Based in North Carolina, Wheeler Material Handling provides high-quality material handling solutions to clients in six states. Offering products and parts from top brands like Cushman and Yale, Wheeler Material Handling provides customers with such things as forklifts, aerial lifts, and warehouse racking systems.

There are several types of warehouse racking systems, including selective pallet racking systems that allow access to each pallet and push-back racking systems that push one pallet back with another. Deciding between these different systems requires you to consider your storage density and the size of your product. Also consider the size of your warehouse and how large of a racking system fits inside the space.

As you do this, make sure you account for aisle size for forklifts or pallet jacks, along with the average size of your product or pallets. If you have limited space, push-back racking systems or other similar options are ideal, since they maximize limited space. However, you won’t have easy access to buried pallets, so make sure this lack of access works for your daily operations.

Another consideration is your budget. Certain racking systems are more affordable than others. While you may prefer the access of one system, it might be beyond your budget. Instead, find the best option available that is affordable for you.
