Pallet Racking Systems & Warehouse Pallet Racks

Pallet racking systems store palletized inventory efficiently while supporting fast, reliable forklift access. CustomMHS carries Husky pre-configured racking for standard warehouse depths, and MECO heavy-duty structural racking for the highest per-bay capacity in demanding industrial applications.

Pallet rack capacity isn't just a number a manufacturer picks. ANSI MH16.1 governs industrial steel storage racks, the Rack Manufacturers Institute's standard for structural design, testing, and load capacity. It requires a load capacity plaque on every installed rack showing the maximum permissible load, and it's now referenced by the International Building Code, which makes it relevant to permitting and insurance in most jurisdictions, not just an engineering formality. Whether you're speccing standard-duty Husky racking or MECO's structural line, the per-bay ratings on this page reflect that same engineering standard.

Depth matters more than it might seem. Standard warehouse pallets (the common 48" x 40" GMA pallet) generally call for rack depths in the 36" to 48" range so the pallet is fully supported without excessive beam overhang. That's why Husky's pre-configured racking is offered specifically at 36", 42", and 48" depths, matching the depths most warehouses actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all frame.

Product Lines:

Husky pre-configured pallet racking in 36", 42", or 48" depths, plus components and accessories, and MECO heavy-duty structural racking, including 3" and 4" uprights rated up to 54,200 lb per bay, structural load beams, cross support bars, and upright protectors.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Depth, choose Husky pre-configured racking in 36", 42", or 48" depths based on standard pallet dimensions.
♦ Capacity: choose MECO structural racking when per-bay capacity needs to exceed standard duty pallet racking, up to 54,200 lb.
♦ Load support: add MECO Drop-in Cross Support Bars for mid-level support, or Structural Upright Protectors to guard against forklift impact.

Where Commonly Used:

Pallet racking is used in warehouses and distribution centers for standard palletized storage, in heavy industrial and manufacturing facilities for the heaviest per-bay loads, along high-traffic forklift aisles where upright protectors guard against impact, and in facility expansions to build onto existing rack systems.
