High-quality pallet uprights are essential to the strength and integrity of your warehouse storage structures and material handling capabilities. These vertical towers connect to beams to create racking sections for storing products and materials on pallets, which are easily accessible to forklifts. Their durable construction keeps your inventory stored securely while saving the maximum amount of space.
With many different sizes and types available, it's crucial to choose the racking uprights that will effectively support your loads and properly interlock with any shelving uprights you may already have in place. At T.P. Supply Company, we have a large selection of popular pallet uprights so you can find the right match for your specific requirements.
Types of Pallet Racking Uprights for Sale
Pallet uprights are either single-sided or double-sided. Single pallet uprights are best suited to storing materials like pipes, boards, hoses and tubes that you pick and place from only one side, while double-sided pallet uprights are ideal for material that you want to pick up from either side of the rack. Double-sided pallet uprights provide enhanced stability when rows of racks are placed back-to-back.
Pallet rack uprights also have different types of connections. The most popular type is the teardrop pallet rack, which features a teardrop-shaped hole that securely locks horizontal beams in place for quick, easy and reliable assembly. Teardrop pallet uprights are also compatible across many different manufacturers, providing enhanced versatility.
Another popular connection is the slotted style. These uprights have parallel rectangular openings that beams slide into. Slotted uprights provide an extremely strong and durable connection, making them ideal for bulkier and heavier loads. At the same time, slotted pallet uprights are not as widely compatible as teardrop racking uprights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different connection types for upright racks?
Upright racks use several connection types and attachments to ensure stability and functionality. These include:
- Beams: Primary horizontal supports connect to vertical uprights, providing the foundation for pallet storage.
- Arms: Allow for the storage of long or irregularly shaped items.
- Spacers: Help maintain consistent distances between racks, ensuring even spacing and stability.
- Safety clips: Secure beams to uprights, preventing accidental dislodgement.
- Shelf and pallet supports: Enhance the versatility of upright racks, allowing for various storage configurations based on specific inventory needs.
How high can warehouse pallet racking go?
The maximum height of a warehouse pallet racking varies depending on several important factors. These factors include the height of the building, the type of racking system used and the reach of the forklifts. Standard forklifts can usually reach 13 to 15 feet, while some special forklifts can reach up to 30 feet.
The load capacity of the racking system also affects its height. Heavy or frequently used items should be stored lower for easier access and safety. Additionally, fire safety systems and the strength of the floor limit the height of the rack uprights.
How do you choose the right size of upright racking?
Consider these factors to help you pick the right size rack uprights:
- Weight and dimensions of pallets: Start by assessing the weight and size of the pallets you intend to store. This information is crucial for ensuring the racking system can support the load without risking damage or collapse.
- Frame depth: Calculate the required frame depth based on the dimensions of your pallets. This will ensure that the pallets fit securely within the racking system, providing stability and ease of access.
- Frame height: Determine the necessary height for the frames. Consider the total vertical space available in your warehouse and how high you want to stack your pallets, while also adhering to safety regulations.
- Beam size: Choose the appropriate beam size, which should match the weight capacity requirements and fit within the frame dimensions. It will directly affect the overall strength and stability of the racking system.
Are all pallet rack uprights compatible with all types of pallet racking systems?
No, not all pallet racking uprights are compatible with all types of pallet racking systems. While many systems share standard dimensions, variations in design, load capacity and connection methods can create compatibility issues. When it comes to racking systems, teardrop uprights are the most common style and are compatible with other teardrop hole patterns on the market.
