What’s the difference between industrial shelving and pallet racking?
Warehouse shelving is a term that’s often applied to both industrial shelving and pallet racks and while the two are both used to hold goods or pallets of goods, they are also used in different situations.
Shelving is the basic type of storage system. Your typical industrial shelf is used for small goods. People pick up and place these goods by hand, not by using a forklift or other vehicle. They are generally shelved individually, not by pallet, although small goods may be bundled together or be in small boxes.
Shelving may be any height and have any number of shelves, usually made out of a solid piece of metal or wood.
Racking is generally regarded as wider, deeper and higher, It is .a storage system designed to store materials on pallets. Although there are many varieties of pallet racking, all types allow for the storage of palletized materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. Designed to be accessed only by machines such as forklifts, cherry pickers, or automated systems.
