They are suitable for applications that require seismic calculations and permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t see the size you need? We make\u00a0<a href=\"\/services\/custom-fabrication\">custom pallet rack<\/a>\u00a0to your specifications. Just\u00a0<a href=\"\/contact\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Capacities are listed in lbs per bay and are based on 48\u2033 beam spacing with a uniformly distributed static load. Capacities for your configuration should be verified by\u00a0<a href=\"\/services\/seismic-calculations\">seismic calculations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pallet racks are a great way to quickly and easily increase the storage capacity of your warehouse. They are the ideal way to store pallets, heavy or bulky items. Warehouse space is expensive, and pallet racking helps utilize the vertical space of your warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upright frame is an essential part of a pallet rack system, and you\u2019ll want to make sure that you consider the height and depth that you\u2019ll need for the items you plan to store in your new storage system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting the Best Height and Depth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common depth for upright frames is 42 inches since this size fits standard 48\u2033D x 40\u2033W pallets and provides the proper support. The next most common size is 48 inches deep. Frame depth can be manufactured to any specification to fit your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The frame height will be limited by several important factors: ceiling height, sprinklers, and forklift reach. There needs to be adequate clearance above the items on the top shelf for both sprinklers and ceiling clearance. And don\u2019t forget to consider how high your forklift can reach when planning the height of your highest beam level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frame Capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most frame capacities are calculated per bay and are based on beams spaced every 48 inches. The\u00a0<a href=\"\/blog\/pallet-rack-sizes\">capacity of a frame<\/a>\u00a0depends greatly on the height of the first beam level as well as the distance between each beam level. Adding beam levels reduces the space between each beam level and provides more connection points to\u00a0<a href=\"\/blog\/pallet-rack-sizes\">support the frame<\/a>. This increases the capacity of the frame. Also, the thickness of your concrete flooring can be a limiting factor when calculating the frame\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the capacity of your specific pallet rack configuration (ie, for safety or permitting purposes), contact us and one of our industrial shelving experts can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Frame Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The seismic zone you\u2019re in can change anchoring requirements as well as capacity ratings. People in areas that are more prone to earthquakes should consider this when planning their pallet rack purchase. We can help with\u00a0<a href=\"\/services\/seismic-calculations\"><strong>seismic calculations<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0which will give you a capacity rating based on your specific location, pallet rack configuration and slab thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you consider how these factors can possibly affect your load capacity prior to purchasing the materials needed to build your storage system. And when in doubt, call us to talk to a pallet rack expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Warehouse Racking Professionals Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions, we highly recommend that you consult us prior to making any big decisions concerning your pallet racking.
