Primary Components And Accessories In The Drive-In Pallet Racking System

Mar 09, 2024 Leave a message

The following are the primary components and accessories in the drive in racking system design:

 

Longitudinal upper beam

The upper longitudinal beam connects the frames in the upper area crosswise, creating gantries to secure the structure. All of the compact racking aisles must have beams installed.

 

Horizontal brace

The horizontal brace is a top-mounted metal component that reinforces the compact structure.

 

Frame

The frame is a fundamental component of the Drive in compact racking. These frames are made up of two uprights, diagonals, baseplates, and fixing elements.

 

Frame and upright protection

The frame and upright protectors protect the installation from potential forklift damage.

 

Upright

The galvanized upright is the frame's main component. Customers can choose from upright sections and lengths to meet their drive-in racking system design requirements.

 

Bracket

The metal components that support the support rails or pallet beams on each level, thus indirectly supporting the pallets, are known as brackets.

 

Welded baseplate

The welded baseplate is specifically designed for frames with the highest load and height in drive in racking system design.

 

Pallet beam or support rail

These horizontal profiles support the pallets on each level of the Drive-in pallet racking system. They are made of metal and are perpendicularly attached to the upright with brackets.

 

Forklift guide rail

This is a floor-level steel rail that runs the length of the aisle. Its purpose is to guide the forklift as it enters the structure and protects it from potential impacts. It also helps to separate the forklift from the drive in the drive-in racking system design.

 

Pallet guidance

It is located in front of the pallet racking beam or pallet support rail and assists operators when depositing unit loads. It also shields the structure from potential damage.

 

Pallet backstop

Pallet backstops are preventive safety backstops whose main function is to keep the pallet from falling at the back of the aisle. This is due to an improper maneuver in the drive-in racking system design.
