A pallet shelving system offers a storage solution that will enable various products to stack horizontally at different levels. Here in this post, we will introduce a few of the best systems for pallet shelving.

Among the various companies dealing with different warehouse equipment, Top Industries is one of the leading companies in the US, especially for pallet inverter.

For any warehouse operation, forklift pallet inverters are found in companies that need to exchange pallets. These pallet inverters can handle many different forms and weights that will be meant for streamlining the palletized goods flow between different areas of the warehouse.

The following are a few of the best warehouse pallet shelving systems available on the market:

Selective shelving system

This is the most well-liked shelving system because of its low price and variety of sizes and attachments. For traditional storage in any situation where objects need to be retrieved quickly, this shelving system is ideal.

Pros

• One can employ multiple forklifts due to the multiple entry locations and wider aisles
• Where the pallet numbers per SKU are within the single digits
• When you need immediate, unfettered access to any pallet
• When you have to select pallets from lower levels
• Can work with a very wide range of items.

Cons

You cannot use this system in the following situations:

• If you have got plenty of pallets per SKU
• When you have insufficient room
• When you need to select from more pallets than any of the lower-level pick faces is able to handle.

Double-Deep Shelving System

A variation that offers a significant density boost is the double deep Shelving system, however, it requires specialised tools (extendable forks) and also requires more time to set up. It combines the benefits of high-density and selective shelving.

Pros

• The forklift used with extended prongs is allowed
• It will be perfect for keeping your products with the same SKU if you have a large number of pallets for each SKU and also need a higher storage density.

Cons

You should avoid utilizing this when:

• Order picking from pallets will be necessary
• Pallets will be routinely accessible to pick and then put away
• You have got a greater number of SKUs along with single pallets in stock.

Pallet flow/live shelving system

Pallet flow racks are a high-density storage solution that combines elevated rails with moving parts like gravity rollers and conveyors. Gravity drives these industrial storage racks.

This shelving system is excellent for products with short shelf lives and has the potential to increase your warehouse’s storage space by two, three, or even four times.

Pros

• When FIFO is needed, the operation and stock must move at a fast rate.
• When there will be plenty of pallets for each SKU
• This is the right place to go in case you require a lot of room.
• It will be perfect if you want to store similar SKUs and also high-volume goods.
• Forklifts are supported.

Cons

Avoid using it when

• You have only a few pallets for each SKU
• You need to choose orders and cannot tolerate pallets will clash with each other because of line pressure
• You cannot tolerate snags produced by your pallets stalling on the roll tracks regularly
