Put simply, pallet racking us a storage system (or ‘material handling’ system) that’s specifically designed to hold goods stored on pallets. Typically made up of multiple layers/levels of shelving, the pallets can be accessed by an operative using a forklift truck. By using the vertical space of a warehouse, businesses are able to maximise the storage available to them, increasing storage density and fitting more pallets into the same size warehouse.

There are different types of pallet racking to suit different types of products, sizes or layouts of warehouse, inventory turnaround times and so on.
