Pallet supports are steel bars that rest across rack beams, providing additional stability and safety for palletized loads. They create a secondary support surface so pallets don’t sag or fall through beams, especially when storing non-standard or weaker pallets.
At IMH, we stock drop-in pallet supports in 36″, 42″, and 48″ sizes, designed to rest securely on top of beams with a slight overhang to prevent shifting. With inventory in Riverside, California and Delran, New Jersey, we can supply pallet supports quickly for projects across both regions.

| Drop-In Pallet Supports | 36″, 42″, 48″ | Rest on top of beams with slight overhang to prevent sliding |
All IMH pallet supports are built from heavy-duty steel, ensuring long-term durability under demanding warehouse conditions.
Why Use Pallet Rack Supports in Your Warehouse?
Pallet Rack supports are a low-cost but highly effective accessory for any warehouse storage system. They:
- Prevent Pallet Failure – Not all pallets are perfectly built. Pallet supports catch and stabilize weaker pallets, preventing accidents.
- Increase Flexibility – Allows storage of different pallet sizes, cartons, or mixed items without worrying about beam spacing.
- Support Fire Code Compliance – Helps maintain open flue spaces while still giving pallets a secure resting point.
- Reduce Damage – Keeps pallets from sagging or breaking, lowering the risk of product loss.
- Lower-Cost Alternative – Provides safety without the higher cost of full wire decking, especially in pallet-only warehouses.
For many warehouses in California logistics hubs like Ontario and Fontana, pallet rack supports are a required part of permitting packages when storing pallets in high-pile configurations.
Installation and Compatibility
IMH pallet rack supports feature a drop-in design, making installation quick and easy. Simply place them on the rack beams, and the slight overhang keeps them secure.
Can be installed on new or existing racks without tools.
Compatible with most selective pallet rack systems.
Typically installed two per pallet position for standard loads.
For heavier or non-standard loads, additional supports may be added.
Pallet Supports vs. Wire Decks
Both pallet supports and wire decking play important roles in warehouse storage:
- Pallet Supports – Best for pallet-only storage, offering strong load-bearing support while maintaining open flue space.
- Wire Decks – Better for mixed storage, cartons, or irregular products since they provide a full shelf surface.
Many warehouses combine the two depending on storage needs. For example, pallet supports may be used in heavy pallet positions, while wire decks cover levels where loose items are stored.
