Heavy Duty Pallet Racks That provides Safety & Durability

Durability and Safety in a Pallet racking system has always been a prime concern for both pallet racks system manufactures and also the end user of the pallet racking system deployed for various storage solution. Breach of safety can not only damage a huge inventory, but also human life, that’s priceless. While designing the pallet racking system certain safety and durability constraints should always be considered.Pallet racking system should be so designed that it provide a heavy duty pallet racking system for more robust material handling environment. The Heavy duty industrial pallet rack should also provide all safety measure to refrain from any disasters.

Pallet Racks Designs for Durability

  • Material : structural vs. roll-formed
  • Horizontal spacing
  • Boxed or double columns
  • Rub rails / heavy horizontals at the floor
  • Post protectors / bull noses
  • Multiple anchors
  • Bolt in pallet supports
  • Load Density

Safety Accessories that are used in pallet racking system

  • Safety Bar – Pallet rack safety bars are used in pallet rack for added pallet fall protection. Safety bars connect from the front to the back of the cross beams.
  • Safety Beam Clip – Safety beam clips are found on pallet rack cross beams. These clips create a safety connection between the upright frame and the cross beam. The most common style of a pallet rack clip is the universal safety drop pin.
  • Safety Netting – Safety Netting Is made of a nylon or plastic mesh placed on the back of rack systems for increased safety and fall protection.
  • Wire Mesh Deck – Wire mesh decks are made of welded wire that rests on the beams of the racking system, creating a shelf level for added protection from falling pallets or products. Most wire decks have support channels welded on the bottom of the wire for increased load support capacity.

Some of the preventive maintenance for the Pallet racking system that should be regularly practiced are as follows

  • Ensure that the racks are inspected for damage on a periodic basis
  • Develop repair criteria for damage
  • Ensure that all re-profiling is reviewed by vendor’s engineering department
  • DO NOT utilize repair kits unless approved by original rack manufacturer
  • Insist on driver training certification for all new  operators, and recertification for existing at  appropriate intervals
  • When damage occurs, immediately unload bay until  repair is completed

Cantilever Racks are They Better Than Standard Pallet Racks

Cantilever racks are considered to be more superior storage solution for various storage solution as compared to conventional pallet racks, Some feature of a cantilever racks that makes more acceptable for storage solution as compared to the standard storage solutions. Cantilever racks provides higher storage density and is a robust storage structure with low maintenance cost to provide heavy duty cantilever racks for industrial storage solutions.

Cantilever racks are:

  • Easier to use and deploy for storage solution: Since the cantilever racks come with no front column in the way and provides less obstruction is loading and unloading operation of goods.. This makes cantilever racks are faster to load and unload and lowers the operation cost incurred for handling of goods and not forgetting the time saves
  • Cantilever racks are more flexible: Cantilever racks are most preferred storage solution as compare to pallets racks mainly for long products that can be placed in entire length. This is one reason why cantilever racks are frequently opted by manufacturers of long section tube and steel mills making long bars. Cantilever rocks are embraced as storage solution by wood and lumber industry, for storing long lumber sections. At times cantilever racks used for lumber storage are termed as cantilever lumber racks.
  • Cantilever Racks are more compact: Sine there is not front a front column in cantilever racks storage solution, it provides more horizontal loading area and space that are lost by columns in other storage rack structure. Provide higher clearance for loading and unloading of goods stored on cantilever racks.
  • Cantilever Racks More selective: The loading and unloading is very easy, since any load or storage slot is immediately accessible, due to absence of front column.
  • Cantilever Racks are more cost effective:  Sine the loading unloading operation reduces time, it saves on handling cost. The storage density also increases in cantilever racks making it more cost-effective and economical. Additionally, cantilever racks become more economical as load length increases, while standard pallet racks increase in costs.
