Storage That Keeps Up With Direct-to-Consumer Demand
Direct-to-you shopping warehouses run on a different clock than a traditional distribution center. Orders come in continuously, SKU counts run high, and a delay in receiving your pallet rack is a delay in getting a facility live — every week without racking is a week of freight sitting on the floor instead of on a shelf.
Material Handling USA solves that by keeping our most-requested teardrop pallet rack physically in stock at our Salt Lake City, Utah location. Whether you are standing up a new fulfillment center along the Wasatch Front or expanding an existing one, you can get local delivery or pick the rack up yourself the same day, instead of waiting on a factory build slot.
- Regular-duty and heavy-duty teardrop uprights and beams stocked locally
- Standard orange-beam, green-upright color coding for fast visual bay identification
- Local delivery around the Wasatch Front, or will-call pickup at our Salt Lake City warehouse
- Wire decking, pallet support bars, row spacers, and impact protection specified with the layout
Why Warehouses Choose Locally Stocked Pallet Rack
Already On the Shelf in Salt Lake CityOur most-requested regular-duty teardrop pallet rack — the orange-beam, green-upright configuration most warehouses standardize on — is physically in our Salt Lake City warehouse today, not on a build-to-order schedule from a factory out of state.
Delivery or Will-Call, Your ChoiceNeed it delivered to a new distribution hub along the Wasatch Front, or would you rather send a truck to pick it up yourself and skip the freight line entirely? Both options are available directly from our Salt Lake City location.
Boltless Teardrop AssemblyInterlake-style teardrop uprights and beams lock together without bolts, so a receiving crew can build out bays as fast as pallets show up — no torque wrenches, no hardware inventory to track during install.
Built for High-SKU, High-Turn FulfillmentDirect-to-consumer shopping warehouses run hundreds or thousands of SKUs with constant picking activity. Selective rack gives every pallet position direct forklift access — no digging through a lane to reach the pallet you need next.
Pallet Support Bars IncludedFor undersized or hand-stacked pallets that would sag through open beam spans, cross bars sit between the beams for extra support — specified with the layout, not tracked down separately after the rack is already up.
Protection Built Into the LayoutSeismic bracing at the base plate and end-of-aisle rack guards absorb forklift contact and ground movement before either reaches the upright itself — a fraction of the cost of replacing a bent frame.Need Rack This Week, Not Next Month?

Which Pallet Rack Type Fits a Fulfillment Warehouse?
Most direct-to-consumer operations lean on selective rack because pick velocity and SKU variety matter more than squeezing every cubic foot of density out of the building. Drive-in and push-back rack still earn a place in the layout for bulk single-SKU storage or where floor space runs short.
Selective Pallet RackThe standard for direct-to-you fulfillment: every pallet position is reachable without moving another pallet first. Best where SKU count is high and pick velocity matters more than raw density.
Drive-In / Drive-Through RackThe forklift drives into the rack structure itself to place or pull a pallet. Trades selectivity for density — suited to large quantities of the same SKU, like bulk packaging stock or seasonal overflow.
Push-Back Pallet RackPallets load onto nested carts that ride inclined rails; each new pallet pushes the row back one position (LIFO). Good middle ground of density and selectivity for warehouses short on floor space but still juggling multiple SKUs.Not Sure Which Mix You Need?
We size selective, drive-in and push-back rack together against your SKU count, pallet turns and building footprint — most direct-to-you warehouses end up running mostly selective rack with a smaller drive-in or push-back zone for bulk packaging stock.
Teardrop Pallet Rack: What’s Actually in the Bay
The teardrop connection is what makes this rack fast to install and easy to reconfigure. Upright columns are punched with teardrop-shaped holes; beams end in matching connectors that hook in and lock without bolts. Because the hole pattern is a widely used, non-proprietary industry design, teardrop components are generally compatible with other teardrop rack already on your floor.
Beam height adjusts in 2-inch increments, so as box sizes and SKU mix change, bays can be reconfigured without re-drilling or re-bolting the frame.
| Component | What It Provides |
|---|---|
| Upright frames | Teardrop-punched columns, 16-gauge (regular duty) or 14-gauge (heavy duty) roll-formed steel, powder-coated finish; color-coded green as standard |
| Beams | Boxed step beams with teardrop connectors that lock into the upright without bolts; height-adjustable in 2-inch increments; color-coded orange as standard |
| Base plates | Bolted steel base plate anchored to the slab with expansion anchors; seismic bracing and larger plates available where local code requires it |
| Decking | Wire mesh decking (improves sprinkler penetration and light circulation) or steel pallet support bars for hand-stacked and undersized pallet loads |
| Row protection | Row spacers and leveling shims to keep back-to-back rows square and plumb on uneven slabs |
| Impact protection | Column protectors and end-of-aisle rack guards to absorb forklift contact before it reaches the frame |
| Compatibility | Teardrop hole pattern is a non-proprietary industry design, so components are generally compatible with other teardrop-style racking already on your floor |
Decking and support hardware are specified with the layout, not bolted on as an afterthought. Wire mesh decking improves sprinkler penetration and light circulation for code compliance in sprinklered buildings; pallet support bars work better for hand-stacked or undersized loads that would otherwise sag through open beam spans.
Safety, Anchoring & Accessories
A pallet rack layout is only as safe as its base plates, its protection hardware, and how often it gets inspected. These are the pieces we specify alongside the rack itself, not items you have to track down separately after the install.
Base Plates & AnchoringBase plates anchor to the concrete slab with expansion anchors. Seismic bracing and larger plates are available where your building’s seismic design category calls for it.
Row Spacers & Leveling ShimsRow spacers hold back-to-back rows square and at the correct flue space; leveling shims correct for uneven slabs under individual base plates.
Column Protectors & Rack GuardsSteel guards absorb forklift contact at end-of-aisle columns and high-traffic corners before it reaches the upright frame itself.
Safety NettingNetting along the back or sides of a rack run contains cartons that shift during picking or restocking, keeping product off the aisle floor.
Wire Mesh DeckingImproves sprinkler head penetration and lighting through the rack while giving hand-stacked loads a stable surface between beams.
Wire Security Cage EnclosuresA welded wire cage built around a rack bay secures high-value inventory in a warehouse we installed in the Salt Lake City area — the same rack, with a lockable enclosure added.Rack Inspections Are Not Optional
Bent beams, cracked welds, missing safety clips and out-of-plumb frames are real load-bearing hazards, not cosmetic issues. Damaged components should be reported and replaced promptly rather than left in service.
