Features & Benefits
Advantages of our Keystone Style Pallet Racks — robust construction, adaptable configurations, and ANSI/RMI compliance for efficient and safe warehouse storage.
High-Strength Construction
Roll-formed steel uprights and beams — up to 5,000 lbs per beam level. Keyhole slot provides inherent load-locking security under weight.
Tool-Free Beam Adjustment
Keyhole slot allows beam connector hooks to insert and lock in approximately 2-inch increments without tools — fast setup and reconfiguration.
Versatile Configurations
Selective, double-deep, drive-in, push-back, and pallet flow configurations available — same uprights support multiple rack system types.
Cost-Effective
Lower initial cost than structural rack systems. Modular expansion and tool-free reconfiguration minimize long-term ownership cost.
ANSI/RMI Certified
Complies with ANSI MH16.1 and RMI standards. OSHA requires load capacity placards on every bay before first use.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish
Powder-coated finish in standard or custom colors. Standard gray or orange available; custom colors for zone identification.
Types of Keystone Style Pallet Racks
Five Keystone Style Pallet Rack configurations — from general-purpose selective to high-density FIFO pallet flow systems.
Standard Selective Keystone Racks
General-purpose selective racking — every pallet directly accessible from the aisle without moving other pallets. Most common configuration.
- Best For: General storage, diverse SKUs
- Features: 100% pallet accessibility, easy reconfiguration
Double Deep Keystone Racks
Two-pallet-deep storage per row — increases storage density approximately 30% vs selective. Requires reach truck with extended-reach mast.
- Best For: High-density storage, medium SKU count
- Features: Higher density, reach-truck required
Drive-In Keystone Racks
Forklift drives into the rack — maximizes floor space for high-volume similar SKUs. LIFO inventory rotation. Highest density of all configurations.
- Best For: High-volume homogeneous SKUs, cold storage
- Features: Maximum density, LIFO, space-efficient
Push-Back Keystone Racks
Pallets loaded from one side — new pallets push existing pallets back on inclined carts. LIFO system — fast SKU rotation from single aisle.
- Best For: Fast product rotation, 2–5 pallets deep
- Features: LIFO system, single-aisle loading and unloading
Pallet Flow Keystone Racks
Pallets load from rear, gravity rollers move them to pick face — FIFO inventory rotation. Separate load and pick aisles for safe, efficient throughput.
- Best For: FIFO inventory, food/pharma, high-throughput
- Features: Gravity rollers, FIFO flow, separate load/pick aisles

Keystone vs. Other Pallet Rack Styles
How Keystone Style Pallet Racks compare to other racking systems including our popular Teardrop Pallet Racks — key differences for informed purchasing decisions.
| Feature | Keystone Style Rack | Teardrop Rack | Slotted Rack | Structural Rack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connection Type | Keyhole-shaped slot — tool-free, locks under load | Teardrop-shaped slots — widely interchangeable | Straight slots with bolts | Bolted hot-rolled steel beams |
| Ease of Assembly | Fast and tool-free — approximately 2" increments | Very easy — tool-free, widest industry compatibility | Moderate — bolt fastening required | Requires tools — structural bolted connections |
| Compatibility | Keystone and Republic systems only — verify before ordering additions | Widely interchangeable with most major brands | Limited — manufacturer-specific | System-specific — structural bolt patterns vary |
| Load Capacity | Excellent — up to 5,000 lbs per beam level | Good — up to 5,000+ lbs per beam level | Moderate — light to medium duty | Highest — heavy-duty industrial applications |
| Cost Efficiency | Affordable roll-formed steel with long service life | Cost-effective — widest availability for used rack | Budget option — lower load ratings | Higher initial cost — justified for impact-heavy use |
| Ideal Use Case | Upgrades to existing Keystone systems or new heavy-load storage | New installations — widest compatibility for future expansion | Light-duty storage — small parts and supplies | High-impact, very heavy loads and outdoor applications |
Verdict: Keystone pallet racks offer an excellent balance of strength, affordability, and tool-free adjustability — ideal for upgrading existing Keystone systems or new heavy-load warehouse installations. If starting from scratch, also consider Teardrop racks for the widest future compatibility. Contact Pallet Storage Solutions at 734-621-5052 for a recommendation specific to your situation.
Installation Guide
Seven-step installation process for Keystone Style Pallet Racks — ensuring safe assembly, correct alignment, and OSHA compliance before first use.
1. Inspect Components
Check uprights, beams, and clips for damage before assembly. Do not install damaged components.
2. Plan Layout
Confirm column spacing, beam height, and aisle widths match your forklift operating radius requirements.
3. Assemble Uprights
Position upright frames plumb in both directions — out-of-plumb columns reduce rated capacity significantly.
4. Attach Beams
Insert beam connector hooks into Keystone slots at correct height — hooks lock down under load automatically.
5. Add Accessories
Install wire decking, safety bars, row spacers, and column protectors before loading.
6. Level & Anchor
OSHA requires base plates to be floor-anchored. Select anchor bolt type and embedment based on column load and concrete strength.
7. Final Safety Check
Verify beam locks, plumb alignment, and anchor bolt torque. Install OSHA-required load capacity placards before first use.
Tip: For multi-bay systems, professional installation ensures correct plumb alignment, OSHA-compliant anchoring, and load capacity placard installation. Contact us for full design and pallet rack installation services — call 734-621-5052.
