SELECTIVE
PALLET RACKING
The most versatile and widely used warehouse racking system in North America. 100% selectivity with load capacities from 1,000 to 8,000 lbs per pair.
Why SELECTIVE PALLET RACKING?
The Problem
Your warehouse is losing money every time a forklift operator has to move pallets just to reach the one they need. Blocked aisles, shuffled inventory, and wasted labor hours add up fast.
Why It Gets Worse
In high-SKU environments, that problem compounds. FIFO compliance suffers. Pick times increase. Damage rates climb. And every minute your team spends rearranging product is a minute they’re not fulfilling orders.
The Solution
Selective pallet racking eliminates the problem entirely. Every pallet position is directly accessible — no shuffling, no double-handling. Roll-formed systems install fast and reconfigure in hours. Structural systems handle the heaviest loads in the most demanding environments. Either way, you get instant access to every SKU, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selective racking typically costs $50–$150 per pallet position for roll-formed systems and $80–$250 for structural systems, depending on height, load capacity, and accessories. We provide detailed pricing after a free site assessment that accounts for your specific requirements, seismic zone, and local building codes.
A typical 100-bay selective racking installation takes 3–5 business days with our professional crew. Larger projects of 500+ bays typically complete in 2–3 weeks. We work around your schedule, including nights and weekends, to minimize disruption to your operations.
Roll-formed (teardrop) systems handle 1,000–4,000 lbs per beam pair, while structural systems support 2,000–8,000 lbs per pair. Custom engineering can push these limits higher for specialized applications. All capacities are certified to CSA and RMI standards.
Selective racking requires annual professional inspections per CSA A344.2 standards. Between inspections, watch for damaged uprights, bent beams, missing safety clips, and overloaded positions. We offer inspection and repair services to keep your system compliant and safe.
Yes. Roll-formed systems are easily reconfigured—beam positions can be adjusted, and units can be disassembled and reassembled. Structural systems can also be relocated, though this typically requires professional engineering and installation. We offer relocation services to move existing systems to new locations or reconfigure them for different applications.
