Pallet racking systems
What is selective pallet racking?
Selective pallet racking is the most versatile pallet storage solution, providing direct and immediate access to every load unit. This makes it particularly suitable for warehouses managing a large number of SKUs, different inventory turnover rates and demanding stock-control requirements. Its modular and reconfigurable structure supports efficient vertical storage while maintaining visibility, accessibility and full control of palletised goods. The performance of Modulblok pallet racking systems is built on two key engineering principles. The first is the design of the uprights and beams, whose structural profiles are optimised to deliver maximum strength with minimum weight. The second is Modulblok’s proprietary beam-to-upright connection system, engineered to ensure the correct transfer of loads throughout the structure. The system has been tested under demanding operating conditions, including seismic loading. In the event of accidental impacts, its engineered deformation behaviour helps contain localised damage and reduce the risk of progressive structural failure across the racking installation.

Components & accessories
An overview of the components and accessories that complement the pallet racking system, enhancing safety, functionality and adaptability across a wide range of operational requirements.
The beam-to-upright connection
A key strength of the system, engineered to provide the optimum balance of strength and stiffness while ensuring efficient load transfer and distribution from the beams to the uprights.
Braced frame
A braced frame engineered to provide structural stability, efficient load distribution and resistance to operational and structural stresses.
Column protectors
Structural protection devices for pallet racking systems, designed to absorb impacts and help preserve the integrity, stability and safety of the installation.
Front protection barriers
Front protection barriers for pallet racking systems, designed to absorb forklift impacts and safeguard access areas from accidental damage.
Pallet backstop
A containment device designed to prevent load units from being displaced beyond the storage position, improving safety at storage levels and reducing the risk of accidental load fall.
Row spacer
A structural element installed between racking rows to maintain the required spacing, improve overall stability and help limit beam and frame deflections under load.
