Are you a small business owner in need of a storage solution fast? Small business pallet racking is a great way to stay organized and get products off the ground while making the most of your available space. 

When you’re growing your small business, moving facilities to accommodate surplus might not fit the budget. We help business owners utilize the vertical space in their current storage areas, saving them thousands of dollars, while building in wiggle room for future growth.

Installing standard selective pallet racking or stick rack in your facility is a great way to build storage up rather than out. Just about every pallet rack manufacturer, from Ridg-U-Rak to Steel King, offers selective racking, and we’re ready to get you the best options for your storage.

Whether you’re storing pallets, boxes, loose product, or a blend of all three, selective racking is great because it’s incredibly versatile and sturdy. The customization options are near-limitless. 

Here are some of the ways we can customize selective racks for applications of any kind:

• Shelf levels: Pallet rack beams and frames can be positioned close or far, depending on the height and width of your product. Palletized products? We’ll measure and design the perfect fit to make the most of your space.
• Storage density: Narrow aisles and good design let you store more products in less space. Our team is great at making the most of available space with efficient, high-density solutions. 
• Decking: Turn selective racks into heavy-duty shelves with wire decking, plywood, or solid steel decks. 
• Gravity flow: Adding carton flow to some shelf levels can maximize your space and make picking and packing more efficient. 
• Safety options: Worried about falling products or other warehouse hazards? We offer many safety products from rack backing to column guards to protect you, your employees, and your shiny new racking.

Steel shelving offers much of the same storage capacity and customization options as selective racking, but for lighter, hand-stacked products. It’s a great choice for small businesses that want to expand their vertical storage at a lower cost.

Together with our storage and design partners at AK Material Handling Systems, we offer all sorts of shelving solutions to help your storage scale alongside your business. For small businesses, we often recommend:

• Open shelving: Classic open shelves offer high visibility and airflow. They’re adjustable and accessible from both sides, which makes them ideal for smaller spaces.
• Closed shelving: Sanitary and sturdy, closed shelves are adjustable and customizable, and great for your more secure storage needs.
• Rivet shelving: Welded rivet snap shelves lock into place at varying heights. These units can easily be assembled, disassembled, and moved as your business’s storage needs shift.

High-density systems like push-back racks, pallet flow, and drive-in racking save space and help optimize small businesses’ warehousing workflows. These systems let you store pallets more efficiently in dense, deep lanes. 

These high-density options are great for space optimization, but all three require a forklift to place and retrieve products. If you don’t own a forklift or your product isn’t palletized, we recommend choosing one of the selective rack or shelving options listed above.

Is your current storage facility bursting at the seams? There reaches a point where no amount of high-density, vertical, or efficient storage can free up enough space for the rate of growth your business is experiencing. 

In this case, we recommend moving into a larger warehouse to ensure safe conditions for you and your employees. We provide methodical warehouse relocation to help the entire process move quickly with as little downtime for your business as possible.
