Pallet rack uprights act as the structural frame of a racking system. Upright frames securely anchor into the ground, offering a robust and reliable structure to place racking beams. Manufacturers construct uprights from either roll-formed or structural steel materials, each with unique benefits. There are also a variety of hole punch styles, where the uprights connect to the beams. The most popular of which are teardrop-style punch holes.
While uprights are only one component of a pallet racking system, they
still offer some great benefits to your overall system:
From the C-channel construction of structural uprights to durable roll-formed columns, upright frames are engineered to withstand heavy loads and regular operational wear.
Whether it's hole punch variations or different sizes and widths, there are many types of upright frames to choose from. Just be sure the uprights in question match up to the right beams.
While not true for all uprights, some styles, like teardrop, are cross-compatible among brands. Just be sure to check with an equipment expert for the final all-clear before installation.
With robust engineered designs and additional footplate construction for a secure connection to a facility’s foundation, properly installed uprights can withstand years of wear and even lift truck impacts safely.
While a pallet rack upright is just one component of a racking system, don’t think every upright is the same.

So, if you want to learn more about this essential racking system component, be sure to explore the blog for more information.

When searching for pallet rack uprights, connection type is critical to finding the right components for your storage system. While teardrop-style connections tend to be the most popular, you’ll need to examine your existing pallet racks to match up connectors.
Uprights mostly come alongside pallet rack beams in packages, but you can often find quality uprights available in different sizes and connection types. Ensuring that uprights and beams match in connection type and size is essential to forming a durable and strong pallet racking system.
At East Coast Storage Equipment, we often carry surplus uprights in different popular pallet rack configurations.
Used pallet rack uprights are usually just as durable and reliable as new components. Heavy-duty steel construction means uprights can last for decades with proper care. However, since steel tends to rust and weaken in poor storage conditions, consider the source of used uprights before purchasing to ensure quality.
Additionally, you’ll want to double-check that you’re using the appropriate steel type and gauge that matches your other rack components and utilize single or double uprights accordingly. If you fail to source the correct components, it could mean you’re compromising the structural integrity and lifespan of your pallet racks.
When dealing with heavy loads in an industrial or general warehouse environment, it's essential to anchor all your pallet racks for proper protection. Attached to every upright is a footplate. Also known as footpads or baseplates, you can find footplates attached to the base of the upright’s column. Anchoring pallet racks increases the overall stability of the storage system.
Depth x height. So, if you see 42″ x 16′, that means that the upright is 42″ deep x 16′ high/tall.
