Pallet Rack Terminology from Ace Industrial
Equipment
If
you were to compile a list of pallet rack terminology,
you would literally find thousands of terms relating
to pallet rack. Pallet
rack may seem like a simple enough concept—basically
shelving for merchandise and other commercial
applications—but in reality, pallet rack
is a complicated business not to be taken lightly.
As an example, here is a
very basic list of pallet rack terminology:
- Upright
frames—the vertical columns that support
the shelving and pallets
- Horizontal
beams—the horizontal bars that are either
used as shelves, or support shelves and pallets
- Pallets—a
flat square or rectangular structure that is
used to support goods while being lifted and
moved by a forklift or pallet jack.
- Low
density—a type of pallet rack storage
that favors the ability to find, select, and
reach goods, instead of the ability to store
goods in a dense fashion
- High
density—a type of pallet rack storage
that favors packing a large amount of goods
in a small space, but the goods are less accessible
- Supply
chain logistics management—controlling
the efficient and effective movement and storage
of goods from manufacture to pallet rack to
consumption
- Warehouse
inventory labels—signage and labels
used to identify everything from safety issues
in the warehouse to items stored on the pallets
