# Teardrop Pallet Rack Canonical URL: https://www.ridgurak.com/pallet-rack/pallet-rack-storage/teardrop-pallet-rack/ Compatible with virtually all existing "teardrop" style rack connections - new and old. ## Content ## Tear Drop Pallet Rack #### Patented Design, Superior Value Ease of assembly and rack adjustability are the design advantages that boltless Tear Drop Pallet Rack Systems offer. 100% selective Tear Drop pallet rack systems allow access to every pallet. This storage rack design is economical, efficient and adaptable in application, due to quick assembly and adjustment without tools, and an affordable purchase price. #### Tear Drop Style Pallet Rack Our Ridg-U-Tier II Tear Drop pallet rack system provides an enhanced, rigid, automatic lock for improved safety. Ridg-U-Rak's patented Springlock locking mechanism is an integral element of the rack's beam, replacing the "pinch-pin" locking system. The Springlock assembly provides positive beam-to-column engagement, improving installation speed and safety. A center reinforcing rib is unique to Ridg-U-Rak's Tear Drop pallet rack configurations, providing heavier bracing for added strength and rigidity, and larger columns for better impact resistance. Frames are available in any height or depth and numerous column configurations providing great flexibility in pallet rack system design. Column Sizes: 3x1-5/8, 3x2-1/4, 3x3 and 4x3-inch Beam Sizes: 2-2 thru 6-2 inch step beams Connection Style Tear Drop and Pin with automatic lock #### Features: - Offset anchor holes - Two-inch vertical adjustability - Large base plate. - 6 bend column - 100% welded uprights #### Applications & Options: - 100% Selective - Universal application - Industrial, retail and general warehousing - Easily reconfigured - Many accessories available - Versatile for inventory changes - Economical installation - Immediate access to every pallet load ## Tear Drop Frames easy assembly Teardrop systems offer easy assembly with 2" vertical beam adjustments. No tools are required. The teardrop beam-to-column connection is designed to be compatible with other widely available teardrop systems. - Offset anchor holes - Full array of profiles to optimize the solution - 2" vertical adjustability - Large base plates - 6 bend column - 100% welded uprights #### Frame Capacities Vertical Beam Spacing UF-S31I UF-S32I UF-S33I UF-R33I UF-M33I UF-Y33I UF-H33I UF-M43I UF-H43I 36" 19,100 23,500 28,600 34,100 38,000 42,100 47,000 47,900 62,600 42" 17,900 22,100 26,900 33,100 35,600 39,500 43,000 45,700 60,500 48" 16,700 20,600 25,100 29,800 33,800 36,600 40,900 44,500 58,100 54" 15,200 18,900 23,100 27,500 31,900 33,600 38,600 43,100 55,300 60" 13,800 17,200 21,100 25,000 28,100 30,400 33,900 40,200 52,400 72" 10,800 13,700 17,000 20,000 22,300 24,100 26,800 35,300 46,000 84" 8,200 10,600 13,200 15,400 17,200 18,600 20,700 30,200 39,300 96" 6,500 8,400 10,500 12,200 13,500 14,700 16,300 25,200 32,800 108" 5,200 6,800 8,500 9,900 10,900 11,800 13,100 20,500 22,600 • The capacities shown in this table are for static load conditions only. • The Frame Capacity Chart gives static load capacities based on the specified "Unsupported Length" of the columns (Vertical Beam Spacing). 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".

You can tie into many existing systems both old and new. Beams have a safety factor of 1.67 based on minimum yield of steel. All beam capacities are calculated based on the requirements of the current RMI specification. Our teardrop pallet system provides a robust, patented, automatic lock for improved safety. The Springlock assembly provides positive beam-to-column engagement, improving installation speed and safety. All capacities are based on uniformly distributed loads on a pair of beams. Other loading conditions can greatly reduce the carrying capacity of a beam. For unusual loading requirements, call your local Ridg-U-Rak distributor. - Offset anchor holes - Full array of profiles to optimize the solution - 2" vertical adjustability - Large base plates - 6 bend column - 100% welded uprights #### Beam Capacities Beam Profile Beam Lengths 48" 60" 72" 84" 92" 96" 102" 108" 120" 144" 156" 250 S 5,700 4,530 3,130 2,300 1,910 1,750 1,550 1,380 1,120 770 660 300 S 7,500 5,980 4,820 3,530 2,940 2,690 2,380 2,120 1,720 1,190 1,010 355 S 9,760 7,770 6,460 5,330 4,440 4,070 3,600 3,210 2,590 1,790 1,520 410 L 10,810 8,620 7,150 6,110 5,570 5,200 4,600 4,100 3,310 2,290 1,940 410 S 12,000 9,780 8,120 6,930 6,320 5,830 5,160 4,600 3,710 2,570 2,180 465 S 12,000 11,970 9,940 8,490 7,740 7,410 6,960 6,320 5,110 3,530 3,000 500 S 12,000 12,000 11,170 9,540 8,700 8,330 7,830 7,380 6,140 4,250 3,610 550 S 18,000 18,000 18,000 11,150 10,160 9,720 9,140 8,620 7,740 5,420 4,610 600 S 18,000 18,000 18,000 12,850 11,710 11,210 10,540 9,940 8,920 6,790 5,770 650 S 18,000 18,000 18,000 14,660 13,360 12,790 12,020 11,340 10,180 8,360 7,110 650 R 18,000 18,000 18,000 18,000 15,160 14,520 13,640 12,870 11,550 9,370 7,970 • Capacities are based on uniformly distributed loads per pair of beams. • Capacities listed are for non-seismic conditions.
