Anatomy

The components, labeled.

Upright Frame

Two vertical posts joined by horizontal stiffeners and diagonal braces. The structural backbone — height + load capacity defined here. 14-13ga cold-rolled steel.

Step Beam

Horizontal load-bearing member. Front + rear pair per level supports pallets. Available in 96", 108", 120" lengths. Capacity: 2,000-5,000 lb per pair.

Diagonal Brace

Welded into the upright frame for lateral stability. Prevents rocking under load. Replaced whenever a frame is impacted — never bent back into place.

Footplate

Steel plate welded to the base of each upright post. Distributes load to the slab and accepts anchor bolts. Required by CSA A344-17 on every frame.

Wire Deck (Optional)

Welded-wire mesh deck on top of beams. Required where loose items, totes, or smaller-footprint pallets are stored. Improves fire sprinkler effectiveness.

Safety Pin (Beam Connector)

Locks beam to upright. Prevents accidental disengagement during loading. Required by CSA A344-17 — every beam, every connection.

Anchor Bolt

Wedge or sleeve anchor through footplate into slab. Two per footplate minimum. Embedment depth + slab thickness must meet manufacturer spec — every install permit-stamped.

Why selective pallet racking?

Because every pallet position must be independently accessible. The default racking system for GTA warehouses with mixed-velocity SKUs, e-commerce fulfillment, and 50+ pallet moves per aisle per day.

Applications

Where selective pallet racking wins.

Mixed-velocity SKUs

When you need to pick any pallet at any time. 100% selectivity means every pallet is directly accessible — no shuffle, no LIFO constraint.

High picking frequency

E-commerce fulfillment, parts distribution, food-service distribution — anywhere pick frequency > 50 pallets/day per aisle.

Variable pallet sizes

Beam levels are field-adjustable in 2" increments. Heights can be reconfigured as your SKU profile evolves — no recommissioning.
