It's the system most warehouses run because it trades storage density for something more valuable once SKU counts climb - a driver never has to move one pallet to get at another. It earns its keep when inventory is mixed, picking happens straight off the rack face, or you simply don't hold enough of any one item to justify a deeper system. The tradeoff is real: selective racking spends floor space on aisles that pushback or drive-in would give back to storage. For Columbus operations along I-70 and I-270, we size industrial pallet racks to your heaviest pallet, your lift truck's reach, and the clear height you're already leasing, then hand back a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote - so you know what you're buying before steel ships. 614-379-4436 ## How Pallet Rack Works 1 ### Frames and beams Roll-formed or structural upright frames carry pairs of load beams across the aisle. Beam length, frame depth, and steel gauge follow your heaviest pallet, not a catalog default. 2 ### One position, one pallet Each pallet sits on a beam level facing the aisle. Nothing gets moved to reach anything else, which is the entire point of paying for two aisles instead of one. 3 ### Beam elevations to the ceiling Levels stack from the floor up to the first obstruction - overhead obstructions - so the design uses height you're already renting instead of leaving it empty. 4 ### Decking, guarding, protection Wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding get specified in the same layout instead of tacked on later as an afterthought.

We size frames, beams, and beam elevations to the pallet weights and forklift reach you actually run in Rickenbacker, West Broad, or Groveport Road, not to a catalog default that assumes every pallet looks the same. Third-party logistics operators and retail distribution centers around Columbus tend to carry high SKU counts with only a few pallets behind each one, which is exactly the inventory profile selective rack is built for: an aisle on both sides of every row so a driver never shuffles one load to reach another. Because the layout comes back as a CAD drawing with position counts and an itemized price, you can weigh aisle width against storage before anything ships, and the same drawing gives your team wire decking, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding specified up front instead of added as an afterthought once the forklifts are already running the floor. ## Where It Fits Best High SKU counts with few pallets behind each one Order picking straight off the rack face Mixed pallet sizes and irregular loads Warehouses adding a second or third beam level for more cube Operations that can't tolerate a position being buried behind another ## What We Need to Design It - What's the clear ceiling height under overhead obstructions? - What are your pallet dimensions and your heaviest pallet weight? - What forklift are you running, and what's its maximum lift height? - How many positions do you need today, and at your peak? - How much floor can you give up to aisles versus storage? ## What a Project Includes The design starts with a conversation, not a mandatory visit: pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and free lift, clear height, column spacing, aisle width, and turn rate. That's what sets beam capacity and how many levels the building will actually carry. From there our design team draws pallet positions, beam elevations, and aisle centerlines in CAD, then prices every line so you see cost per pallet position instead of a lump sum. That number is what lets you compare selective against pushback or drive-in honestly - selective usually costs less per position to build but more per position in floor space. Component availability is confirmed in the quote, and delivery gets staged around your dock rather than one truck dropped all at once. Installation partners anchor and plumb every frame, hang decking, and tag capacities on the finished rows. What you're left with is racking that matches how the building runs, load-rating documentation your team can post, and one number to call when you're adding a row or changing the layout. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
