design requirements and types of goods.
Conventional pallet Racking is specifically constructed and designed for tough loads between 1000kg – 4000kgs/UDL (Uniformly Distributive Load) where it is the most suitable system for Heavy-capacity warehouse users.
