Flow Pallet Racks

The pallet rack is constructed so that it uses storage space effectively, increases the capacity of warehouse storage areas, and contributes to the clear organization of the material and goods stored. Generally, pallet rack construction is used for storing pallets with material directly on the rack's support beams or on its crossbeams. Barrels, rolls of material, and bundles of sheet metal or boards are stored on specialized crossbeams. Smaller-scale materials or boxes are stored on the decking of the pallet rack's bay. The decking can be manufactured from particle board in various thicknesses, steel grating, panels, etc. The racking quote is provided for the customer according to their requirements. It is common to have single row pallet racking around the perimeter of the warehouse and double row racking in the middle. The aisle width between the racks is determined by the type of forklift that the customer will be using in the warehouse.

• The racking frame is composed of two uprights connected by the vertical and horizontal diagonals. The diagonals are constructed from rolled steel with a C cross section and are fixed to the uprights with bolts. The racking depth is determined by the length of the cross brace.
• The frame uprights are made of cold-rolled profiles. The upright profile is 100 mm wide and is made of from sheets of thickness 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 mm according to the load capacity required. We produce frames in standard heights.
• The frame is perforated with holes 70 mm apart.
• The upright is equipped with a metal footplate that serves to distribute stress and anchor the rack to the floor.
• The uprights are either provided in standard RAL 5010 blue or, alternatively, galvanized.
• The racks are made to be installed on high-quality concrete flooring; any irregularities are compensated for by shims under the frame footplates. After being adjusted, the rack is anchored to the floor using bolts.
• It is customary for racks to be labeled with safety charts for load capacity.
• The depth of the frame is determined by the size of the pallets used; standard sizes are 1100, 900, and 750 mm.
• Double row racking is connected by a spacer to provide the racking with greater stability.
• Passageways for people or vehicles are equipped with decking from particle board or grating to protect against goods falling from the pallets.
• The rack's beams are manufactured from C-sections that has been hot rolled together to create a hollow profile with a rectangular cross section. Special L-shaped steel brackets (left and right) are welded on to both ends. The brackets have angled rectangular pins, which are used to attach the beams to the vertical frame. The beam is always secured by one specially shaped safety catch inside each bracket that protects the beam from falling during pallet handling. Attachment without bolts allows for fast and easy installation.
