There are many ways to calculate the appropriate pallet rack beam sizes for your business. The first step Tis to determine the amount of space you have for your racking system. Once you have a general idea of your space needs, you can calculate the number of uprights you will need. Make sure to include the height of each pallet when determining the proper beam length. Beam height and width are the most important measurements to consider when calculating the perfect rack height.
Beam length is directly proportional to the distance between each pallet and the space between the beams. The longer the beam, the greater its capacity. However, larger ones cost more than smaller ones. Depending on your requirements, there are several different beam lengths from which to choose. Using a pallet measurement tool, you can estimate the amount of space needed for a given beam size for your business. By following these tips, you'll find the perfect pallet rack beam sizes for your business.
The width of the beams and the length of the uprights will determine the maximum load capacity. The height of each beam face determines the beam's capacity. The wider the beam, the more weight it can support. The longer the beam, the more expensive it is. Fortunately, there are many different types of load beams available. At Engineered Products, we offer two types of load beams: structural C-Channel beams and Roll Formed Step Beams.
Beam length is critical when calculating the maximum load capacity. Beams should be 3 inches over the length of the uprights to avoid overcrowding, which is a dangerous practice. If you're planning to store multiple pallets, you'll need to determine the exact length of each beam. If this is not possible, you can subtract six inches from the depth of each pallet to ensure a proper fit.
Beam height is the most important factor when determining the capacity of a pallet rack. The height of the beams determines the amount of weight that the rack can support. Beams can be as tall as 192 inches in length. The beams of the system should be at least 36 inches in width and tall, but the height should be adjusted to accommodate the width of the uprights. If you're planning to use a pallet rack for your business, be sure to measure the width of the uprights first.
Beam length is a key consideration when choosing a pallet rack for your business. Beam length is essential because it will determine the capacity of the rack. You'll need to select a beam with a high beam length, as this will prevent overstretching. Beams that are higher than six inches will not be safe. But be careful not to go over the load limit if it is necessary for your business.
