Racking Storage Systems
Selective Racking

Many varieties of rack storage exist, the most basic and common rack is the "Selective rack".

This rack generally stores two pallets per bay. A bay is described as between two uprights.
This is the simplest of all storage systems and provides direct access to all pallets. The density
achieved with this form of storage is approximately 50% as the aisles and racks share approximately
equal space, (if reach fork trucks are used).
Advantages

 Easy to adjust, change or relocate.

 Prevents damage to goods from compression.
 Enables access to any pallet without moving others.

 Bottom pallet is stored on the floor.
 Can be used up to 8 metre heights providing frame sizes are increased.
