PALLET RACKS PROMAN

• The racking frame is composed of two uprights connected by the vertical and horizontal diagonals. The diagonals are constructed from rolled steel with a C cross section and are fixed to the uprights with bolts. The racking depth is determined by the length of the cross brace.
• The frame uprights are manufactured from cold-formed (rolled) steel section. The upright's profile comes 100 and 120 mm wide, and they are made from sheet metal that is 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3 mm thick, according to the required load-bearing capacity. We make the frames in standard heights.
• The frame is perforated with holes 70 mm apart.
• The upright is equipped with a metal footplate that serves to distribute stress and anchor the rack to the floor.
• The uprights are either provided in standard RAL 5010 blue or, alternatively, galvanized.
• The racks are made to be installed on high-quality concrete flooring; any irregularities are compensated for by shims under the frame footplates. After being adjusted, the rack is anchored to the floor using bolts.
• It is customary for racks to be labeled with safety charts for load capacity.
• The depth of the frame is determined by the size of the pallets used; standard sizes are 1100, 900, and 750 mm.
• Double row racking is connected by a spacer to provide the racking with greater stability.
• Passageways for people or vehicles are equipped with decking from particle board or grating to protect against goods falling from the pallets.
• The rack's beams are manufactured from C-sections that has been hot rolled together to create a hollow profile with a rectangular cross section. Special L-shaped steel brackets (left and right) are welded on to both ends. The brackets have angled rectangular pins, which are used to attach the beams to the vertical frame. The beam is always secured by one specially shaped safety catch inside each bracket that protects the beam from falling during pallet handling. Attachment without bolts allows for fast and easy installation.

• The size of the beam section is determined by the bay's required load-bearing capacity and the length of the beam. Standard beam lengths are divided into two series: 1800, 2700, and 3600 mm for Euro-pallets with 2200 and 3300 mm for industrial pallets (i.e., the actual storage length of the beam). The permitted load capacity of the beams is listed in the load capacity chart.
• The pallet is loaded onto the beams at a depth of 1200 mm (Euro-pallets). Other types of loading are resolved on an individual basis using various braces for the pallets.
• The standard color for the beams is RAL 2004 orange.
• The height can be adjusted along the frame at 70 mm increments.
• According to the customer's needs, it is possible to supplement the racking with shelving – from particle board, steel grating, or sheet metal panels, for example. The pallet rack also offers the option of storing reels and rolls on an axle set onto the rack by using special crossbars.

Optional Fittings

• Particle board panels (decking)
• Sheet metal panels (decking)
• Sheet metal for load distribution

Racking Protectors

The rack's front side, corners, and uprights are all exposed to damage during forklift manipulation; therefore, we recommend equipping them with protective elements such as upright, frame, and frontal protectors.

Backstops – Protection Against Falling Pallets

We recommend supplementing single row racking with a backstop on the back side – as protection against pallets being pushed off the back side of the rack. It is also possible to cover the whole back side with wire mesh.

Crossbeams

Various types of crossbeams are used as pallet braces when loading box pallets, atypical pallets, or barrels.

Preparation Stations

It is possible to add preparation stations to the face of the racking, where they can be used to prepare the pallet for storage.

Forklift Guides

With the customer's agreement, it is possible to supplement the racking with forklift guides corresponding to the type of forklift used in order to make the racking faster and easier to use.

Decking

According to the customer’s needs, it is possible to equip the racking with decking from particle board, metal grating, or sheet metal panels.

Load Capacity Labels

In a visible place at the end of each row, each rack is labeled with a tag showing the number of storage levels, load capacity of the storage level, and the load capacity of the entire rack.

Bracing

Bracing is used on pallet racking in order to increase the racks' load-bearing capacity and to ensure stability in seismically unstable areas.
