Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about selective racking.

What exactly is "Selective" Pallet Racking?

Selective racking is the most common form of warehouse storage because it provides 100% accessibility to every single pallet. Unlike high-density systems that require you to move inventory to reach the back, selective racking allows your forklift drivers to access any pallet at any time without repositioning others.

Why is it often called "Teardrop" racking?

The term refers to the shape of the punch holes on the upright frames, which resemble an inverted teardrop. This is the industry standard because it allows for a boltless, "shaved-head" pin connection. It's designed for rapid assembly and extreme structural stability without the need for specialized tools.

What does "Universal Fit" mean for my warehouse?

Universal Fit means that our teardrop components are engineered to be compatible with most other major teardrop brands. This gives you the freedom to expand your existing system or replace damaged uprights and beams without being locked into a proprietary, expensive manufacturer.

Is Selective Racking the most budget-friendly option?

Yes. Because of its simple design and high-volume production, selective racking has the lowest cost-per-pallet position of any storage system. It requires the least amount of steel per pallet and is the fastest and least expensive to install, making it the ideal choice for startups and scaling operations.

How difficult is it to reconfigure the beam levels?

One of the biggest benefits of the teardrop design is its adjustability. Beams can be unseated and moved in 2-inch increments in just seconds. This allows you to adapt your rack levels on the fly as your pallet heights or inventory profiles change, ensuring no vertical space is wasted.

What safety standards do these racks meet?

Every rack structure we provide is designed through licensed engineering to ensure maximum structural integrity and load-bearing safety. Our systems feature a durable powder-coated finish to resist industrial wear and tear, and include heavy-duty safety clips that securely lock beams into place, preventing accidental dislodgement during forklift operations.
