Pallet Rack Uprights
Connect pallet rack uprights as the vertical support frames for your rack system so you can build and stabilize storage bays by attaching beams to organize and store pallets efficiently.
Pallet Rack Upright Frames
Uprights connect to beams to create a pallet racking storage system. Two uprights are required to make one selective rack bay.
Teardrop Pallet Rack Uprights Compatibility - Don't be confused when dealing with "old" vs "new" style teardrop upright pallet rack frames. All of our "new" teardrop pallet rack upright frames are compatible with most teardrop beams, but if you move into our used options make sure you remember these guidelines:
Old Style Teardrop Beams + New Style Teardrop Uprights = NO
Old Style Teardrop Beams + Old Style Teardrop Uprights = YES
New Style Teardrop Beams + New Style Teardrop Uprights = YES
New Style Teardrop Beams + Old Style Teardrop Uprights = YES
Uprights are the vertical towers that are connected by beams to create sections of selective pallet rack. These towers come in a variety of shapes and styles, and they range in height and width to suit the space that you have available to store your material. Teardrop pallet rack uprights are the most common style in the industry followed by several less universal styles such as new style, keystone, Ridg-U-Rak and structural rack. The width depends on what you are storing on it and the weight of your product.
When purchasing, be sure to know your warehouse layout (see our warehouse layout and design consultation services). One bay of pallet rack consists of two uprights connected by four beams (unless more beam levels are needed). You would add one additional upright connected by four beams (depending on height) to an existing bay of selective pallet rack to create a new bay.

FAQs
A. No, because it takes two uprights to create a bay of pallet rack, the capacity is communicated per bay. For example, if you see an upright capacity of 20,000 lbs, you can generally install up to 4 beam levels at 5,000 lbs each, if the loads are evenly distributed at standard beam elevations.
A. Yes, it is common for the capacity ratings to be communicated using 48” beam spacing starting at the floor. If you need to space the beams further apart, the capacity of the bay will be less.
A. There are several important factors to consider when buying uprights, including planning for future growth by choosing taller uprights when possible, as this is often more cost-effective over time than replacing shorter ones later, selecting the proper upright depth based on the size of your product since uprights are available in a wide range of depths, and accounting for your location, as certain areas of the United States require oversized footplates or additional bracing to meet seismic requirements.
A. The most common depth upright for pallets is 42”. This allows a standard pallet to hang over the front and rear beams by several inches. Other popular depths are 44” and 48”, based on users pallet size and/or weights.
