Custom Equipment Company is a certified distributor for material handling equipment and supplies to national manufacturers.  It is with great pride that we show our appreciation to our manufacturing partners during National Manufacturing Month, a special time of observance for their vital contributions not only to the economy, but also to our culture and society.

We Salute Manufacturing

 

We commemorate Manufacturing Month and the significance of American manufacturing innovation and inventiveness to our standard of life in October alongside the U.S. government and industry partners. Contributing $2.9 trillion to the U.S. economy, employing roughly 12.9 million Americans, and making up 11% of the country’s GDP, U.S. manufacturing is a long-lasting and constantly evolving industry.

Every year on the first Friday in October, Manufacturing Day encourages thousands of businesses and educational institutions across the country to open their doors to students, parents, teachers, and community leaders in order to highlight the realities of modern manufacturing and the careers available within. A new generation’s perception of the manufacturing sector is being enhanced by plant tours, practical exercises, career talks, classroom visits, and community events. In order to help their communities and future generations prosper, National Manufacturing Day encourages manufacturers to unite with the public at large and tackle their shared concerns.

Industrial Pallet Racking

Industrial pallet racking is a storage system designed to hold materials and products on pallets (also called “skids”) in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. It’s essentially a large shelving system built from steel frames and beams, engineered to store goods vertically and make the best use of warehouse space.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Structure:
    • Upright frames (vertical columns) provide support.
    • Beams connect the frames to form horizontal levels where pallets rest.
    • Optional accessories like safety bars, decking, or guards can be added.Industrial Pallet Racking
  • Purpose:
    • Maximizes floor space by stacking pallets vertically.
    • Keeps inventory organized, accessible, and safe.
    • Improves efficiency for forklifts and material handling.
  • Types of pallet racking (depending on warehouse needs):
    • Selective racking – most common, easy access to every pallet.
    • Drive-in / drive-through racking – allows forklifts to enter lanes, good for high-density storage.
    • Push-back racking – pallets are stored on carts that move along rails.
    • Pallet flow (gravity flow) – uses inclined roller tracks so pallets move forward automatically.
    • Cantilever racking – for long/bulky items (pipes, lumber).

In short, industrial pallet racking is the backbone of warehouse storage logistics, designed to store large volumes of goods efficiently, safely, and accessibly.

Types of Pallet Racking

Industrial Pallet Racking

🔹 1. Selective Pallet Racking (Most Common)
Best for:
• General-purpose storage (consumer goods, retail inventory, spare parts).
• Warehouses that need easy access to every pallet.
• High SKU (many product types) / low quantity per SKU.

🔹 2. Drive-In / Drive-Through Racking
Best for:
• Bulk storage of homogeneous products (e.g., building materials, cement bags, canned goods, beverages).
• Items stored in large batches with low SKU variety.
• Environments where last-in, first-out (LIFO) is acceptable (drive-in).

🔹 3. Push-Back Racking
Best for:
• Medium-to-high density storage with fewer SKUs.
• Items like beverages, packaged foods, consumer goods.
• Warehouses needing LIFO access but more selectivity than drive-in.

🔹 4. Pallet Flow (Gravity Flow Racking)
Best for:
•
Perishable goods (food, beverages, pharmaceuticals).
• Operations needing FIFO (first-in, first-out) rotation.
• High-volume distribution centers.Industrial Pallet Racking

🔹5. Cantilever Racking
Best for:
•
Long, bulky, or irregular items: lumber, pipes, steel bars, furniture, carpet rolls.
• Materials that don’t fit standard pallets.

🔹 6. Double-Deep Racking
Best for:
•
Medium-density storage of similar SKUs.
• Retail goods, bulk packaged foods, and manufacturing materials.

Industrial Pallet Racking

Summary:

• Perishables / FIFO → Pallet Flow
• Bulk identical goods → Drive-In / Drive-Through
• High SKU variety
→ Selective
• Medium density, LIFO → Push-Back
• Long/bulky items → Cantilever
