Selective pallet rack is single-deep steel: an aisle on each side, direct access to every pallet on the row. It's the system most warehouses run because it trades storage density for something more valuable once SKU counts climb - a driver never has to move one pallet to get at another. It earns its keep when inventory is mixed, picking happens straight off the rack face, or you simply don't hold enough of any one item to justify a deeper system. The tradeoff is real: selective racking spends floor space on aisles that pushback or drive-in would give back to storage. We size industrial pallet racks to your heaviest pallet, your lift truck's reach, and the clear height you're already leasing, then hand back a CAD layout with position counts and an itemized quote - so you know what you're buying before steel ships. (206) 984-1601 ## Why Seattle Warehouses Work With Us Older infill buildings leave limited room for additional receiving lanes; dock access and column spacing must be measured before storage depth is chosen. Around SODO, Georgetown and the Duwamish corridor, the pallet rack decision starts with how the building is used today: where loads arrive, which orders need immediate access and where staff or equipment share a route. Mixed inventory around SODO, Georgetown and the Duwamish corridor needs direct pallet access without letting reserve stock overtake the working aisles. port logistics, food distribution and urban fulfillment all use space differently. Access around Port of Seattle terminals, East Marginal Way S and I-5 matters to the delivery or transfer plan, but the design still comes back to pallet dimensions, heaviest loads, beam elevations and the lift truck's turning clearance. During the free consultation we compare usable positions with operating space, and explain what changes if the inventory mix grows or a handling truck is replaced. Seattle Pallet Racks is part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. Your Seattle team has a point of contact for layout revisions, the written scope and scheduling questions. We work through practical details before material arrives, including where each delivery can be staged without blocking your dock. After handover, keep the approved drawing and contact us before changing loads, levels or the layout. ## How Pallet Rack Works in Seattle 1 ### Frames and beams Roll-formed or structural upright frames carry pairs of load beams across the aisle. Beam length, frame depth, and steel gauge follow your heaviest pallet, not a catalog default. 2 ### One position, one pallet Each pallet sits on a beam level facing the aisle. Nothing gets moved to reach anything else, which is the entire point of paying for two aisles instead of one. 3 ### Beam elevations to the ceiling Levels rise from the floor to the lowest overhead obstruction, such as lighting, so so the design uses height you're already renting instead of leaving it empty. 4 ### Decking, guarding, protection Wire decking, pallet supports, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guarding get specified in the same layout instead of tacked on later as an afterthought.

We use building drawings and verified measurements to establish usable height, obstructions, column positions and access routes. For a site around Port of Seattle terminals, receiving windows and staging areas are included in that conversation so the installation plan is grounded in how your operation runs. Frames, beam pairs, pallet supports, decking where needed, row spacers and column protection are listed separately. Usable height is measured below obstructions, and a position count is compared with the current layout rather than inferred from square footage. You receive a layout, a counted storage or picking plan and an itemized scope that separates equipment, delivery and installation. New material is specified for any additional rack. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage follow the agreed layout, and the rack is anchored to the floor. Our team handles the permit side for you. The finished rows are checked for alignment, confirmation that the rack is anchored to the floor and posted capacities before inventory is assigned to them. Work can be sequenced by agreed zones when the site allows it. Your Seattle operations lead confirms which routes must stay open and when inventory may enter completed areas. The handover records the final configuration, operating limits and remaining actions, giving your team a practical reference for future changes rather than only a delivery receipt. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Pallet Rack System Details Rows of industrial pallet racks loaded with pallets in a Seattle warehouse Selective pallet rack row fitted with wire decking on every level Image: Warehouse racking aisle stacked with multiple beam levels (https://seattlepalletracks.com/assets/pallet-rack-hero-Bx52nYZg.jpg) Warehouse racking aisle stacked with multiple beam levels ## Get a Pallet Rack Quote Send the basics and we will come back with a layout and pricing.
