Generally, selecting a suitable pallet racking system is a multifaceted process as choosing the wrong kind of racking may adversely affect the warehouse productivity and may also lead to an expensive repair. There are several aspects to consider like cost & budget, floor dimensions, safety and durability for efficient storage of products. To know more about the factors to consider before installing a pallet racking system, see the following slides.

1. Factors to Consider Before
Installing a Pallet Racking
System

2. While installing a pallet
racking, the efficiency and
storage of products in the
warehouse is always the
top priority.

3. Selecting a suitable pallet
racking system is a
multifaceted process with
the need to consider
several compelling
aspects.

4. Choosing the wrong kind
of racking may adversely
affect the warehouse
productivity and may also
lead to an expensive
repair.

5. Here are some of the
factors to consider before
installing a pallet racking
system.

6. • Cost and budget

7. Budget is the main
constraint in the
installation of the pallet
racking system that affects
the design and efficiency.

8. Try to avoid buying the
cheaper racks as the
lowest price does not
always equate to the best
value.

9. Always invest in the
expertise of an
experienced warehouse
solution provider who can
install an optimized pallet
racking system.

10. • Height & floor
space

11. It is important to measure
and estimate the accurate
height and floor space
available for the
installation of the racking
system.

12. Right evaluation can help
you to potentially double
the capacity of the racking
system.

13. When the height of the
warehouse is more, the
racking can dramatically
increase the vertical
storage capacity at a cost-
effective rate.

14. • Storage density

15. The weight, quantity, and
size of your Stock keeping
unit(SKU) helps to
determine the right pallet
rack for your warehouse.

16. There are particular pallet
racks for specific industry
needs that allows storing
the heavy, medium and
light loads in an organized
manner.

17. You may install push-
backs, pallet flow, drive-
through, drive-in and
double deep racks when
there is a need for storage
of heavy weighted goods.

18. • Accessibility

19. The frequency of stock
turnaround decides the
type of pallet racking
system to be installed for
better accessibility.

20. The access to the racked
products depends on the
type of goods, the rate of
stock rotation and
movement and the
operating systems for
dispatch.

21. In case of a LIFO
inventory control system,
drive-in or push back
racks and for FIFO
system, pallet flow racks
are the best suitable
option.

22. • Safety

23. Proper design and
construction of the pallet
racking system is the most
important aspect of a
successful project.

24. Safety is always the
paramount concern while
installing the racking
system.

25. Knowing that the racks are
installed and assembled in
accordance with stringent
guidelines for loading and
positioning adds more safety to
the products and people.

26. • Durability &
maintenance

27. The durability and proper
maintenance of the
racking is one of the
important factors for the
busy warehouse
environment.

28. Also the availability of the
spare parts for any of the
damaged components in a
cost-effective and fast
process is vital for the
continued operation of the
warehouse.

29. Therefore, before deciding
the best pallet racking
system option for your
business, always consider
the longevity of the
installed storage solution.
