Pallet racks are one of the most useful types of warehouse shelving available thanks to their versatility and storage capacity—but are you using yours to their full potential? Take a look at our tips for maximizing pallet racking space:
Reduce aisle space: One of the best ways to maximize the space around your pallet racks is to reduce the width of aisles between them.
Reconsider their usage: A lot of warehouses use pallet racks for standard daily tasks like picking or shipping/receiving, but in many cases you can actually repurpose some of your less-populated racks for case flow and/or full-carton processing instead of individual item picks.
Make racks more mobile: For faster-moving products, it may be more worth it to move some inventory from your stationary pallet racks onto gravity flow racks to encourage product movement.
Look for unused room space: It might not always be possible, but a good way to improve storage space and free up room elsewhere in an area is to look for lesser-used space in rooms.
