The selective pallet racking system is the one of most common traditional racking systems seen in a warehouse. When comes to the question of how to choose a ce heavy duty pallet rack for your need, two essential elements need to be taken into consideration.They are

1. Detail information of the product being stored.
1) Weight and dimension of the product-the priority factor when designing a pallet rack. It is better not to put the overweight products on the rack as it is designed according to a safety factor, or you need to change a thicker rack companents to meet your requirements.
