Pallet Rack is a material handling storage aid system built to store materials on pallets. There are a lot of pallet racking systems and all them can store pallets in horizontal rows with multiple levels.

The pallet racking shelves are combined with the Forklift trucks. The Forklift trucks are used to place the pallets onto the pallet rack systems.

There are two types of pallet racking shelves you can find in Cyprus. These two are:

• Roll formed selective rack system
• Structural pallet rack system

Structural pallet rack system

Strength and Capacity

This kind of system is very strong. It has welded joints and the heavier steel. Structural racking shelves offer higher storage capacity than most of the roll form racks. This is because of their strength and stiffness. The structural pallet racking shelves are ideally used for heavy applications.

Impact and Resistance

The structural systems are hard to be damaged by the forklifts. This kind of installation is thicker and weigh more than the roll formed racking shelves. It’s bulky and for that reason it offers improved resistance. There are also others things to take in account, like the welded strengths of the joints.

Washing capabilities

Easy to wash and remove contaminants trapped inside the frame.

Weight

Much heavier than roll form racking shelves.

Outdoor Use

Used more often.

Installation

Longer to install.

Flexibility

Harder to adjust after installation.

Roll formed selective rack system

Strength and Capacity

This one is used for lighter pallets. The roll formed racking systems are less sturdy than a structural pallet rack shelving.

Impact and Resistance

Less resistant to impacts than structural pallet racking shelves. With the right use of materials can be more resistant.

Washing capabilities

Harder to wash than structural, but still it can be achieved, depending on the design of the pallet racking shelves.

Weight

Lighter than structural pallet racking shelves.

Outdoor Use

Can also be used outside, but not that likely.

Installation

Faster to install.

Flexibility

Beams can be quickly adjusted.
