Pallet Racking & Shelving in Delaware

Selective pallet racking is the standard warehouse storage system: upright frames connected by horizontal beams, giving forklifts direct access to every pallet position. It is the lowest-cost rack per position, works with any standard forklift, and suits operations with many SKUs. Roughly 80% of the pallet rack in Delaware warehouses is selective.

New selective pallet racking typically runs $50–$200 per pallet position installed; inspected used rack cuts that by 40–60%. High-density systems like pushback and pallet flow cost more per position but store far more in the same footprint. Delaware Pallet Racking quotes fixed pricing after a free site walk — with no Delaware sales tax on top.

Used rack saves 40–60% and is the right call for standard beam sizes and moderate heights — if every component is inspected to ANSI/RMI standards first. Buy new for tall systems, seismic or high-piled permit projects, and specialty configurations where documentation matters. Delaware Pallet Racking stocks both and will spec an honest mix.

Rack height is limited by your clear height, sprinkler clearance (18 inches minimum below heads), and forklift lift height — not by the rack itself. Delaware distribution buildings commonly run 24-to-34-foot clear, supporting uprights of 20 to 30 feet. Anything over 8 feet needs a permit, which Delaware Pallet Racking handles as part of every install.
