Pallet Rack Systems in Greater Louisville
Selective pallet rack is single-deep steel: an aisle on each side, direct access to every pallet on the row. 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.
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.
How Pallet Rack Works
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.
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.
Beam elevations to the ceiling
Levels extend from the floor to the lowest overhead obstruction so the design uses height you're already renting instead of leaving it empty.
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.
Where It Fits Best
What We Need to Design It
- What's the clear height to the lowest overhead obstruction?
- 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 phone conversation: 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.
The 48-hour quick ship program covers standard pallet rack components, and delivery is staged around your dock. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage follow the drawing, with the system anchored to the floor and capacity-tagged.
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 your pallet profile changes or you're adding a row next spring.

Pallet Rack Questions We Hear Most
Pallet Rack by Service Area
Delivery and installation across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana.
Other Rack Systems We Supply
Pushback Rack
Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach.
Pallet Flow Rack
Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out.
Drive-In Rack
No aisles. The forklift enters the structure, and the floor holds more pallets per square foot than any other system.
Cantilever Rack
Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold.
Carton Flow Rack
Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases.
