When it comes to optimising inventory storage systems, selecting the right pallet racking system is indispensable. Each type of system has its own unique features, advantages, and limitations. Here are the key differences between each, which will help you choose the best option for your business.
Warehouse Pallet Racks:
Warehouse pallet racks are standard flat platforms used for storing and transporting products or materials. These racks are suitable for both heavy and lightweight goods, making them versatile for storage, transportation, and logistics operations. The typical equipment used for handling includes forklifts or pallet jacks. Known for their flexibility, warehouse pallet racks can accommodate a wide range of products.
However, warehouse pallet racking systems offer moderate space efficiency. They are commonly constructed from materials like plastic, metal, and wood. While they are durable, widely available, and versatile, one of their key drawbacks is the significant space they occupy, especially when arranged in single-depth configurations.
Long Span Pallet Racks:
Long span pallet racking is a popular choice for storing hand-picked items or light-duty loads. It is ideal for light to medium loads and works well in small to medium-sized inventory systems. No specialised equipment is required for operation.
It is highly flexible, adapting to various lengths and heights, making it efficient for hand-loaded items or non-palletised goods. Constructed with steel or alloy frames and wood or metal shelves, the long span pallet racking system is adjustable and can accommodate a wide range of small to medium-sized products. However, its major drawback is that it is not suitable for storing large items.
Double Deep Pallet Racks:
A double deep pallet racking system is designed to maximise storage density by allowing deeper storage of pallets. It is ideal for holding large, bulky items and is well-suited for large warehouses that require bulk storage. To operate, a forklift with longer tynes is necessary. While the system offers high-density storage, its flexibility is limited due to the two-deep storage configuration.
The required space is double the pallet storage depth to accommodate larger goods. Constructed with heavy-duty steel frames, the double deep pallet racking system provides a robust platform for storing large products in limited space. However, a major drawback is the difficulty in accessing the inner pallets, which requires additional forklifts to reach them.
