This pallet racking system make the storage of these materials organized and help them to be stored safely. Although, there is not any one particular type of the racking, there are a number of industrial racking Melbourne types and each one of them has some specific attribute that are supportive for storing a particular type of material. Also, these types vary in the structure and design from others but the basic purpose of all these types are same. This type of structure can not be used alone because the racking is very heighted and it is not possible to place loads on these pallets without the help of any kind of machine.

One of the type of pallet racking is the selective pallet racking. There are further two categories in it, one of them is known as roll formed and second is called structural. Both of these are somewhat different in their structure. The first type that is the roll formed type is the one which is excessively used in warehouses because of their adjustable property. The pallets in these are horizontally fixed in such a way that these can be moved and can be adjusted which allows warehouses to store the product of different sizes without having the need to change the entire pallet racking structure. The second type that is structural pallet racking system is similar in all its functionality to the first type. This is also adjustable and can be reconfigured. Not only this the pallets can also be detached and removed which increases the height and allow various products to be accommodated. The only difference between these two types is that the latter type could bear a lot more weight than the former.
