• Structural Pallet Rack

Structural Pallet Rack

Structural Pallet Rack Systems provide 100% accessibility to all stored items and are comparable in use and capacity to Ridg-U-Rak's other 100% selective pallet rack systems - Slotted and Tear Drop. Structural storage racks are fabricated using hot-rolled structural steel channels for uprights and beams. A heavy-duty lower horizontal brace and welded foot protector are standard on structural pallet rack systems. These 100% selective pallet racks are covered with long-lasting powder coating and baked enamel finishes providing durability even under the most demanding conditions.

Structural configurations are also used in Drive-In High Density Pallet Rack systems. Installation is simple and safe with Ridg-U-Rak.

Made from solid structural steel channel with either bolted or slotted beam-to-column connections.

Bolted or Slotted

* 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 though 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.

If your system was provided to you by Ridg-U-Rak, please contact your regional sales manager for the appropriate capacity rating. If you purchased a Ridg-U-Rak system from a source other than Ridg-U-Rak, it is recommended that you work with an experienced rack design engineer to obtain the appropriate capacity rating.
