Common customer questions
Questions about Open Shelving
These answers provide a starting point. Final equipment, capacity, layout and installation requirements must be confirmed for the specific facility and application.
What is the difference between shelving and pallet rack?
Shelving is normally designed for hand-loaded cartons, parts, records and supplies. Pallet rack is designed for palletized loads handled by lift equipment. Each has different capacities, dimensions and safety considerations.
When should I use open shelving, closed shelving or bins?
Open shelving provides visibility and access from multiple sides. Closed shelving helps separate and protect contents. Dividers, drawers and bins improve organization for smaller parts. Product size, security, dust control and picking method determine the best configuration.
Can shelving be customized for my space?
Many systems can be configured with different heights, widths, depths, shelf spacing, dividers, drawers, doors and work surfaces. Modular systems can make future reconfiguration easier as inventory and processes change.
