Technical specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Load per beam level | No general value is published in the catalogue reviewed; the selected system requires a calculation and load notice. |
| Frame height | Sized for the building, forklift, pallets, slab and selected system. |
| Beam length | Catalogue: 800 × 1,200 mm pallets, L 950/1,850/2,700/3,600 mm for 1/2/3/4 pallets; 1,000 × 1,200 mm pallets, L 1,150/2,250/3,300 mm; 1,200 × 1,200 mm pallets, L 1,350/2,650/3,900 mm. |
| Frame depth | Selected for pallet orientation, dimensions and overhang; these pages publish no general depth. |
| Beam example | A 2,700 mm beam is shown for three 800 × 1,200 mm pallets; clearances, frame depth, overhang and load must be checked. |
| Frames, slab and anchoring | Frame load, base plates, anchors, shims and slab capacity must come from the calculation and selected-system notice. |
| Standards and evidence | Applicable references, calculation note, instructions and any certificate must be confirmed in the installation file; the catalogue does not provide them. |
| Use | Indoor; outdoor use requires a site-specific finish, anchoring and checks. No universal outdoor specification is published. |
| Compatible accessories | Decking, frame guards, protection shoes, stops and anti-fall devices depending on geometry and load; compatibility must be checked. |
Storage catalogue, printed pages 8–9: pallet-rack principles, pallet formats and beam lengths. These pages publish no load table, general height, anchoring detail or product certificate.
How to size pallet racking?
Pallet racking cannot be selected from height alone. The study checks at least:
- Pallet type and dimensions: Euro 800 × 1,200 mm, industrial 1,000 × 1,200 mm or specific
- Maximum weight of a loaded pallet, which determines the beam profile
- Usable building height and forklift lift height
- Aisle width, turning radius and lift height required by the truck; values depend on the selected truck and must be confirmed
- Permissible floor load (slab) and frame base fixing
- Pallets per bay, safety clearances and SKU rotation: direct access or high-density storage to be assessed
Selective or high-density pallet racking: which one?
| Criterion | Selective racking | Back-to-back racking | High-density storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layout | Against a wall or at the edge | Central, back to back | Compact block; aisle circulation to be studied |
| Pallet access | Direct, 100% of SKUs | Direct, 100% of SKUs | By lane; choose LIFO/FIFO according to the system |
| Storage density | Medium | Good | Higher; calculate the gain on the layout, as no universal percentage is published |
| SKU variety | High | High | More limited: homogeneous SKUs per lane |
| Typical use | Warehouse perimeter | Warehouse core | Large homogeneous volumes or space constraints; specific study required |
