SR– Layout shown with approx storage of 976 pallets stored 4 high in a typical 1000 sq.mt warehouse

Selective Pallet Racking uses the FIFO (First in First out) principle and is the simplest form of Pallet Racking. Its the only type of racking that can offer 100% access to any pallet in your system at any point in time. SR racking is generally designed as Single or back-to-back rows of racks with an aisle wide enough for a fork lift truck. Since SR takes up the maximum amount of space in a warehouse when installed it is used to benchmark the capacity of the warehouse before comparing it with any other system to understand increase in capacities. The design below illustrates that using selective racking we can accommodate 976 pallets in typical 1000 square meter warehouse. From hereon we will demonstrate how using various systems the capacity of this model warehouse can be tuned.
