How to Order Your Perfect Pallet Racking Storage Racks: A Step-by-Step Guide

Looking for the perfect pallet racking system to maximize your warehouse space and improve efficiency? You’re in the right place. At Herdzco Industrial, we specialize in high-quality pallet racking systems, warehouse shelving, and storage rack solutions—both new and used. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose, customize, and order the perfect pallet rack system for your storage needs.

Why Choosing the Right Pallet Racking System Matters

Investing in the right warehouse racking system can:

• Maximize your vertical and horizontal space

• Improve inventory accessibility and workflow

• Boost warehouse safety

• Support heavier loads efficiently

Whether you're managing a small stockroom or a massive distribution center, the right storage racks make all the difference.

Step 1: Know Your Inventory and Storage Needs

Before you buy pallet racking, ask yourself:

• What size pallets do you use? (Standard 40” x 48”?)

• How much weight does each pallet hold?

• What kind of products are you storing—bulk items, cartons, irregular shapes?

✅ Pro Tip: Make a list of your pallet dimensions, total inventory volume, and heaviest pallet weight. This helps you choose the right rack type and capacity.

Step 2: Measure Your Warehouse Space

Accurate measurements are critical.

• Ceiling height (for calculating max rack height)

• Floor dimensions

• Column and door placements

• Aisle spacing requirements (consider forklift clearance)

📏 Don’t forget to check floor load capacity to ensure it can support a full racking system.

Step 3: Choose the Right Pallet Rack Type

There are several types of pallet racking systems, each with its own benefits:

🔹 Teardrop Pallet Racking (Most Popular)

• Easy to install and reconfigure

• Compatible with most warehouse systems

• Ideal for general-purpose use

🔹 Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking

• High-density storage

• Perfect for large volumes of similar products

• Fewer aisles needed

🔹 Push-Back Racking

• Multiple pallets deep

• Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) system

• Great for storing perishable goods

🔹 Cantilever Racks

• Ideal for long or awkward items (pipes, lumber, furniture)

• Full manufacturer warranty
