Pallet Racking
Pallet racking, also known as selective racking or beam racking, is a type of heavy-duty shelving and the most widely used storage system in the world.
Specifications
The load capacity per level of pallet racking ranges from 800 to 4,500 kg, with a maximum designed capacity of up to 5,000 kg. Pallet racking is typically customized based on pallet dimensions, with the standard steel pallet size being 1,200 * 1,000 mm. The standard cutting length for beams is calculated as twice the pallet width plus 300 mm, while the frame depth is the pallet depth minus 100 mm. Common specifications for uprights and beams include 90 * 70 * 2.0 mm for uprights and 120 * 50 * 1.5 mm for beams. Colors can be customized according to user requirements, with sapphire blue, orange-red, and light gray being the most common choices. The higher the uprights, the greater the pallet overhang required to ensure stability. Pallet racking includes drive-in pallet racking and gravity pallet racking. Drive-in pallet racking allows forklifts (or AGVs equipped with forks) to drive into the aisles to access goods, making it suitable for storing large quantities of a limited variety of items. Gravity pallet racking (also known as live pallet racking) is derived from standard pallet racking and is ideal for storing large volumes of similar goods. It utilizes the gravitational force of the cargo to facilitate access, with the depth and number of levels determined by specific requirements.
