Selective Rack
Selectivity vs. Storage Density

The most common rack,selective provides the most selectivity and flexibility, but least storage density
Selective rack provides 100% selectivity for every pallet. You can always access every pallet in a selective rack system. But the compromise is less storage density—you will use more space for fewer positions because selective rack requires numerous aisles and has less storage density. It takes up space in exchange forits high degree of selectivity. For faster moving product in busy warehouse, and the best access, selective racks are the system of choice.

Configuring Selective Rack
Pallet & Load

If required, round up to the next highest beam length. (5) Check the beam capacity to ensure the specified beams will carry the planned load.

Upright Height

(6) Determine your upright height:

• Multiplythe number of pallets high stored minus one pallet x 10”. Example: if you’re storing 4 pallets high, then use multiple 3 pallets x 10”. 3 x 10” =30” • Multiply the number of pallets stored minus one pallet by the overall load height. Include the pallet height in the overall load height. Example: Overall load height of 50”, 4 pallets high, minus one pallet. 3 x 50” =150”. (CONT.) • Add the twonumbers (30” + 150”=180” in this case). This number is your upright height.

(1) Determine the depth and width of your pallet. (2) Determine the load depth, load width, load height and weight of your largest load. For the height, add the height of the load and the height of the pallet together for the total. Reference Illustration: pallet rack dimensional guide

Notes on Rack Upright Height

—The12” space between pallets allows for beam depth and space to lift and remove the pallet.

(3) Determine the front-to-back depth of your uprights: Subtract 6” from your pallet depth. Example: Your pallet is 40”W x 48”L. Subtract 6” from 48”. The result: 42” uprights. See the upright chart below for our standard inventory upright sizes. Note that many others are available.

Depth

(4)Determine the beam width (assumes 2 pallets per beam): Multiply load width x 2 and add 12”. Example: Load width is 42”. 2 x 42” = 84”+12”=96” beam length.

Beam Width & Capacity

—Be certain there is adequate space left between load height of uppermost pallet and sprinkler heads, light fixtures, and other obstructions that may exist overhead. —If you plan to store more than two pallets per beam, ormore than four pallets high, or your overall pallet height is more than 60” or your pallet weight is more than 3,000 pounds, contact us for assistance.
