Conventional pallet racking system represents the best response for those warehouses in which it is necessary to store palletised products with a wide range of load types.

The most significant advantages of conventional pallet racking are:

• Goods can be easily removed as each pallet can be accessed without the need to shift other pallets.
• Total stock control: each storage space is taken up by a single pallet.
• Maximum adaptability to any load type both in terms of weight and volume.

A conventional pallet racking warehouse is generally laid out with single-entry wall racks on the perimeter sides and double-entry racks in the middle. The working aisle measurement between each rack and the rack height depends upon the characteristics of the forklift trucks or lifting devices, pallet size and the height of the warehouse itself.

Tubilar Tear Drop Racks

For years, boltless pallet racks have been popular, due to quick assembly without tools, and a low purchase price. However, many users have found that the open-back roll formed columns do not withstand the inevitable fork truck impacts, thus any initial savings are more than offset by high maintenance and replacement costs. We have developed an industrial storage rack design which retains the benefits of a boltless pallet rack, while offering substantially more durability with the Column Core safety feature; these racks retains the industry standard "tear-drop" connection, and is in fact interchangeable with the majority of industrial storage rack systems in use today. However, a closed tubular column shape is utilized. Independent engineering tests have confirmed that it is:

• 250% more frontal impact strength than a comparable open back column.
• 44 times more torsional strength (resistance to twisting)
• 68% more side impact resistance
• Three rivet connection with 26% greater strength than two rivets
• High strength closed tubes for frame braces and step beams
• Powder Coat Finish - 12 Standard Colors

Because of these benefits, not only are many buyers of new warehouse racks opting for the new tubular design, but many users of existing open back (roll formed) boltless rack are now replacing their damaged upright frames with new boltless frames. Because rack uses the same "tear drop" connection, these users are able to accomplish this upgrade while reusing their existing load beams, decreasing their cost. To make your Rack even stronger, We have optional damage protection available with Column Core, making your Boltless Pallet Rack five times more impact resistant at the front corners and sides where the upright is most vulnerable.
