Row spacers are one of the simplest but most important pallet rack accessories. Installed between back-to-back uprights, they keep rows aligned, ensure proper spacing, and improve overall rack stability. Row spacers are also critical for meeting fire code and permitting requirements, since inspectors typically require a minimum clearance between rack rows.
At IMH, we stock a wide range of row spacers in California and New Jersey, including both standard and heavy-duty models. Whether you need 6″ spacers for light-duty racking or 36″ heavy-duty spacers for deeper systems, we can supply exactly what your warehouse needs.

Why Use Row Spacers in Pallet Racks?
Row spacers are essential for any back-to-back pallet rack setup. They:
Assist in Permitting – Most cities require proof of flue spacing in permit applications. Using row spacers ensures compliance.
Maintain Proper Clearance – Fire codes typically require a minimum 12″ flue space between rows for sprinkler penetration. Row spacers ensure that spacing is consistent across the entire system.
Improve Rack Stability – By tying two rows together, spacers prevent racks from leaning or shifting under heavy loads.
Support Seismic Safety – In earthquake-prone areas like California, row spacers help racks withstand lateral forces.
Reduce Damage Risk – Keeps rows from drifting apart or pulling inward when loaded.
Installation and Recommendations
Row spacers are easy to install, bolting directly between uprights. They are compatible with most selective pallet rack systems and can be added to existing installations without major adjustments.
For stability, the number of row spacers required depends on rack height:
- Racks under 20 ft: 2 spacers per upright
- Racks 20–30 ft: 3 spacers per upright
- Racks over 30 ft: 4 spacers per upright
Proper spacing ensures the entire system remains safe, stable, and compliant with code requirements.
