Structural Pallet Rack Styles

Channel Bolted Pallet Rack Upright Frames

• Upright frame columns consist of 3" or 4" structural channel steel. Steel thickness increases resistance to fork truck impact damage and load carrying capacity and resistance to seismic forces.
• Upright frames are punched on 4" vertical centers. Beam connector clips specially punched allow for vertical adjustability in 2" increments.
• Diagonal and horizontal braces are used throughout the entire frame. Braces are, 2"x2" and 1.5"x1.5" structural angles welded to the columns. 75% more substantial than competitive structural racks.
• Footpads are made of 7-gauge steel plates and welded to each column, efficiently dispersing floor loads.
• Each footpad features multiple anchor holes, facilitating installation and re-anchoring.
• Safety factor equaling 1.92: 1.

• Has minimum safety yields:
  • Columns = 50,000 p.s.i.
  • Balance = 36,000 p.s.i.

• Capacities are based upon minimum steel yields rather than the actual average steel yield we receive. Capacities, on average, will be greater than those stated, and will never be less than stated.

Load Beams

• Beams are constructed of structural "C"-channel or formed step beams. Allowing us to provide the most effective and economical rack for your load and usage patterns.
• All beams are constructed of high-strength (50,000 p.s.i. minimum) steel. Our capacities are based on minimum steel strength. Actual capacity for all our beams is equal to or greater than listed capacity.
• Has a safety factor equaling 1.67: 1.

Beam Connections

• Constructed of heavy 5-gauge steel plates, featuring a wrap-around design.
• Beams are bolted to the upright frame column, no need for extra safety locks to secure the connection.
• Each load beam end is bolted to the column with two grade-5 bolts and nuts, providing 57% higher moment capacity than a one-bolt design.
• Every connector plate features round holes, not slots.
• Bolted beams are easily adjustable in 2" vertical increments and can be adjusted just as easily and quickly as boltless designs. Up to 50% greater adjustability than competitive structural racks.
• Bolted connections are designed to exceed RMI standards and will withstand an accidental upward impact of 1,000 lbs, for operational safety.

Load Rails, Structural Angle Type

• Load rails constructed of structural angle steel, for increased strength and abuse resistance.
• Structural angles are positioned so the angle's vertical leg acts as a load guide. This maintains proper load positioning, keeping it on the rails. It also prevents the load from falling between rails.
• Drive-in rails feature rear rail "stops." These stops prevent loads from being pushed off. Different from add-on stops, every stop is welded to its rail, which lowers installation costs and reduces additional parts.
• Drive-in rails are available with "flared" angles at the rack's entrance, easing loading and unloading.
• All bolted connections utilize high strength grade-5 hardware.
• Front arms are welded to the rail's side. This reduces rail protrusion into the aisle by 2"-3", improving safety and reducing the risk of possible product damage.
