What is the difference between pallet racking and shelving?
Feature | Pallet Racking | Shelving |
Storage Type | Piles of palletized goods | Smaller items (boxes, books, etc.) |
Capacity | High load-bearing capacity, heavy items | Lighter load capacity |
Use Case | Warehouses, distribution centers | Offices, retail stores, homes |
Access | Forklifts required, more complex access | Manual access, easy to retrieve |
System Complexity | Highly customizable and complex | Simpler, modular, easy to adjust |
Height | Designed for high vertical storage | Lower height, manual access |
Accessibility | Selective or FIFO, may require special equipment | Easy to access by hand |
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.
