What is the difference between pallet racking and shelving?

Pallet racking is ideal for large-scale, high-density storage of palletized goods in industrial settings, where forklifts and other material handling equipment are used. It’s designed for heavy-duty use, typically found in warehouses and distribution centers.

Shelving is better suited for smaller, lighter items that require manual access and are typically used in environments like offices, homes, or retail spaces. It’s more modular, simpler, and easier to manage for low-density storage needs.
