Product Portfolio
Heavy-Duty Warehouse Racking Solutions
Explore our range of structural and roll-formed industrial storage racks designed for maximum durability, inventory control, and seamless order fulfillment.
Pushback Racking Systems
High-density Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) storage storing pallets 2 to 6 deep on nested carts. Fills storage cubes while eliminating unnecessary aisle space.
Up to 6 Pallets Deep (LIFO)
Pallet Flow Racking
Gravity-driven First-In, First-Out (FIFO) dynamic rack system. Ideal for high-velocity distribution centers, date-sensitive goods, and cold storage facilities.
Dynamic FIFO Flow Control
Drive-In / Drive-Thru Racking
Maximum space utilization for large volumes of uniform SKUs. Reduces aisle requirements to increase total pallet capacity by up to 75% over selective systems.
75% Space Density Increase
Cantilever Racking
Engineered without front obstruction columns for storing long, heavy, or irregularly shaped inventory such as steel pipes, lumber, extrusions, and furniture.
Long & Bulky Cargo Storage
Carton Flow Racks
Integrated roller beds and wheel tracks that utilize gravity to feed split-case boxes to picking faces, drastically reducing worker travel time and picking errors.
Optimized Order Picking
Over-Dock Door Racking
Converts unused vertical space above loading dock doors into structured storage for empty pallets, staging materials, and packaging supplies.
Unused Space Utilization
Multi-Tier Pick Modules
Engineered multi-level order fulfillment structures integrating pallet flow, carton flow, and automated conveyor systems for massive throughput capacity.
High-Volume Fulfillment
Automated Vertical Carousels & AS/RS
Goods-to-person enclosed storage units that dynamically deliver items directly to operators, maximizing vertical building height and securing critical inventory.
Goods-to-Person AS/RS
Facility Protection
Heavy-Duty Wire Decking & K3 Sprinkler Guards
Protect your inventory and workforce with safety-certified structural accessories engineered to prevent forklift impact damage and enforce fire code compliance.
K3 In-Rack Sprinkler Guards
Accidental forklift impact with in-rack sprinkler heads can cause catastrophic water damage to warehouse inventory and structural systems. Heavy-duty K3 Sprinkler Guards provide robust steel impact defense without obstructing water flow patterns required by NFPA code compliance.
Full compliance with NFPA 13 fire protection standards
High-strength powder-coated steel impact guards
Custom fit options for all standard pallet rack beam profiles

Warehouse Racking System Comparison Matrix
Compare key engineering metrics to select the ideal structural racking configuration for your procurement requirements.
| Racking System Type | Storage Density | SKU Selectivity | Inventory Rotation | Forklift Aisle Requirement | Primary Industrial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selective Pallet Rack | Standard | 100% Immediate | FIFO / LIFO | Standard (10' - 12') | High SKU variety, lower pallet quantities per SKU |
| Pushback Racking | High (2-6 Deep) | Moderate per Lane | LIFO | Reduced Aisles | Medium SKU count, medium-to-high volume batch storage |
| Pallet Flow Rack | Very High | Strict Lane-Based | FIFO (Dynamic) | Dedicated Loading & Picking | Perishables, food & beverage, high-velocity shipping |
| Drive-In / Drive-Thru | Maximum | Low Selectivity | LIFO (Drive-In) / FIFO (Drive-Thru) | Minimal Aisles | Bulk storage, uniform SKUs, cold storage facilities |
| Cantilever Racks | Custom Density | 100% Unobstructed | Manual / Forklift | Variable depending on arm length | Lumber, pipes, sheet metal, long extrusions |
| Automated AS/RS & Vertical Carousels | Ultra-High Vertical | Automated Access | Software Controlled | Zero Internal Aisles | High-value parts, small parts picking, cleanroom storage |

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers for warehouse managers, industrial engineers, and global procurement officers.
How do I choose between Selective, Pushback, and Pallet Flow Racking for high-volume storage?
System selection depends on your SKU count, rotation priority (FIFO vs. LIFO), and floor space constraints. Selective Racking offers 100% immediate SKU accessibility for high-mix inventories. Pushback Racking maximizes storage density by consolidating 2 to 6 pallets deep per lane on a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) basis. Pallet Flow Racks utilize dynamic gravity lanes to support strict First-In, First-Out (FIFO) batch management, ideal for perishable goods or high-velocity distribution.
Do RMH Systems industrial racking systems conform to international safety and structural standards?
Yes. All warehouse racking systems designed and integrated by RMH Systems strictly adhere to ANSI MH16.1 specifications, Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) standards, and OSHA safety guidelines. We perform rigorous seismic calculation modeling and load-capacity evaluations for international installations.
Can RMH Systems provide complete end-to-end turnkey racking solutions for international projects?
Absolutely. RMH Systems manages the entire project lifecycle—from initial CAD floor plan engineering and capacity simulations to heavy-duty component fabrication, export packaging, global freight logistics, and on-site engineering commissioning supervision.
