How to size pallet racking?
Sizing pallet racking relies on six parameters our design office always checks:
- Pallet type and dimensions: Euro 800 × 1,200 mm, industrial 1,000 × 1,200 mm or specific
- Maximum weight of a loaded pallet, which determines the beam profile
- Usable building height and forklift lift height
- Aisle width required by the truck: 2.8 to 3.5 m for counterbalance, from 1.6 m with reach trucks
- Permissible floor load (slab) and frame base fixing
- SKU rotation: direct access to every pallet or high-density drive-in storage
Single run, back-to-back or drive-in pallet racking: which one?
| Criterion | Single run | Back-to-back | Drive-in racking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layout | Against a wall | Central, back to back | Compact drive-through blocks |
| Pallet access | Direct, 100% of SKUs | Direct, 100% of SKUs | By lane, LIFO/FIFO |
| Storage density | Medium | Good | Very high (up to +80%) |
| SKU variety | High | High | Low (one SKU per lane) |
| Typical use | Warehouse perimeter | Warehouse core | Large homogeneous volumes, cold rooms |
