I created a sketch showing the main pallet rack components on the main pallet rack page. But sometimes you just need to see it to believe it. And with the power of youtube, there are loads of videos showing different styles of pallet racks.

Pallet Rack Description

The video below is perfect because it describes the basic components of a pallet rack. The pallet rack shown is provided by “RackandShelf”, but it is representative of a standard free standing pallet rack manufactured by hundreds of companies.

The pallet rack description includes the basic components of uprights and load beams, as well as closeup views of the tear drop design used by many fabricators for easy installation. The narrator also describes the bolted bracing used in this particular design instead of standard welded braces.
