A structural pallet rack is constructed out of structural steel and offers significant advantages over other forms of rack. Structural steel is made with reinforced channel corners and features thicker steel columns. In the event of an accidental collision, it can withstand far greater force of impact than rolled steel. Structural pallet racks also feature a much sturdier construction. They are bolted together and welded with AWS-certified criteria.
Three of our most popular designs are the SelecDeck, the Drive-In/Drive-Through, and the Glide-In “Push Back” systems.
SelecDeck Case Flow Systems
Typical gravity case pallet racks often present a number of challenges to smooth process flow. Their tracks and wheels will fall out, and the operation suffers downtime as crews scramble to implement repairs. The SelecDeck Structural pallet rack eliminates such problems with a superior case flow design that features a number of advantages over standard models.
For one thing, the wheels are much larger, wider, and stronger than traditional equivalents. Wheels are staggered within the wheel bed to create smoother flow and less carton damage. The axles are also designed differently. Steel shelf beams provide support to the entire module, making it more rigid and stable. Because wheel beds are customizable, there is a great deal more flexibility when slotting products. SelecDeck has no slotting limitations, so it is never necessary to add more tracks if the unit is re-profiled.
Drive In / Drive Through Structural Pallet Rack.
This is the favored rack design for warehouses that have to make use of every square inch of horizontal floor space and vertical cube space. Made completely from structural steel and featuring the innovative “Space-Saver Arm” design it provides the best in adjustability, durability, and safety required by heavy-duty Drive-In applications.
Glide-In “Push-Back”
This structural pallet rack design combines the high density features of Drive-In rack with the selection power of deep rack. This is made possible through a special, patented system of enveloping wheeled carts that operate through gravity. When a pallet is removed from the front, the pallet behind it moves forward to take its place. Different cart designs can be special ordered based on height requirements and storage content.
Structural pallet racks offer a number of benefits that can be found in no other form of material handling storage and retrieval system. These benefits include, but are not limited, to the following:
Long-Term Cost Savings
Because structural steel is tougher and more difficult to damage, it will continue to perform for a longer amount of time. By minimizing repair and replacement costs, Easy Rack offers you a return on investment in the form of fewer repeat purchases and minimized repair costs.
Structural pallet racks can take a hit without costing the operation downtime
Even if an upright suffers an impact and is damaged in the process, it will still retain 90% of its load capacity. This allows an operation to continue its process flow while the upright is repaired onsite.
Easy Rack Two-Year Warranty
For those people who still fear worst case scenario product failure, our two-year warranty offers beam and upright replacement as covered per the terms of the warranty.
Tear Drop Pallet Rack
Pallet rack guards prevent accidental impacts from damaging standing pallet racks and contents. These devices fit around rails and corners and create an insulating barrier against impact. If your organization stores equipment and supplies on pallet racks and/or industrial shelves, we strongly recommend that you invest in pallet rack guards and shelf guards to protect both your storage devices and their contents.
Many companies have a number of rack and shelf guards from which you can choose, available in both used and new models.
Polyethylene Pallet Rack Protectors
Rugged polyethylene protectors protect pallet racking against damage. They are easy to self-install, and they can be mounted with a quick velcro mount or concrete lag to the ground hardware included.
Rack Guard with Rubber Bumper Insert
These rack and shelf guards are made from steel and feature a rubber bumper insert that fits between the guard and the rack column. They wrap around the pallet rack column and increase its strength on impact by over 100 percent. Your order includes 1/2" thick rubber bumper insert and installation hardware. These pallet rack guards are easy to install with a wrench or socket and do not require concrete drilling.
Low Profile Rack Guards
Low profile pallet rack guards attach at floor level to pallet racking, shelving supports, and wall corners. All components are laser cut. Low profile guards install in half the time of other guards with two boltholes and provide excellent protection against damage from fork trucks, pallet trucks and carts.
Structural Pallet Rack Guards
Structural rack guards are available with or without a rubber bumper. They can be installed in concrete surfaces and feature four mounting holes for maximum stability. They are an easy and economical way to protect against damage to pallet racking and wall corners.
Corner Rack and Shelving Guards
Protect busy corners, expensive machinery and personnel with 90? perpendicular protection. Easy Rack provides both steel and aluminum units labeled ?SAFETY FIRST? as a reminder to personnel of the importance of safety regulations.
Triple Elbow Guards
Triple elbow guards protect the corners of machinery, buildings and offices. The 90? bend fits snug around corners to provide the ultimate protection against lift trucks or other mobile equipment.
Adjustable Rack Guard
Protect the row ends of tandem pallet racking with this heavy duty, welded steel adjustable rack guard. This rack and shelf guard features a slide in design width a variable width range of 78" to 108". It comes with steel mounting plates with 1" dia. holes to safely secure unit to floor.
Poly Rack Guards
Poly Rack Guards are a new innovation offering exceptional performance in racking protection. Rack systems are not designed to be struck by forklifts and even low speed collisions can lead to structural damage. This damage is a major occupational health and safety issue and is very costly to repair. Installation takes just seconds to install by hand. The design incorporates an ingenious spring clip design that enables it to securely grip the column and automatically adjust its width to suit a wide range of column sizes. All other products require an additional attachment system like Velcro, bolts, concrete penetration or additional parts that are prone to breakage. These are available in three different Inner Dimension column sizes available, as well as yellow or black.
