What is Selective Pallet Racking?

Selective racking (also known as selective pallet racking) is the most widely used warehouse racking system. It allows direct access to every pallet without moving other loads, making it ideal for operations with high SKU variety or frequent picking.

At Pac Rac Systems, our selective racking solutions are modular, scalable, and fully compliant with Canadian standards. Whether you need a single row or a full warehouse layout, we deliver design, installation, inspection, and maintenance to maximize space safely and cost-effectively.

Applications & Industries

Selective racking is the most common system in warehouses and third-party logistics facilities. It offers direct access to every pallet, which improves pick rates and simplifies inventory control for high-SKU operations. Pac Rac designs selective systems that maximize vertical space and comply with Canadian safety standards, ensuring long-term reliability.

In manufacturing environments, selective racking supports raw material storage, work-in-progress staging, and finished goods distribution. Its modular and reconfigurable design allows manufacturers to adapt racking as production lines or product mixes change. Pac Rac engineers systems that integrate seamlessly with forklifts, conveyors, and other handling equipment.

Retail distribution centers often manage thousands of SKUs and require fast order fulfillment. Selective racking provides direct pallet access, ideal for high-turnover and seasonal goods. Pac Rac ensures each layout is optimized for FIFO stock rotation, safe traffic flow, and scalability as retail demands grow.

E-commerce facilities rely on high-density, fast-moving storage to keep pace with customer demand. Selective racking offers maximum accessibility, helping pickers and packers handle frequent, small-quantity orders. Pac Rac’s engineered designs meet NBC 2020 compliance and support integration with mezzanines, conveyors, and automation for future growth.

Cold storage and food distribution facilities depend on racking that can withstand temperature fluctuations and humidity while maintaining safety. Selective racking allows FIFO inventory control, critical for perishable goods, and is available in finishes and coatings suitable for refrigerated or freezer environments. Pac Rac designs and installs systems that meet CSA and CWB standards for durability under demanding conditions.

Accessories & Related Products

Enhance selective racking with:

wire mesh deck types

Wire mesh and steel decking provide added safety and load support for selective pallet racking. They prevent pallet fall-through, improve weight distribution, and meet Candards by allowing sprinkler water flow. Pac Rac supplies and installs decks engineered for CSA compliance and rated for heavy-duty applications across warehouses and cold storage facilities.adian fire and safety stan

racking row spacer

Row and column spacers keep pallet racking aligned, stable, and structurally sound. They maintain consistent spacing between back-to-back rows and anchor uprights to meet NBC 2020 and CWB requirements. Pac Rac uses high-strength steel spacers to improve seismic performance and extend rack longevity, ensuring your installation remains safe and compliant.

Pallet Rack M Dividers

Dividers and pallet supports help organize mixed inventory and provide extra reinforcement under pallets that don’t fully span beam lengths. Ideal for partial loads, irregular pallets, or hand-stacked items, they enhance safety and prevent product damage. Pac Rac offers multiple divider styles – flue, hanging, and vertical “M” dividers customized to your racking type and load requirements.

Post Protectors

Protect your people and product with Pac Rac’s full range of warehouse safety accessories. Column guards and end-of-aisle protectors shield uprights from forklift impact. All components are engineered for Canadian warehouse environments and designed to integrate seamlessly with selective pallet racking, drive-in, and push-back systems.

 

Rack Netting protection

Rack netting protects workers and inventory by preventing items from falling through or off racks into aisles. It’s especially effective for high-traffic or elevated storage areas, improving warehouse safety and compliance. Pac Rac installs high-tensile, flame-retardant netting that meets CSA and OSHA safety requirements and can be customized for front, back, or full-bay coverage.

Racking Safety

Pac Rac offers a complete range of warehouse safety accessories to protect equipment, racking, and personnel:

  • Column guards to absorb forklift impact

  • End-of-aisle protectors for high-traffic zones

  • Guard rails to define safe pedestrian areas

  • Rack post protectors for impact resistance

Each product is engineered for selective pallet racking compatibility and tested to meet Canadian warehouse safety standards. Adding these safeguards reduces downtime, repair costs, and workplace risk.
