A selective pallet rack setup is one of the most common that you’ll find in warehouses across the country. It’s a highly versatile system, and while that’s why many warehouses use it, it may not be the right solution for everyone. Take a look at some of the pros and cons of this warehouse storage solution:

Pros

• Great for warehouses that have many SKUs. Because of the versatility of the system, you’ll be able to vary your storage sizes and create areas for each SKU. Also great for giving access to many different products at once, since you’ll have access to every pallet in your warehouse.
• Low cost. Another reason for its popularity, this is the cheapest pallet rack system for your warehouse–in most cases. You won’t need to worry about specialized equipment either since a standard forklift will be perfect for these shelves.

Cons

• If you carry a lot of inventory this system can require a great deal of space. That could mean higher warehouse costs, in the long run, making it a less cost-effective solution. Not suitable for a warehouse with medium and high volumes.
