Why Universal Row Spacers Are a Smart Investment for Any Pallet Racking System

When it comes to pallet racking, stability and safety are just as important as maximizing storage capacity. One of the most overlooked but essential components in achieving this is the row spacer. At Herdzco Industrial, we recommend universal row spacers because they’re designed to fit all teardrop pallet racking uprights—regardless of make, model, or manufacturer.

What Are Row Spacers?

Row spacers are steel connectors that bolt between two back-to-back pallet rack uprights, ensuring they remain straight, aligned, and secure. They help maintain even spacing between rows, prevent leaning under heavy loads, and provide the structural stability needed for high-density storage.

The Problem With Traditional Row Spacers

Most row spacers on the market are brand-specific. That means they’re only designed to fit the bolt patterns of uprights made by the same manufacturer. If you’re running a warehouse that has uprights from different brands (a very common scenario in facilities that mix new and used racking), these traditional row spacers simply won’t fit.

This creates challenges such as:

• Limited flexibility in expansion projects

• Incompatibility when combining racking from different manufacturers

• The need to purchase multiple types of row spacers for the same warehouse

The Advantage of Universal Row Spacers

Unlike brand-specific versions, universal row spacers from Herdzco Industrial are engineered to fit any teardrop pallet racking upright. Whether your racking is Interlake, Mecalux, Ridg-U-Rak, Steel King, or a mix of several brands, these spacers bolt right into place.

Key benefits include:

• Universal Fit – Works with all teardrop-style pallet racking uprights

• Easy Installation – Bolts directly to the front face of the upright

• Stronger Stability – Keeps uprights aligned and prevents shifting under heavy loads

• Cost Efficiency – No need to stock multiple types of row spacers for different brands

• Future-Proofing – Allows flexibility to expand your system without worrying about compatibility

Why It’s a Great Investment

Universal row spacers are not just about convenience—they’re about long-term value. By choosing a spacer that works across all brands, you:

• Save money on parts and installation

• Improve warehouse safety and compliance

• Ensure compatibility with future racking purchases

• Increase the lifespan of your racking system by reducing stress and misalignment

Final Thoughts

At Herdzco Industrial, we know warehouses often grow and evolve with a mix of equipment from different sources. That’s why we stand behind universal row spacers as one of the smartest and most practical investments you can make for your storage system.

Whether you’re setting up a brand-new warehouse or expanding an existing one, universal row spacers give you the peace of mind that your uprights will stay secure, aligned, and stable—no matter the brand.
