Selective Pallet Rack
The most universal pallet racking system, with direct access to every pallet position.
Warehouse space in Germantown is tight and expensive, which changes the math on racking entirely. Most operators here are working out of a mid-size flex bay behind a retail or office frontage, not a 200,000 square foot distribution center, and every foot of clear height matters. When inventory grows, moving buildings usually is not realistic — going vertical is. Memphis Pallet Rack designs pallet rack systems for Germantown businesses that need more storage without more rent, and we turn a layout and an itemized quote around in days so you are not stuck guessing at capacity.
Selective racking, push back, drive-in, pallet flow, cantilever, and carton flow — supplied, delivered, and installed by experienced racking crews, with a free CAD layout and an itemized quote before you spend anything.
Germantown warehouses tend to be smaller, cleaner, and closer to the public than the big Mid-South distribution boxes, and that shapes what belongs in them. A flex bay off Poplar with an eight-foot dock and a stand-up forklift needs different aisle widths and different beam elevations than a cross-dock near the airport. We spec around your actual equipment instead of assuming a wide-aisle sit-down truck. Smaller buildings also punish wasted space harder, so the layout work matters more here than almost anywhere in the metro — a few inches of beam spacing can be a full extra level. Our Memphis warehouse is a short drive away, which keeps freight costs down on partial loads and makes it easy to get a handful of replacement beams the same week you ask. One local team handles the design, the steel, and the install.
Areas covered include Poplar corridor, Forest Hill-Irene, Wolf River.

The process is deliberately simple. You tell us pallet dimensions and weights, forklift type, clear height, and roughly how many positions you need. Our design team returns a CAD layout showing where every bay lands, how wide the aisles run, and what the finished pallet count is — free, and typically within a few days. The quote that comes with it is itemized so the steel, decking, accessories, and labor are all visible. For Germantown operations we most often specify selective racking, since mixed SKUs and daily picking reward direct access to every position. Where product stores deep, push back adds density without giving up a full aisle, and carton flow handles case picking for smaller items. Wire decking, row spacers, column protectors, and end-of-aisle guards go in where forklift traffic makes them worth having. Installation crews anchor, plumb, level, label, and capacity-tag the system, then we stay on call for expansion bays, reconfigurations, and parts as your inventory changes.

Before designing your pallet rack system, there are several key factors to consider. Our warehouse design specialists will help you answer these questions during your free consultation.
Straight answers on layout, lead times, rack types, and installation.
Beyond Germantown we rack warehouses throughout east Shelby County and the greater Memphis area, so a company running more than one building can keep the same rack profile everywhere. Operators comparing options often look at our Collierville pallet racks, Bartlett pallet racks and Arlington pallet racks pages as well.
