Pallet Racks

Roll-Formed Pallet Racks

How to Order
Beam length: Shelf Length equals the distance between uprights. It is determined by adding the widths of pallet loads plus a 5” side clearance between upright and pallet and 6” between pallet loads. Shelf beam capabilities are based on a pair of beams supporting an evenly distributed load.
Rack Height: Add the following figures
Height of Pallet Loads (including pallet)
+ Height of Shelf Beam
+ 4” Minimum vertical Clearance for each pallet load.

---

Sum of Above Dimensions = Rack Height

For uppermost load level, location of shelf beam should be 6” less than fork truck’s maximum lift height.

Top of beams need to be at even increments.

1. Based on RMI 2002 Specification for the Design, Testing and Utilization of Industrial Steel Storage Racks.
2. *Spacing is distance from floor to top of first beam level. If maximum opening is not floor level, “Spacing” is distance from top of beam to top of beam +1”.
3. Applicable for non-seismic use only. Building codes may require otherwise.
4. Capabilities are for frame components only. Overall rack system configuration is the responsibility of others.

5. Contact your Excel representative for design assistance or for applications not covered by above.
6. Where the bottom portion of frames are exposed to potential minor impacts from forklift trucks or moving equipment consideration should be given to purchasing one of the optional protection devises offered by Excel.
7. *F14 Frame capacity: 4,000 lbs. max beam level.
8. Additional capacity possible with double columns – design required.

Capacities are based on 1997 RMI specification for design, testing, and utilization of industrial steel storage racks.
