Knowing what warehouse rack storage is and the different types available will help you select the best storage solution for your specific workspace needs. At Commander Warehouse, we understand that choosing the right racking system can make a huge difference to your bottom line. That is why we carry a wide range of racking systems to choose from.
Warehouse rack storage systems are specifically designed for storing pallets and bulky items. Some of the different types of warehouse racking systems you can choose from include:
As one of the most popular and versatile pallet racking systems, selective pallet racks work to provide enhanced space efficiencies, as well as immediate access to stored items with the use of a forklift.
Double-deep pallet racks are constructed by putting one row of selective pallet racking in front of another. This type of warehouse rack storage offers a cost-effective solution for creating high-density storage space and for increasing storage capacity.
Push-back pallet racks feature a cart system that allows pallets to slide forward when the pallet in front has been removed. This means that pallets can be fed and retrieved from one aisle, which can help reduce picking times.
Since drive-in and drive-thru pallet racks require fewer aisles, they can help significantly increase the amount of storage space available when compared to using selective pallet racking. With this type of warehouse racking storage system, forklifts can drive directly into the racks, which can be at least six pallets deep. Drive-in pallet racking systems use a common entrance and exit, while drive-thru pallet racking systems have separate entrances and exits.
Unlike other types of racking systems that are best for storing palleted products, cantilever racking systems are ideal for storing longer, irregular shaped items, such as pipes, lumber, tubing, and similar items.
Similar to cantilever racking systems, bar stock racking is designed to handle longer items; however, this type of racking is best suited for light and medium duty applications, while cantilever racking can withstand heavier items.
Reel racks are specifically designed for storing spools of wire, metal strands, rope, and other similar materials in a wide range of different sizes.

When warehouse managers across Western Canada start asking about high-density storage, the conversation usually lands on two systems: push back racking vs drive-in racking. Both are LIFO configurations that eliminate excess aisles and pack more product into your footprint. But they perform very differently in practice, and choosing the wrong one creates operational drag that...
Read MoreAt Commander Warehouse, we’ve spent over 50 years watching operations make the same costly mistake: choosing pallet racking based on upright capacity alone while treating load beam capacity as an afterthought. Understanding load beam capacity is the foundation of a safe, code-compliant storage system. Get it wrong and you’re looking at damaged product, regulatory exposure, or worse. What Load Beam Capacity Actually Means...
