HOW TO SETUP YOUR PALLET RACK SYSTEM:

 
Selecting a Pallet Beam:
A Determine the beam length as follows:                                    B. Determine the upright frame capacity as follows:
Multiply the number of pallets x width of pallets.                          total the weights of all the loads to be stored on all the beam
Add the clearance between each pallet and upright.                     levels between a pair of uprights.
BEAM LENGTH _____________________________                    UPRIGHT FRAME CAPACITY __________________
B Determine the beam capacity as follows:                                 C. Determine the height to the first beam as follows:
Add the total weight of all the pallets on beam level                      Add load heights + clearance ( min of 4”) + beam width
BEAM CAPACITY ____________________________                   HEIGHT OF FIRST LEVEL ____________________
Selecting an Upright Frame:                                                    Determine upright frame depth as follows:
A Determine upright frame height as follows:                                Depth of the frame is related to how deep the load is from the aisle face.
1. Multiply load height x number of loads high (exclude                 Load depth (into the rack) less 6” to allow 3” pallet
top load).A ____                                                                        overhang on front and back of shelf assembly.
2. Multiply clearance (min 4”) x number of beams B ____              UPRIGHT FRAME DEPTH _______________
3. Multiply beam width x number of beams C ____
4. Add items 1 through 3 for total height.
UPRIGHT FRAME HEIGHT _______________
