1/ What is a pallet racking system?
A pallet racking system, also known as warehouse storage rack or pallet rack system, is a handling storage system designed to store and organize materials on pallets.
Pallet racking consists of horizontal rows of racks with multiple levels to store palletized materials. This system is commonly used in warehouses and industrial settings to efficiently utilize vertical space and organize goods for easy access and retrieval.

General components of pallet racking and its structure
There are some main parts forming a basic pallet racking: uprights, beams, bracings and wire decks.
3.1 Pallet racking uprights
Pallet racking uprights, also referred to as omega racks, upright frames, or upright posts, are the vertical channels that support the horizontal beams in a pallet racking system. These uprights play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and strength of the entire pallet racking structure.

3.2 Pallet racking beams
Pallet racking beams, also known as shelf beams, cross beams, or load beams, are the horizontal components that connect to the uprights in a pallet racking system. These beams are essential elements that form the shelves where palletized materials are stored.

3.3 Pallet racking bracings (crossbars)
Pallet racking bracings or crossbars, which include horizontal bracings and diagonal bracings, serve to connect upright frames and provide additional side support, effectively preventing lateral movement of the structure.

3.4 Wire decks
Wire decks, or wire mesh decking, are grid-like panels made of wire mesh that are designed to be placed on racking beams to create a shelf to store goods. Wire decks also enhance safety by preventing items from falling through the racking levels allow better visibility and airflow within the storage system.
