Selective pallet racking gives you direct access to every pallet, in any order. It’s the most widely used warehouse storage system in Australia and for good reason: each pallet sits in its own bay, accessible by forklift from the aisle, with no need to move other stock to reach what you need.
It’s suited to operations that store a wide variety of SKUs, need regular access to stock, or want a system that can grow and adapt alongside the business. Absolute Storage Systems designs, supplies and installs selective racking across Australia, fully configured to your floor plan and forklift type.

Selective racking consists of upright frames and horizontal beams that create individual bays, one pallet position per slot. Because no pallet sits behind another, your forklift can access any bay directly, without relocating stock to get to what you need.
This makes it the right system when product variety is high or stock turns over frequently. Businesses storing large volumes of a single product line, where maximum density matters more than individual access, are usually better suited to drive-in or double deep racking instead.
Selective racking looks straightforward, but getting the bay sizing, beam levels and load ratings right is what determines whether the system works for years or creates bottlenecks. Absolute Storage Systems has been specifying and installing selective racking since 1991.

For warehouses handling a wide range of products, the ability to reach any pallet without moving others is what keeps picking fast and accurate. Selective racking delivers that accessibility while still making proper use of vertical space.
Selective racking is the right system for most general-purpose warehouses, and the right starting point if you’re not yet sure which configuration suits your stock. Our team can assess your current setup or design a new system from scratch, contact us to get started.
Selective racking gives direct, independent access to every pallet. Drive-in and double deep systems increase storage density but require moving stock in a set order to reach pallets at the back.
