HOW TO
ORDER PALLET RACKS
|
|
Step
1 |
|
|
Select
Upright Frames
Add the following figures:
Height of pallet loads (including pallet)
+ Height of shelf beam
+ 4" Min. vertical clearance for each
pallet load
Sum of above dimensions = rack
height |
|
|
|
For
uppermost load level, location of shelf
beam should be 6" less than fork trucks
maximum lift height. Top of beams need
to be at even increments. |
|
|
|
Step
2 |
|
|
|
Select
Beams |
|
Shelf
length equals the distance
between uprights. It is determined by
adding the widths of pallet loads plus
a 4" side clearance between upright
and pallet and 4" between pallet loads. |

beam capacities are based on
a pair of beams supporting an evenly
distributed load. |

Beams
over 120" in length should be tied
together with the appropriate front-to-back
support to maintain proper spacing at each
storage level. |

Upright
Ordering Information |
|
|
|
|
Choose uprights to suit your storage requirements: |
|
|
|
|
» Medium-Duty
- 3" x 2-1/4", 14 gauge
» Heavy-Duty - 3" x 3", 13 gauge |
|
|
|
Two frames are required per bay, and any number may
be joined together in continuous row applications
Available in Lake Green |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uprights
conform to the latest standards set by
Rack Manufacturers Institute LRFD Specifications. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Unique
Design - Roll formed upright provides greater strength-to-
weight ratio. Minimum-sized slots mean more steel per upright.
Upright's structures are 100% mig-welded with precision K-brace
and heavy-duty cross channel reinforcement for increased strength,
rigidity and resistance to abuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Easy
Adjustment - Tapered keyhole slots on 2" centers, provide
quick, easy vertical adjustment of beams. There are no dead spots
or obstructions in upright posts to impede movement of beam along
the entire height. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interchangeable
- Our pallet rack fits with other traditional
teardrop designs. That means you can upgrade damaged, weak,
or worn out uprights and beams with our versatile rack. No need
to change your whole system. |

RACK SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Determine
actual load requirements as accurately as possible
and adhere to rated capacities shown in tables on the preceeding
pages. Additional precautions should be taken in applications
where extraordinary rack abuse is anticipated. For example,
when narrow aisles are used for high speed or high inventory turn-
over operations, We recommend additional rack reinforcement.
Impact supports and aisle guidance devices may be advisable
especially at aisle intersections and other vulnerable locations. |
Beam
Length |
|
We
recommend a clearance of 4" between
palletized loads and between loads and
uprights. Beams over 120" in length should
be tied together with the appropriate front-
to-back support to maintain proper spacing
at each storage level. |
|
|
|
Back-to-back
Clearance |
|
|
|
|
Clearance
should be sufficient to
accommodate minimum pallet overhang
and tolerances where pallet placement
may vary. Additional clearances may be
required to accommodate building
structures or intermediate sprinkler
systems (according to local codes). |
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
and Anchoring |
|
To
insure minimum stability standards, racks
should be level, plumb and properly
anchored. |
|
|
|
Seismic
Zones |
|
Since
requirements vary so widely, we
advise you to contact us for assistance on
rack projects in high risk seismic zones. |
