• Structural Pallet Rack

Structural Pallet Rack

Structural Pallet Rack Systems provide 100% accessibility to all stored items and are comparable in use and capacity to Ridg-U-Rak's other 100% selective pallet rack systems - Slotted and Tear Drop. Structural storage racks are fabricated using hot-rolled structural steel channels for uprights and beams. A heavy-duty lower horizontal brace and welded foot protector are standard on structural pallet rack systems. These 100% selective pallet racks are covered with long-lasting powder coating and baked enamel finishes providing durability even under the most demanding conditions.

Structural configurations are also used in Drive-In High Density Pallet Rack systems. Installation is simple and safe with Ridg-U-Rak.

Made from solid structural steel channel with either bolted or slotted beam-to-column connections.

Bolted or Slotted

Structural

Beam-to-column bolted pallet rack systems provide a strong and rigid structure that is adjustable on 2-inch increments. Beam-to-column slotted connections provide an easy-to-install and reconfigure system that is adjustable in 4-inch increments.

Column Sizes: 3-inch & 4-inch channels
Beam Sizes: 3-inch and greater
Connection Style Bolted or slotted connections

Features:

  • Various sizes and capacities
  • Slotted is NSF-approved
  • Large base plates

Structural Frames & Beams

Slotted Connections


Upright frames

  • Upright frame capacities vary according to vertical beam spacing. See chart.
  • Upright columns are hot-rolled structural channel with 50,000 psi minimum yield.
  • Upright frames have a safety factor of 1.92 based on minimum yield of steel.
  • Slotted beams are vertically adjustable on 4" centers.
  • Standard colors:
    Uprights - forest green
    Beams - safety orange
    Other colors available on special order.
  • Front column foot protector is optional.
  • Heavy duty lower horizontal brace is optional.

WARNING: Due to the system-based design approach of the current RMI Specification, the use of static load capacities are no longer appropriate. Load ratings can only be provided through a system analysis which accounts for configuration of the system, static loading, seismic parameters, stability requirements and the interaction characteristics of the various system components.These capacity tables should only be used as a "starting point"
