PALLET
RACK PRODUCTS
When
deciding on which types of pallet racks you should use, one must
consider such factors as the frame depth, the pallet overhangs,
the frame height, the beam length, and back-to-back clearance
and anchoring. The height of the pallet should also be considered
while designing the system or bigger products cannot be fitted.
The
pallet racks are generally made of sheet metal, angles of pallet
frames, and pallet rack beams. They are multi-level units that
are used to stack heavy pallets on. Racks are used to store a
variety of materials such as finished products, work in process
material, rejected goods, inventory items and assembly materials.
Goods can be placed in a pallet rack system with fork lifts and
pallet trucks.

Pallet
Rack Beams
The
manufacturers that we represent have engineered roll-formed
one-piece beams to achieve the highest possible strength-to-weight
ratios in the most frequently desired load ratings through
the use of efficient design and high strength steel.
|

Beams
are offered in different vertical profiles and steel gauges.
Beam step heights of 7/8" and 1-5/8" are available
for a wide variety of accessory use. Both the overlapping
seam and the beam end connector are securely MIG welded
for strength.
The
face of the beam has an M-design recessed configuration
for added strength, protecting the locking key, and to
accept pressure sensitive labeling. Each beam is stamped
with an identifying letter referring to the load bearing
capacity. Beams are finished in 710 Safety Yellow baked
enamel for high visibility.

Pallet
Rack Frames
Our
Pallet Rack Upright Frames are available in five different
load carrying ranges. A letter code stamped into the face
of the post indicates the frame type. Depths of 30",
36", 42", 48", 54" and 60" are
standard, but other depths are available. Standard heights
range from 48" to 240" in 6" increments,
but greater heights can be achieved when splices are used.
|
|
Beam
heights adjust on 3" vertical centers, and are independent
on each side of the frame. Beams of any type can be placed
along the full height of the post; there are no dead spots
on the post, even across a splice. Various load rated frames
can be combined in a row of rack for maximum economy.
Our
Pallet Rack Upright Frames are furnished completely fabricated,
welded into rigid units. Standard finish for upright frames
is 028 Gray baked enamel.
We
recommend that all upright frames be securely anchored to
the floor for safety.
