Selective pallet rack, also named beam rack or heavy-duty rack, is very common in various kinds of warehouse racks. The main components are an upright frame and beams; the structure is concise and effective. This is the most diversified warehouse rack and works seamlessly with forklifts for loading and unloading pallets. It is widely used by manufacturers, E-commerce warehouses, third-party logistics (3PL), and distribution centers. It is suitable for many kinds of small bulk items as well as small varieties of items.
The surface is treated with advanced electrostatic spraying, offering high resistance to corrosion and rust while ensuring a long operational service life.
Utilizing a high-specification C-shaped steel double-beam welded structure, it boasts superior bending strength compared to ordinary single beams.
Made of cold-formed steel plate with 21 folds for significantly stronger load-bearing capacity. The surface features evenly distributed diamond-shaped or teardrop-shaped adjustable holes.
Offers flexible adjustment options: Diamond-shaped holes come with 75mm fixing pitch, while Teardrop-shaped holes feature 50mm fixing pitch to customize layer heights on demand.
After hooks are inserted into column holes, safety bolts are installed to lock them securely. This prevents crossbeams from accidentally dislodging due to forklift impact or vibration.
High-strength steel anti-collision upright protectors are installed at column bases and aisle intersections, anchored into the floor to absorb collisions and prevent structural deformation.
Horizontal supports and diagonal braces are systematically installed every 2–3 layers, creating a rigid triangular stability structure that prevents tipping and frame sway.

Comparison of warehouse storage capacity improvement before and after selective racking installation:
Heavy-Duty Steel Racks have a broad range of industrial applications, including manufacturing facilities, e-commerce fulfillment centers, 3PL distribution hubs, cold storage logistics, food & beverage facilities, hardware/building material suppliers, automotive parts depots, and pharmaceutical warehouses.
SDFD has been deeply involved in warehouse racking manufacturing for 17 years. We have delivered customized warehousing solutions to over 12,000+ clients globally, solving spatial challenges and maximizing operational throughput.
Our racking systems are exported to Europe, South America, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East, building a strong global reputation for quality.
We focus on core client needs, helping logistics partners elevate their storage strategy. Through continuous technical innovation, we remain dedicated to space optimization technology—making every square meter count.
Yes, we are a direct factory manufacturer. Operating since 2009, our facility focuses on industrial warehouse racks and mezzanines. With 15 modern production lines and annual sales exceeding 200 million RMB, clients are always welcome to visit our manufacturing base.
For standard ambient warehouses, we utilize high-quality Q235B structural carbon steel. For cold storage environments (-18°C or lower), we implement cold-resistant Q345D steel or customized alloy grades based on structural requirements.
We do not enforce a strict MOQ on most racking models. However, due to the heavy weight and freight volume of steel racking, ordering in reasonable quantities is recommended to minimize unit shipping overhead and prevent handling damage.
Because warehouse racking is tailored to specific building layouts, we manufacture to order. Thanks to 15 automated production lines, our typical lead time is fast—usually between 15 to 18 days depending on total tonnage.
The pallet capacity depends on crossbeam length and pallet sizes. For structural safety and operational clearance during forklift handling, standard designs accommodate 2 pallets per beam level.
A common size configuration is L2500 × D800 × H4500mm. Since global pallet standards vary (e.g., Euro 1200×800mm, US 1200×1000mm, Asian 1100×1100mm), system dimensions are routinely customized to match client requirements.
