Certified Heavy Duty Customized Industrial Metal Rack

CE Certified Heavy Duty Selective Pallet Racking With Large Loading Capacity

Selective pallet racking, the conventional warehouse storage and retrieval system, should always be operated at maximum loading capacity for safety and durability. If you ever feel confused about the calculation of the racks' load capacity and products' weight limits each bay can hold, this article may help to clear your mind.

When talking about rack capacity, let's start with its main weight-bearing components: upright frames and beams, which work together contributing to the whole structure's integrity and stability.

Here's a beam and upright loading capacity chart for your reference

Beam Capacity

Beam capacity often refers to a pair of beams' capacity since they work together in each bay. Under vertical pressure and horizontal tension, beams undertake the pallet weight and then transfer that to the uprights. The beam distance between two layers is adjusted to pallet load sizes.

Usually, at each beam level, two pallet positions are designed. In that case, the total weight of two pallet loads must be less than the beam capacity at each level. 

Allowable Beam Deflection Formula

Upright Capacity

Taking one bay unit as an example, two upright frames placed left and right with connecting beams form a basic storage unit. After the cargo is loaded on the beams, uprights will immediately bear the compression force transferred to by-products and other related parts.

The capacity each upright will hold will be determined by the load weight and the beam length. In this situation, the term "Deflection" is used to measure the vertical beam deviation distance when loaded. 

When choosing the proper rack material that satisfies your storage requirement, there are some points that are worth your attention.

► In actual application, the first-level loads are usually placed on the ground for cost-saving.

► All the load capacity terms we mentioned before refer to static loads.

► Both beams and uprights' maximum load capacity should be met.

► All the racks should be installed on the floor fulfilling certain project requests.

► Racks including frames, beams, and other accessories should be correctly assembled.

► Capacity redundancy should be left for long-term safety operations and potential damage.
