What is Pallet Racking?

• Pallet Racking is an effective storage solution
  that incorporates the use of pallets in material
  storage. The material is loaded on the pallets
  that are kept on racks.
• The pallet racks consist of a combination of
  beams and uprights. The uprights support the
  structure from the sides, whereas the beams
  connect the uprights and act as a platform for
  the pallets.
