Heavy duty pallet racking (also known as beam pallet racking or selective pallet racking) is the most widely deployed storage system in industrial warehouses worldwide. Manufactured by Nanjing Boracs Logistics Equipment since 2004, this warehouse racking system uses cold-rolled Q235B steel uprights and beams with a boltless teardrop connector design — no welding or bolting required during on-site assembly. Each beam level supports 500 to 5,000kg, with heights adjustable in 50mm, 75mm, or 76.2mm pitch increments to accommodate different pallet sizes and forklift reach requirements. The system provides 100% selectivity, meaning every pallet position is directly accessible without moving other loads.
Key Features
- Load capacity: 500–5,000kg per beam level, verified by structural calculation per FEM 10.2.02
- Beam pitch adjustment: 50mm / 75mm / 76.2mm increments for flexible pallet height accommodation
- Upright profiles: 32-roll cold-formed sections for dimensional consistency and load uniformity
- Surface finish: Swiss GEMA powder coating at 60–80μm thickness, or hot-dip galvanizing for cold storage
- Safety: anti-drop pins on every beam end, column protectors and aisle guards available
- 100% pallet selectivity — direct forklift access to every position
- Compatible with EURO, CHEP, standard US, and custom pallet dimensions

Applications
This industrial pallet racking system is engineered for the following sectors:
- Manufacturing & Production Warehouses — Raw material and finished goods storage with high turnover rates; typical configurations run 6–10 levels high with 2,000–3,000kg per level.
- Logistics & Distribution Centers — Selective pallet racking forms the backbone of 3PL operations, supporting fast pick cycles and cross-docking workflows.
- Cold Storage & Freezer Warehouses — Hot-dip galvanized finish prevents corrosion at sub-zero temperatures; deployed in facilities from −25°C to +4°C.
- Food & Beverage, FMCG Distribution — Compatible with FIFO and FEFO inventory management; widely used by clients including IKEA, Goodyear, and Qatar Airways supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum load capacity per level?
Our heavy duty pallet racking supports 500 to 5,000kg per beam level, depending on upright profile thickness, beam section size, and bay width. The exact capacity is verified through FEM 10.2.02 structural calculation and included in the quotation package.
What is the typical lead time for an order?
Standard configurations ship within 20–30 days after drawing approval. Custom projects with special dimensions or finishes may require 30–40 days. We maintain stock of common upright profiles and beam sections to accelerate delivery.
Do you provide layout design and structural calculations?
Yes. Every project includes free CAD layout drawings and FEM-compliant structural calculation reports. Our engineering team reviews your warehouse dimensions, forklift specifications, and load requirements before producing the final design.
Can the racking be used in cold storage environments?
Yes. For cold storage applications (−25°C to +4°C), we specify hot-dip galvanized finish instead of powder coating to prevent corrosion. Steel grade is upgraded to Q355B for improved low-temperature impact resistance per EN 15512.
What safety accessories are available?
Standard safety components include anti-drop pins on every beam, column protectors at aisle ends, row spacers, and wire mesh decking. Optional accessories include rear-end guards, pallet supports, and aisle guidance systems for narrow-aisle forklifts.
