Pallet & Bulk Storage Rack

Pallet Rack Systems -

Pallet rack expands your useable storage space without expensive building expansion, maximizing all available space within your building - both horizontally and vertically. Racks hold pallets two, three, even four high without fear of crushing inventory. And, the rack's open design makes it easy for a forklift to access any load

Steps to Selection

Determine the space you have available for your rack installation and information on the type of material to be stored.
Assess the storage area. Locate doors, columns and other obstructions on a floor plan. Take in consideration the overhead height, check for joists, ductwork, lights, sprinkler systems, etc.
Determine actual load requirements as accurately as possible. Check the height, width and depth of load and pallet. Will pallet be stacked?
Determine length of beam by taking thee width of the pallet or load whichever is greater and multiply by the number of loads per shelf. Add clearance of 3"-4" between upright frame and load, and 4" between loads
Determine beam capacity by taking the number of loads per level and multiplying by the weight per load.
Determine frame width by taking the depth of the pallet and subtract 4"-6"
Determine upright frame height by taking the height of load and pallet and 6" clearance (top of load to bottom of beam) add beam height, then multiply total by number of levels and round to the nearest foot.
Determine upright capacity by taking load per level and multiplying by number of levels.
Determine wall spacers by taking pallet over hang and adding 6".
Determine row spacers by taking pallet over hang and adding 2".
Now you can layout your rack system. Remember to leave room for your forklift turning radius.
