Pallet Racking Uprights

Used heavy-duty pallet rack uprights can often be purchased independently to supplement an existing racking system or to piece together separate used pallet racking components for your customized solution. Rack uprights can have many different manufacturers, such as Meco, Interlake, Steel King, Anderson, Ridg-U-Rak, and many more. Some manufacturers may be cross-compatible with each other. Also, some manufacturers will make both a slide-in and a bolt-thru style beam. Beyond the upright style choice, you will find them in different depths, heights, and capacities. These used industrial racking uprights are combined with beams and wire decks to make a complete system.

Types of Pallet Racking Uprights

The uprights you choose affect everything from how much you can store to how stable and reliable your entire rack system feels. Even subtle design changes can impact what fits and how well it all works together. Teardrop uprights are common and easy to install, with a design that fits many popular pallet racking components. Structural uprights, made from hot-rolled steel, are tougher and ideal for heavy loads or high-traffic areas. Some are bolted; others are welded. Certain styles make more sense for bulk storage, while others fit better in narrow aisles. The key is choosing uprights that match how your system needs to function today — and how it might grow later.

FAQs

What are pallet rack uprights?

Pallet rack uprights are the vertical supports in a rack system. They fasten to horizontal beams and hold the entire structure together. Pallet uprights define the height and depth of each bay, offering stability for pallets, boxes, inventory, and basically any type of storage. Want to keep inventory and staff safe while using every bit of vertical room? Then you absolutely need tough, upright pallet rack frames.

How do you choose the right size pallet rack uprights?

The correct size will be dependent on the rack height desired, the materials being stored, and the total load each rack must bear. Upright frames are the first part of the vertical storage — the taller they are, the more you can store vertically. It's also important to check compatibility with your existing pallet rack beams and overall warehouse layout.

Are pallet racking uprights universal across connection types?

No, uprights are not universal. Different systems use different connection styles: teardrop, keystone, bolt-in, etc. These styles don’t always work together, even if the uprights appear similar. Always confirm the connection type of both your uprights and beams before combining components in your pallet racking system to ensure safety and fit.

Are all pallet rack uprights compatible with all types of pallet racking systems?

Not every type of pallet rack upright will work with every pallet rack system. The systems differ in size, hole spacing, and connection type. Heavy-duty performance components typically need matching structural uprights, while teardrop styles allow for more open-endedness (for example, the front stub axle can be mounted horizontally or vertically). Ensure pallet racking components are compatible before ordering.

Are used pallet rack uprights safe?

Yes, as long as the uprights have been properly inspected. Look for signs of rust, bending, breakage, or any damage that could compromise stability before buying. At Container Exchanger, we evaluate the structural integrity and load capacity of all used pallet rack uprights. When sourced responsibly, they are an economical alternative that doesn't compromise on safety or performance reliability.
