Teardrop Pallet Rack
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 |

• 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".
Tear Drop Beams
easy assembly
Interchangeable teardrop beams, as with slotted beams, are available in many profiles, in virtually any length, with capacities to 18,000 lbs. per pair. 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.
